I\u2019m no metallurgist, but I\u2019ve been handling guns since the 1960s. One advantage to the revolver is that it can remain loaded with the springs at rest until needed. An auto pistol magazine operates on spring pressure pushing rounds up into the feeding path of the pistol. That\u2019s kind of important; if it\u2019s slow, you have a stoppage.<\/h2>\n<h2>Auto pistols operate on springs. For example, failure to keep up with the recoil spring, allowing it to get weak, also leads to malfunction.<\/h2>\n<h2>Knowing the recommended spring replacement schedule is critical. With magazine springs isn\u2019t the same thing true?<\/h2>\n<h2>Well, no. If the magazines are loaded and left alone \u2013 assuming that the manufacturer didn\u2019t select a magazine body too short for the capacity and over-stress the magazine spring \u2013 they seem to work fine.<\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetacticalwire.com\/features\/10682ec0-8181-4506-a88f-611f94d3a351\">RTWT<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Magazine Fatigue? &nbsp; A question that routinely comes up when a new user gets an auto pistol \u2013 whether a police trainee or armed citizen \u2013 is \u201chow long can the magazine stay loaded without compromising reliability?\u201d \u2013 or words to that effect.
