Are there any negative effects from keeping pistol magazines loaded? What about negative effects from keeping one in the hole on a handgun?
Keeping a mag loaded doesn't affect it near as much as loading and unloading it does.

Well the way a spring works it gets weaker as it gets compressed and decompressed over and over not just leaving it compressed all the time.
I always have at least 5 mags for my G19 loaded to full cap with a round in the chamber of my G19 full time unless im firing it or cleaning it.
The only reason I rotate mags is not for the the sake of the springs but the sake of the bullets. Ive seen some bullet cases deform when left loaded in mags for to long but thats it. I jsut rotate the ammo around int eh mag and check for bullet setback from being chambered and cleared everyday in my duty weapon.
