[QUOTE="RickN, post: 1493867, member: 8854"] I may be wrong but I believe this came from years ago when the metal used in the mag body and springs was not up to today's standards. I have seen some pre-WW2 1911 mags that have been left loaded for years and would not function. I have also seen some old Savage 22 rifle mags that were left loaded and it messed up the feed lips. I do believe that modern mags can be left loaded for reasonable amounts of time. [/QUOTE]
