[QUOTE="mr ed, post: 1192956, member: 6777"] Its not really about the spring so much as other factors. The reason the extra space is there is because it is needed to load the magazine into the gun with the slide closed. When you insert the mag into the gun with the slide closed the top cartridge is pressed down by the bottom of the slide. Therefore if the mag was completely full with no "give", either the mag catch wouldn't work or the pressure would cause the floorplate, follower,spring and ammo to come flying out of the bottom of the mag and most likely ruining the mag.
