Now another question, do you rotate your magazines out, say every six months?

Nope....

Springs and followers are cheap. Changed every 2 years or so. Some argue every year, but I shoot often enough and they are still fine after 2 years. I could probably go longer, but I may even cut it down to 1 year since the dept. is supposed to start picking up the tab.

I do have an extra one, at home, that I have had for 7 years. Always left loaded and still functions fine.

I don't download on my days off either. They stay loaded the entire time.

     I got to get some more mags for my G22 now though.
