I was told a long time ago that its okay to leave them fully loaded or completely empty, but to leave a magazine partially loaded could damage the spring over time. That's the assumption I've been operating under for 20+ years and it hasn't bitten me yet.

Haha, it's ok, you'll get the hang of it. Welcome to the board! Leave em loaded, they're no use to you otherwise. As the others have said, it's the constant loading/unloading that will wear them out. |

No. In fact loading and unloading them is worse.
I have shot WWII .45 mags that were loaded back then and stayed that way for 55 or so years. |
