BUT! BUT! BUT!... The high speed low drag range officer at Honey Island told me he doesn't keep his mags loaded, because it kills the springs!
I think he's a member here. If he is, I apologize if I hurt your feelings, but you're wrong.
He shouldn't be mad! He should do what I did when people on here were spouting their opinionated nonsense about the pitfalls of using the slide stop as an alternative to racking the slide; call the manufacturers and ask them! They made the damn things!
Stunningly enough, even after I posted direct quotes from the assembly engineers at 4 or 5 of the top manufacturers stating there were no ill effects to using the slide stop, they still had dummies on here saying differently!
I thought to myself, "Damn, That is just how phony liberal's thought process' work!"
