Valves are adjusted to make up for wear on the cam shaft, lifters, rocker arms, and valve seats.I guess they never have to adjust valves, then?
Why not just insert a loaded magazine but not chamber a round.
You were able to get the last two rounds in your magazines after leaving it partially loaded because of initial spring set.
Once that occurs, no further weakening of the spring will happen, even if left loaded indefinitely.
Cycling the spring by shooting is what wears out the spring and makes it weaker.
That might also suggest she couldn't pull the slide back to clear a malfunction or unload the gun after a shooting.he was concerned that his wife might not be able to chamber a round by retracting the slide
9mmepiphany said:1. you're leaving the action exposed to the entry of debris which might obstruct the function when the gun is readied for action.
2. the slide could be "jarred" closed, leaving a gun less safe than in condition 2...hammer down on a chambered round
3. when you decide to chamber a round, you're left with the gun cocked in SA...thus disabling the designed safety of the first DA trigger stroke
