Greetings, How often should you change mags to a different one and let the old one rest. I would unload and let the presure off, and replace with one that has rested. Don't shoot it at all, I just carry it. Thanks

Springs go bad by cycling-loading and unloading. Therefore, there is no reason to let it "rest". Besides at the range, I keep my p32 loaded, both mags. Haven't had a problem and it is 5-6 years old. That goes the same for all of my magazines-an empty mag is a useless mag.

Kel-Tec magazines are made by Mec-Gar and these folks produce some of the best magazines made.
As stated, there is no problem leaving your magazines loaded as long as they are kept clean and not allowed to load up with dust, lint, or rust.
Also as stated, spring cycle, and not compression, causes fatigue.
Oiling the magazines will make the problems worse and usually ends up killing the primers of the cartridges loaded in them.
If you have a major concern of overstressing the spring by keeping it loaded, just download the magazine by one round.

I don't rotate any of my P32 magazines.
When I carry my P32, I jsut grab one of the three 7 round magazines I have at random. I also grab my 10 round magazine as a spare.
