I favor my revolver for home defense partly because I'm concerned for my semi-auto's magazine springs, though I am quicker with a magazine over a speed loader. But I'm reconsidering my selection and would like hearing others' thoughts.
I've heard of cycling mags every few months or just letting the mag wait until the SHTF; I was concerned with easing the tension of a loaded mag's spring but I also hear that repeated loading and unloading - compressing and decompressing - would wear the spring faster than just letting it sit. And do folks load the mag all the way or leave it partially empty?
