    I think he’s behind jerry and jerry in regards to single action revolvers was far behind bob munden. Bob munden could shoot two targets on opposite sides of the room and it would sound like one shot.

    One video I watched said something about wax bullets.... I don't think they're full power loads.

    How long can you store ammo inside a magazine without worrying about any issues with the magazine springs or other pieces? I haven’t had any issues yet, but will I?

    You'll get both sides but ultimately you're fine if they're quality mags to leave them loaded

    The way I see it, if the time ever came where I needed those mags loaded sooner rather than later, I would rather deal with the chance of a stoppage due to an issue with the mag spring than deal with trying to pull out the magazines, dig out the ammo and load the magazines under stress.

    I agree, but I’ve been sort of rotating magazines - unloading one and having one loaded in the gun and at least one other spare magazine. Sort of like rotating my tires and using the full-size spare. Just didn’t know if this was worth it or made any sense.

    Cycling the springs regularly will actually wear them out faster

    A suggestion however is to separate training mags from “practical use” mags. I have a long and complicated process but the short of it, separate your defensive mags, and mark to designate your training mags. I’ve used tape sometimes, Krylon, and sharpie historically. Whatever makes sense.

    My TAC mags are tested then loaded and marked with a caliber band (then they stay that way). My training mags are marked with an old stencil and spray paint. When they stop feeding reliably, they are tossed in the parts bin.

    I bought a g45 from your store (well and a Ruger PC Charger :D). Is there a similar Glock that has a slimmer frame for my girly hands that still has a 15ish capacity? An ambi mag release and slide release would be very helpful too.

    A 43x or 48 with a shield arms mag but no ambi controls. Mag release can be switched to lefty though

    I guess I could just pull back and release the slide to reload but I really like the ambi release on the 45. Shield Arms is completely out of stock also. Do you have a 43x or 48 in stock?

    Ok thanks. Maybe I'll put my G45 up for trade in the for sale section.

    This is what I've always been told. Leave them loaded or unloaded and replace training mag springs when needed.
