For my BT 380 and my BT380cc I have 8 mags that can be used in either of them and I keep 4 loaded, one in each pistol plus a spare. The other 4 mags are empty. I rotate them on the last day of the month.
With my Ruger LC9s I only have 3 mags, 2 loaded and 1 empty spare. On the last day of the month I load my empty mag and put it in my LC9s, I unload my old spare and keep it empty.
I just don't want the mag spring to stay compressed for a long time. I am not sure if it does any good but I feel better.
However when I go to the range it changes everything but either way my mags are rotated at least once a month so my mags do not stay loaded for more than a month.
Maybe there are ex police or Military people that can give us the correct info on storing mags loaded or not.
