Yes, keep it loaded. That consistent repetition of loading and unloading your mag will wear out the spring. Keep it loaded unless cleaning or shooting.Hi folks,
Sorry if this has been discussed before and if it has perhaps someone can direct me to the link..... but was wondering what folks do with their concel carry Bersa, with respect to unloading vs keep loaded the magazine on a daily basis.
I don't carry everyday but perhaps several times a week and have been unloading the magazine every night at the end of the day. Then the next time I carry, I fill the magazine up.
Would it be better to just keep the magazine loaded??
Any opinion will be appreciated.
Regards,
Daniel
I honestly mean no disrespect, but its a magazine, not a clip. Sorry, just one of my pet peeves.....Spare clip is full too....
I know. Was on phone and clip was easier to typeI honestly mean no disrespect, but its a magazine, not a clip. Sorry, just one of my pet peeves.
Ok, but I thought I should apologize for being snobby, though. It did sound bad (on my part).I know. Was on phone and clip was easier to type
The problem with using "clip" when you mean magazine is that there are clips and nobody knows what we will call them if the term clip is overused. I keep about 10 stripper clips for an old M1 Carbine in my safe. They don't load the Carbine but can load the 15 round magazine. Have a friend who's hobby is long range shooting with open sights. His rifle is the M1 Garand, which BTW takes 8 round en bloc clips. The Italian Carcano is another rifle that takes en bloc clips. En bloc means it actually fits into the weapon to join with the spring and follower inside to become a magazine. Stripper is a term used to describe a clip that attaches to a magazine so the rounds can be "stripped" off into the magazine. A magazine has a spring and a follower. A clip only holds the rounds. Getting off my soap box now I think it's time for my meds.I know. Was on phone and clip was easier to type
