I also kept revolvers loaded for long time availability because of the simplicity of action
and no magazine hassel. Then I took out a Mark IV .38 S&W I had stored loaded in my wife's business for about a year to shoot. One out of six fired. The primers ignited but oil had penetrated the cases resulting in a low powered "poof", one didn't clear the barrel. I rotate magazines in my P1 weekly in the house and change the ammo in the revolver every month.
