Do Luger Magazines Become Less Effective~

I wonder if there are any springs that never” take a set”…no matter how long they compressed to the solid state. The knowledge of physics leads me to belief that the stored energy in the compressed spring gradually and inevitably dissipates …the spring is taking a set.

I have heard of magazines kept loaded for years of not decades and still capable of feeding adequately, but I bet the spring get shorter…

I don,t think I would keep loaded magazines for a long time. Perhaps for military it,s necessary and affordable, but for a civilian…

IMHO
