I keep a mag loaded with hollow points for home defense. Periodically I will remove the cartridges and load them in a different mag. I put the empty mag in the gun (XDM9) and it would not lock the slide open when cycling it unless I pushed up on the mag while pulling back the slide. All the mags that were left empty worked fine.
Am I weakening the spring in the mag by leaving it fully loaded for a couple months at a time?
Next range trip I will try it out and see what happens when actually firing it.
