The metal memory in today's springs are of no consequence. I have left mags loaded continuously for over 15 years with no effect. I wouldn't worry as long as they are modern mags.

If you carry a man cannon  ;D you do not have to worry about that. Real men carry wheel guns.  Just picking guys you know I carry those bottom feeding things every once in awhile.

Go talk to LEO's.  Those AR's, Mini's, 870's, and pistols stay loaded almost forever, years and years.  That doesn't present any issues to them.  But tell the wife otherwise, 'but I have to go to the range, you know the magazines.  What?  No I can't unload them by hand, its not the same, metal fatigue and all that, it has to be the real thing.'

There's a horrible joke in there somewhere.

At my house that's code for "trip to the range".

Bingo! Now you understand! Seriously though, I don't always take the loaded gun to the range monthly but I try. I'm just an old teletype repairman and I like to take care of springs. Works the same with 1911 guide rods, are full length rods needed? No but tey support the spring as it operates and that helps. As for as cocked and locked is concerned I never worry about it for the same occasional release of the tension at the range.
