Good video Paul. As an engineer, I can say making a high quality spring is a difficult thing. There's really only about three materials a spring can be made from. 1. Iron-steel alloys 2. Titanium 3. Berylium-copper alloys. Other materials like pure copper and aluminum have an elastic limit that is way too low. Meaning that even with a small deflection, the elastic limit will be exceeded and a permanent plastic deformation will occur. But to make a really good spring is very difficult and expensive. Just the right alloys and an intricate heat treatment. This will result in a spring with a high elastic limit. (Will survive a large compression for a long time.) But even a quality manufacturer can put out a "bad spring" occasionally. Your two solutions are perfect: 1. If a spring has taken a permanent "set". i.e The spring is a little shorter than it originally was, Then stretching it out(exceeding the elastic limit) to get the spring back to the original length. But each time this is done, the metal is being "cold worked-hardened". And much like a paper clip bent back and forth, it will eventually fail. 2. If you suspect you have a mixed bag of low quality and high quality magazines, or just want them to last forever, loading them less than 50% (15 rounds) will keep the spring compression below the elastic limit even for the low quality magazines For me, 99% of my shooting is at a shooting range where I am experimenting. I load all my magazines with 6 rounds. And any loaded magazines I store are loaded with 6 round. I'm quite sure even the "bad" magazines will last forever. And even at 50% loaded they would probably last forever. Jeeze I'm long winded... Your vids are great. I will become a member. Kevin

Not a mechanical engineer - so please correct me where I'm wrong: The amount (say percentage) of how much a certain spring "relaxes" while being left loaded depends on the following: - The higher the temperature - the more quickly it relaxes. - The higher the load - the more quickly it relaxes. I'm not sure if either of the two are exponential, as in, removing a few rounds from the max capacity would make more of a difference, than removing two more on top of that would. Same goes for temperature. What I do figure to be rather exponential is the time: the relaxing that happens within the first say 10 days is by far larger than any extra amount of relaxing that happens afterwards. Again, correct me where I'm wrong. Based on the little knowledge and experience I have, I'd say that clean, good quality magazine, filled to roughly 70% of its full capacity and not held in very hot, or very cold, or damp conditions, should be fairly reliable. As in - not really needing to be kept unloaded. I'd say the same about the ammo in the magazine. Having said all that - however slow the relaxing of the springs were, I don't see why anyone would keep loaded magazines in storage.

Physics grad with some engineering interns/jobs/personal experience: I think most of the ignorance comes from finding some equation or article loosing citing that equation. Here’s an easy solution, that requires only a few variables. And energy is conserved. First time I worked outside of that world, a weld engineer made me feel like a newborn as I realized how little I knew-not that what I knew was wrong.. just that ideal, perfect situations only cover so much. The rest is handled in smoke and grit and trial and error. It’s nice to think that a compressed spring in a closed system has to contain its energy forever (like it would be on a physics exam). Realistically the spring doesn’t just push in one direction, the plastic of the magazine can warp, the metal can decay... Paul’s videos-scrubbing everything gun related-are like if Socrates had a camcorder in the woods.

@@BikeGremlinRS So relaxation is a function of time and temperature. A spring will therefore always try to reach atomic equilibrium at any temp above absolute zero, at all times, and under any compression. The force the spring generates is an effect of atoms trying get back into a stable configuration, but the atoms also vibrate with an amplitude according to temperature (temp is a measure of kinetic energy). If kinetic energy is high enough, it will sever the bond between atoms and reduce the spring-force accordingly. Alternatively, if the time is long enough, the probabilistic laws of quantum mechanics dictate that the positions of atoms are chance occurrences and the bonds are going to break randomly anyway given enough time to make a probability a certainty. So if the temp is sufficiently high (red hot), the high amplitude of motion causes the atoms to move to a new stable configuration nearly instantly, resulting in the spring loosing ability to push back against the compression force. If the temperature is lower than that, then it's just a function of time, and whether or not that time is linear depends if there is reason to believe that one atom severing bonds assists or hinders another in severing bonds. It's a process that's happening all that time. So, store the spring as relaxed as possible and reduce the temp as much as possible. Then again, the times could be so impossibly long that it just doesn't matter, but that depends on the spring construction.

Now here's a third Glock story which I posted as comment on a couple of these spring compression debate videos, just my opinion based on my experience, doesn't invalidate other people's experience: rj firefly23 hours agoI left a G23 factory mag loaded for maybe 5 years in a storage area (I forgot I left it loaded) and sure enough when I moved apartments and found it, the spring had sagged and lost its power. For me this is not an urban myth and it is not word of mouth second hand from some guy I don't know . This happened to me. Paul Harrell also says the same thing. That's why he recommends a revolver if you're the type of gun owner who buys a pistol for personal defense, goes to the range once to make sure it works, then leaves it in a drawer and forgets about it. A revolver spring is not under tension, unlike the magazine of an autoloader. I unload and rotate the magazines in my house gun a G30 maybe every 6 months. I'm afraid my personal experience contradicts your opinion even if you based it on your engineering class studies By the way there is a metallurgist (a different engineering specialty) who agrees with me. See the comments on Gun Torture Tests channel "Gun Myths Debunked Ep 1 Magazine Springs" on KZitem. I think his name was Don Krest check out his comments. He's an engineer too, but he deals with metal fatigue more than your theoretical force equations. Whatever your learned theories I've got to go by my first hand experience. I'm not even sure the gun would not have fed and functioned with my weak and "saggy" magazine. I'm just saying why take the chance? Sure keep your defense mags in your Glock or AR locked loaded and ready to go, but why not just unload and rotate magazines at some convenient interval? For example every 4-6 months? Like I said the compressed magazine you leave in your gun may still function even after years, but why take the chance? Rotating the magazines will insure they will maintain spring tension. This practice is similar to experienced gun people like Lucky Gunner and Yeager who recommend using up your ammo you have carried in you gun every year or so. It's not that ammo stored in your carry gun for over a few years won't work, it probably will, but why take the chance? My weak spring was a Glock factory mag. I don't know if Glock designed them to stay loaded forever or not, but after a few years compressed the spring was soft as mush compared to a new one. Felt like silly putty magazine spring to me. Is this creep? You say one couldn't tell the difference in a lifetime. This wasn't a life time, but it was a few years and I could very easily tell the difference. Would the pistol have still fed flawlessly from this mag with a saggy spring? Maybe it would have, I didn't get the chance to try it. Whatever the potential functionality of the saggy mag, I would not take the chance in a carry or home defense situation. Just rotate your "ready mags" you leave loaded in your weapon every 6 months. Let the springs decompress and return to fully extended state. Give your metal molecules a break. Magazine springs, you deserve a break today. Simple insurance.Read more Show less

Bought my mother in-law’s Springfield Arms 1911 that had been her husband’s. He was a decorated WWII paratrooper and kept this 1911 in a bedside drawer, fully loaded, cocked and ready to go. So did she...for 24 years AFTER he had passed away. When I bought it, she didn’t have enough hand strength to eject the magazine. It was kind of scary. The bullets had a copper-ish patina, though and when I broke it down the gun was in excellent shape.. I took it to the range and shot a box of Remington 230 grain and it worked flawlessly. Turns out he bought the gun in 1949. Maybe the steel was better? I confess, I had some 15 round S&W mags laying around, maxed out for about 16years...through the heat of Phoenix and then to California. The state decided they were gonna make those “illegal” so, to the range I went to empty them out before the law went into effect, and sent to my brother in Bossier City. They worked flawlessly with the rounds in them and the next 100 rounds. Now I have some shitty 10 round aftermarket mags that I wouldn’t trust with ANYTHING sitting in them...so there’s that. Anyway, rambled enough...that’s my story and damn if Paul didn’t motivate me to brush and floss every day!

The nerd side of this, springs in guns (magazine, recoil, striker) are metal (I'm an Engineer bare with me). Coil Springs work in torsion and bending when you compress them. There is a stress level (units of PSI, or Pounds per Square Inch). Compressing a spring produces both a combination of compression, tension and shear over the cross section of the spring, typical round wire. If you have low stress it will never fatigue. If your metal reaches a stress level called "yield" for that metal, spring bends permanently and immediately takes a set. Gun springs fully loaded are not designed to yield, but likely are at stress levels well over the fatigue stress. However "fatigue" is when you cycle metal, tension-release, tension-release over and over. Worse is tension-compression and reverse over and over. Fatigue is NOT static in technical terms. So what happens with a loaded magazine or have other springs compressed and it sits. It is a phenomenon called "Metal Creep". Depending on spring wire diameter, # of coils, radius spring was bent into or diameter of spring, metal alloy, heat treat, finish and stress levels, some metal springs will be highly creep resistant, some will not. I run my Glock 19 at 10 rounds not 15 for example and rotate through my 4 magazines. At some point I will by new springs in. I only have factory magazines. Great video Paul...

+gmcjetpilot I didn't understand any of that. If you're saying that magazine springs will, when fully compressed, eventually go to hell on you then yes, that is what I've experienced. The time it takes to reach "eventually" being determined by all those variables you described.

+Paul Harrell Ha ha. As Ed McMahon said to Johnny Carson, "You are correct Sir!". As you correctly observed and said, time for a spring to take a set is variable, based on spring material and how compressed the spring is. Partially loading magazines or tube partially extends spring life. Some springs due to material and design can remain compressed without much effect on them loosing spring force allots indefinitely. Bottom line springs compressed over a long time can take a permanent deformation, where that same stress over short time has no effect. This is what metallurgist call metal creep where metal "flows". Metal is made of crystals or grains that can "flow" by high stress or by low stress over extended time (even at room temp). Of course heating metal lowers it's yield and at extreme temps eventually makes it a liquid. If you don't want your bridges, buildings and airplanes to sag or permanently deform, they need to be designed and built so the operational stresses are well below the materials limitations. Springs in guns are often highly compressed and can't always be practically designed to avoid the issue of metal creep completely. However design and quality of the gun/springs and materials used go a long way. The idea of stretching them back by over stretching means you are cold working the metal, yielding the metal, which "work hardens" the metal (like forging). Spring material gets harder or more brittle. It could set you up for a spring failure or for it to lose compression faster. I would say buy new factory springs and replace them, they are fairly cheap.

gmcjetpilot creep in steels is essentially non-existent at the temperatures they experience in firearm magazine springs applications (ie, -40F to 150F). In fact, it is very difficult to get a steel to creep below about 600F. I characterize materials for a living, so I have personal experience with this.

I don't have your levels of technical experience, but what I do have confirms what you guys are saying. Having said that, personally when I use a gun I don't want to have a failure in function. For most of your guns you do not need to leave the magazines loaded, or leave it cocked, ever. With a defensive gun, invest in quality magazines and consider not fully loading them. Also check the functionality of the springs for the firing pin, the magazines, and general functionality of gun, consider replacing sooner than later. Also for daily carry or sitting around, get quality ammunition. Feel free to use the cheep stuff at the range or hunting. I can tell you though it sucks to lose a deer to a misfire.

I notice than when you shoot, rather than fluid motion with varying technique and varying results, you look like you are going to fire off one single round as if bullseye shooting, as if only that one round matters, but then you do it again, and again, and again and faster than the guys that try to fire fluidly fast. It really is a sight to watch and impressive.

Thanks for the video, Paul. It motivated this 30-year Marine to swap his M9's 10-round FMJ for his second magazine. I never fully load my magazine(s) due to weakening the spring. While in the Corps on the pistol range, I had a failure to feed during qual day which cost me an Expert Badge. Life experiences shape our reality. I vowed never again. So that is why my mags are never fully loaded. However, I did keep my mags fully loaded while deployed in Iraq. Semper Fi, Paul.

Speaking of Glock, my dad's glock was kept loaded to the max, sometimes with 1 in the chamber as he slept with it under his pillow for about 10 years, and that same spring was fully loaded unused for another 15 after that in a safe. While I think it was still usable, the tension of the spring compared to the unused magazine's spring is very noticeable. Though, it was reloaded and used for the first 5 years of it's life frequently as my Dad took it to the range often then, I was too young to remember what the spring was like after that earlier period.

If a component employs a spring that can exceed its elastic limit, the function and reliability of the spring can definitely be affected. Even if it is properly designed, manufacturing defects and damage can also result in premature failure. As you mention, simple precautions like reducing the spring tension can eliminate or significantly reduce the consequences. A spring that is properly designed, manufactured, and maintained should last a very long time. Great video as usual.

One thing to add... (If Paul did mention it, I must've missed it) Temperature cycling is most likely the determining factor in whether or not a spring will keep it's temper over time. As a mechanic with lots of welding experience, I have some knowledge of how different metals (particularly iron and steel) react to drastic and subtle changes in temperature... and yes, I'm well aware that many of you out there probably are aware of this too... and that most people here likely store their guns, mags and ammo in temp/humidity controlled safes/rooms. For those who don't... Most homes hold stable temperatures year round for decades at a time (heating and air conditioning), so if you store your guns and mags in your home, they likely won't see any temp cycling or humidity cycling and are less likely to suffer damage from that. However, if you store them in a basement, cellar, garage, barn etc... where the year round temp is allowed to fluctuate with changing weather, your guns and mags are more likely to suffer damage due to temp cycling... whether loaded to the brim, cocked and ready, or completely empty and action closed with the hammer down/striker released. Of course, this is only one factor in the equation... metallurgy of the springs, temper of the springs, quality of manufacturing, length of storage time, etc... can be as much of a factor in whether springs go bad or stay good over time. Either way, Paul's advice (loosely given here, but understood by most of us, I'm sure) to swap out mags/ammo and actually SHOOT the guns occasionally, is still the best way to prevent spring "fatigue", but also make sure you store your guns, mags and ammo in places where temp and humidity stay as stable as possible.

When you talk to a "scientist" that claims to know about this, they always say there is no such thing as spring fatigue, yet I've seen both sides of this. Currently, I have a test running on some Magpul mags, been running it for 3 years now, test will run for 5 years at least, and have not seen any change. The mags are all from the same batch, loaded with 0,5,10,15,20,25,28, and 30 rounds. I'm guessing the real answer is, buy good gear, get good results, buy crap, get crap results.

That question is so vague. It's like asking if a firearm can take a deer at 500 yards. There are so many variables to consider, like what kind of metal is the spring, how thick is it, did it receive any kind of heat treating, what method of coiling was used, how many times has it already undergone compression, what are the storage conditions, etc? Also, what degree of entropy do you consider to be damage? It's not so much a matter of does spring compression damage a spring, but rather to what extent can your spring withstand sustained compression before natural entropy causes it to fail? One of the core rules to remember in engineering is everything has a failure point, so it's not a question of if it'll fail, but when it'll fail. So like anything, springs will eventually fail, compressed or not. For quality magazines, your decision to keep it loaded vs unloaded needs to be based on what you need the mag for. Is it a mag for your home defense gun or EDC gun? Then definitely keep it loaded, because an assailant isn't gonna stand around and wait for you to load your precious mags. Are the mags for prepper purposes such as SHTF or CoWC? Then keep them unloaded. Any material that is under heightened stress WILL incur entropy faster than when under low stress. This is an undeniable truth of engineering. Just look at the floorboards of a house where heavy appliances or furniture sits for years, even decades, compared to the open walkways. You will clearly see warping in the floorboards, and that is actually a form of spring compression damage. Yes, metal is tougher, but that just means the damage incurs over a greater time. Personally, I keep a few mags loaded at all times, and the rest are empties to replace the loaded ones when they eventually fail, or wear to the point failure is likely. I expect the mags - and even the parts in my guns to eventually fail, even with proper care and maintenance. That's why any serious shooter should have spare parts on hand if they want to be prepared for a scenario where parts become increasingly difficult to procure. I've been buying up mags and parts for my Astra A-100 for this very reason, because Astra no longer exists as a company; they haven't manufactured parts since their last factory closed in I think 2006 (they went bankrupt in 1998). I really, really, REALLY like my A-100, so to keep it going, I need replacement parts on hand, as eventually they will all be bought up and too expensive for me to keep it running. Fortunately, it's a rugged all steel pistol, so it'll likely still be operational long after I'm dead. Still, you need to remember nothing is indestructible, and if it were, you wouldn't be able to machine it into usable parts.

I'm a mechanical engineer, and I'm not a materials scientist. However, it is my understanding that steel is NOT homogeneous, and is not stable at the molecular level. Steel can and does change over time because, even at room temperature, the atoms in the steel are slightly mobile - by which I mean that inside the crystal matrix (steel is composed of lots of tiny crystals) individual atoms can and do move around. This phenomenon has actually been "photographed", so to speak, with a scanning electron microscope, and I've seen the series of images in which a hole or vacancy in the crystal lattice moves around over the course of several minutes. Really it's the atoms that move, and you can tell they're moving because the hole moves. So, when people say that a spring, loaded below its yield strength should never "creep" I say that's only true of an idealized material - and steel is not ideal.

I'm not a spring chicken nor over the hill. I'm 55 and have been shooting guns and hunting since I was about 12 years old, when my grandpa started teaching me how to do both, along with strong instruction on gun safety. I might know more about the above mentioned topics than someone half my age (But, I might not either). The point is, I haven't shot, read about and studied, or seen every firearm there is, though there have been many I have.The point is, I almost always take away something I didn't know from most of your videos. No matter how old you are there is always something new you can learn. I think a lot of people forget that. It's like my stepson and I, he likes the newer guns mainly semi-auto pistols, ARs,etc,. where as I prefer the older more traditional types of guns such as the bolt actions, lever guns, revolvers, single shots and blackpowder rifles and revolvers. I do own a few semi-autos but am far from being an expert on those. Now that I'm done with the boring part (Talking) as you would say. I just want to say keep the videos coming. I usually glean a bit of knowledge from each of your videos. I'm not an expert but that is my opinion and I do try learning this stuff at home. Sorry for the poor attempt at humor.

I have a brother-in-law who bought quite a few guns many years ago. Some of them he bought in the early 1990s. And most of them have never been fired!!. One of them is a beautiful Ruger 10/22 with a match-grade barrel on it that he bought in 1991. He showed it to me here just recently. It's never been fired!

Wow. Nylon 66. I remember when my brother bought one from the Sear's catalog in the late 60's early 70s and it was delivered via USPS to the house.

Had to be a little earlier than that. The Gun Control Act of 1968 put an end to non-in-person sales. Lee Harvey Oswald's purchase of his rifle through the mail in '63 alarmed some people, but it took the shootings of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King in '68 to tip the scales.

Fantastic video. I bought a Glock 17 an have had it loaded since 1993. My first pistol purchase, back when u could buy a pistol at age 18 in CT. The last year. I am now 45 an those mags still work fine. Don't get me wrong I have bought many more since an keep the new one in my gun. Not that I carry that gun anymore. Any way I personally love your boring video's as you call them because I'm a boring guy, it works out. Thanks again.

This is a question about metallurgy than anything else. Type of alloy and quality of the spring steel etc.

80% of people don't understand that there there 400+ different types of steel that are commercialy available...and thousands of different levels to harden, anneal and temper each one of those types most just know "cheap and "quality" that's all the mental effort they put into it

Certainly. Every spring will fail, wether compressed or not. The question is, how long before it fails? Not having a loaded gun and full magazines because you fear spring failure is just dumb in my opinion. Springs can be replaced and if a failed spring means the last round or two won't feed, yeah, I can live with that.

My water heater is a 1952, and I have not drained it in 25 years. I have never even ran out of hot water. In 1996 my grandfather died I got a Enfield No.1 MK III that had been hanging on the wall since my dad went to Vietnam. I didn't do anything with it for years. I had other Enfields. One time I was cleaning everything I had I got it out, It was loaded it had been loaded for over 30 years. Magizine works fine. On another Enfield No. 1 Mk III three aftermarket Pro Mags all went bad leaving loaded over a summer. I agree with Paul it depends.

Great talk. Seems we need an engineer to weigh in on the subject. I suspect there are a few factors to consider, such as the type of metal the spring is made out of, how many cycles the spring has gone through, whether or not the spring is fully or partially compressed, etc.
