Ok, I know I should know this, but I can't remember where I read the answer before and now, I'm not sure. I have an XDm9 that's still fairly new with less than a thousand rounds through it. It's a home/truck defense gun that I keep handy with the magazine fully loaded (I have no little kids around). There is so much pressure when I seat it in the grip, I have to smack it. To release it, while still fully loaded, I have to apply pressure again to the end of the mag while pressing the mag release.
So, here's the question; Will leaving the mag inserted for long periods cause any problem with that pressure all the time? Like harm the gun in any way or deform shell casings? I know if I take a couple bullets out, it relieves it, but then I have two less bullets in case of zombies.
What is the opinion of you learned gurus on this?
