Storing Pmags - full, empty or partial

[squarebob]

As the title says, how should I store my Pmags? Currently I have them partially stuffed with 20 rounds. Will this effect the lips over time?

They are ruined if you have left them over half full for over a day.. Send them to me full and I send you some new empty ones still in the wrapper. JK I would put the dust cover on them to the lips in like new shape.

This topic has been beaten to death all over the internet. I don't feel like typing up what I found but google search something along the lines of keeping magazines loaded and you will get your answer or a good idea and you make a decision. I personally keep 5 loaded and unload them every 3 or so months and rotate. But I have also read of people keeping mags loaded for 10-20 years without a problem. Its the loading and unloading that wears on the spring, not so much by keeping them loaded.

With nothing inside, they're nothing more than terribly expensive pieces of plastic?

I dont recommend talking badly about the Pmag. Pmag All Mighty and his followers, dont take kindly to slander.
