Sagging magazine springs are from experience. I took my old Springfield Armory model 1911 out after it had sat fully loaded for a year. First three rounds worked fine, the fourth was never chambered. Did the same thing with a Beretta 92, and it stopped after 7 rounds. I have friends who have tried this with other versions of the same weapons, and with Sigs and Glocks, without this problem. Granted, I purchased both weapons used, and after replacing the magazine springs had no further issues.

This was not a particularly scientific test. It was just to see how the guns would operate "as is" before I cleaned them. On the other hand, I did this with a S&W .38 I inherited. It had been in its case for 11 years. After a careful inspection, I took it out to the range with the 5 rounds that had been in there all that time - and it worked.
