Cable lock and storage

[Employee3]

I have a USPc 9mm that has a cable lock. Should I store it with the slide all the way back or do I release the slide and let it "pinch" the cable lock?

Thanks for answering this "noobs" question :)

I was told by the FFL that sold me my first pistol to let the slide foreward and "pinch" the cable.

He said it would stress the recoil spring less that way.
