I have at least 6 mags for all my guns. This is what I do.
Use two for home defense. Use two exclusively for the range. Use the last two exclusively as backup. This way, you're not putting any extra wear on the mags you may depend on to save your life, you have dedicated mags to beat on at the range, and more solely for backup in case any fail.Comment

I would, provided that you can guarantee me that feed lips on magazines will never crack or split over time with use.
People need to start realizing that magazines are a disposable component. They are like air filters, oil filters, or brakes, which need to be regularly maintained and then replaced sooner or later. In the grand scheme of things, $15-$30 here and there over the lifetime of a firearm really isn't that big of a deal.Comment

I have magazines that are older than me that are perfectly serviceable and get regular use. I can see polymer magazines needing to be replaced on occasion but steel magazines will last forever if properly maintained.

I've seen the exact opposite, especially with 1911 mags. Left loaded for too long, the feed lips spread far enough apart to cause malfunctions. They were perfectly serviceable and well maintained apart from the single fact of being left loaded.Comment

Yes they do, just very slowly. Material Creep
Yes do this, of course it means actually running all those hundreds of loaded mags
Again, constant stress on feed lips = creep
I doubt forever but longer than a polymer mag. I think magpul says something like a 10,000 round count life span per P-MAG.
Yeah, 1911 mags have very poor feed lip design for leaving loaded all the time. Too shallow of an angle, and they are cantilevered way out thereOriginally posted by kcbrownI'm most famous for my positive mental attitude.

So many mags that their total mass exceeds the Chandrasekhar limit is too many.

I can see it being a problem if you have more mags than ammo.....
Other than that, an unloaded magazine is no good to anyone. Better to be prepared.Comment

I keep as many as I can carry loaded at all times with dust covers on. Pistol mags get -1 full capacity to save stress on feed lipsGreater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friendsComment
