No, actually a friend who has a lot more knowledge about guns than I do said that.

Have your friend read this.

Or the other 100s that are out there on the subject... or he can look up how a spring works..

Your friend has knowledge in guns but not in physics :/ can't collapse a spring by compressing it the way the mag was designed to be used

You and chevellenut71 are right. I'll not worry about the spring compression. If anything, the cycling of loading and unloading may be more of a consideration than anything, but most likely not in my lifetime. Thanks for the heads up.
