Any reports on leaving factory Glock magazines loaded for long periods of time? Do they eventually have feed-lip spreading problems like some all polymer AR-15 magazines, or do the metal feed lips of the Glock factory magazines prevent this?

I have never heard of it being a problem to leave them loaded.
As for personal experience, I left a G19 mag fully loaded for almost 2 years. It shot flawlessly when I took it to the range.

I've been carrying a Glock 17 for nearly two years now, and I keep several loaded all the time (fully topped off), only occasionally emptying them by shooting them out at the range. All work great. I asked my nephew about this (he's a Phoenix cop), and he says this is standard procedure (they all carry Glock 22s and 23s), and he's never heard of a problem either.

Factory Glock magazines have internal metal liners including the feed lips. No problem leaving them loaded.

Not a problem with Glock Mags.

I've been off the job now for 2 years. Haven't carried a Glock 45 in 4 years, but found a stash of G21 and G 30 magazines in my ammo locker, all loaded. I'll have to go.olay with them

I have G17 mags that have been loaded over 15 years with no problem yet.
