I've been at school for the past 4 months so I havent been OC except when I come home. Now that I'm home for the summer, my pistol will be loaded 24/7. I only have the two factory mags right now. When I carry I only carry one mag because I dont have a way to carry the other. To make them last longer I figure I would switch out magazines each week. Is this a sound plan to lessen the wear on the springs?
I was thinking of how I would mark each magazine so I wouldn't mix them up and have decided to paint the bottom of one and keep the other black (black on black will look nicer if I have to wear a shirt and tie w/ slacks). So.... what color should I paint the one magazine? So far I like Satin Khacki, Satin Brown Boots( http://www.krylon.com/products/fusion_for_plastic/ ), or Olive (http://www.krylon.com/products/camouflage_paint_with_fusion_technology/ ) I've had good luck with Krylon for other plastics so I'm going to use that again unless someone has a better suggestion.
