is it bad to store a handgun with the slide locked open? does

Yes, for the same reason you have to replace the springs on your car suspension every year.

It's bad because it takes up more space and is more open to dust.

It lets shit get into the action theoretically but other than that, no.

Springs only wear out from repeated compression/extension cycles. You can't wear out a spring from keeping it in one position.

You replace your suspension every year? Wtf do you drive?

>does it wear out the spring or any other components?
nope. Springs wear out from movement and overextension but not from simply holding.

>>31118626
You don't?

My garage came with a hoist, but it was for a different vehicle. Pain in the ass to switch those things out.
