Friends,

I maintain a Kimber 1911 in my vehicle as opposed to personal carry. While the weapon is fully loaded, I do not maintain it "cocked" but it does not have the safety on as I thought that unnecessary.

I am primarily a shotgun fan and always release the triggers springs when storing the weapon, even for the night.

Q: Does keeping the hammer on a 1911 cocked negatively impact the springs?

Thanks,
Dennis
