I know this sounds like an oddball question, but I am curious and have not found much on the web about this.
My house gun is currently a revolver. I am thinking of replacing it with one of my striker-fired semi-autos. The odds are that it will sit in its appointed spot indefinitely without me having to use it. I will take it to the range at least once a year to fire it and "qualify" myself, but otherwise it will be sitting cocked and loaded, undisturbed.
My question: Do I need to unload it and cycle it at any regular intervals, so ensure that none of the springs take a set and reduce reliability?
Or can it be left alone for an indefinite period without impacting reliability?
Thanks
