Maximum time to leave cocked

[TB-Stalker]

Just wondering, when I skirmish, I usually cock my pistol then holster it so it will fire straight away when removed, I was just wondering if this was bad for the pistol and if there is a recommended maximum time you should leave your gun cocked for.

not for longer times then 3 hours as will wear the springs and hammer tension down

Thanks mate, should be fine then.

Uncocked puts pressure on the weak part of the impact hammer (well does for glocks anyway).

So I don't think it really makes any major difference!

Disassemble the whole trigger assembley between games, then no worries and no stress/ strain on any parts :D

As with AEG springs, leaving a spring compressed for a while, wont hurt it as much as the compression decompression cycles it gets put through when in use. Don't worry about it.
