I keep a revolver on my bedside table. Loaded and ready to go.

I would change the springs in a revolver every month. Just to be safe.

If you fire your bedside gun every two weeks, you know if the springs need to be replaced. Therefore, I say keep it loaded and ready to go.

It is going to be up to you on how you feel about it. I have a SIG 239-40 I use now, it is decocked with one in the chamber.

I switch out magazines every time I go shoot. Only had 2 for the first 12 years so I wanted to make them last. Unless my glock is in it's holster I don't keep a round in the chamber. If you feel comfortable picking up a cocked and locked weapon in total darkness than that is your choice.

I change mine every time I buy gas.

I currently keep a full mag next to the gun, with slide open. Since my springs are in no danger, I'll continue to do so. Thanks for dispelling some of the rumors for me.
