because I have multiple guns at the ready, I actually keep others secured for safety reasons.

because of this, I use what I would describe as a magwell or a slide lock for guns that I know I won't be needing for a while. (long U shaped pad lock with key)

I stick one of these through the ejector and out the bottom of the mag well, locking at the bottom of the magwell.

so for being that the slide is locked back some times two three days out a time, can this cause damage to any part of the slide/gun for any reason?
