Do what ever makes you feel comfortable.

I've answered this numerous times before, but here's the answer again.
Loading magazines to intended capacity and leaving them that way does not weaken or damage the magazine spring as long as the spring was designed to handle the capacity of the magazine.

What weakens springs is overloading of a springs intended use and the continuous loading and unloading of the spring in normal use.

What Bob said..

I've left magazines in guns for years and decided to take them out to range and swap the ammo it's been carrying without a problem whatsoever.

As of now, in my safe. The following are loaded to capacity with one in the chamber. So they're at +1

SIG P220 and P226

Glock 21 and Glock 17

My Glock 19 is one me right now and also to capacity with +1
