A magazine that holds 9, and contains 9, will have its spring "sack" and fail to feed sooner than a magazine that holds 9, and contains 8.

Technically, a magazine is the part of the gun which holds the ammo. Rifles indisputably use clips to feed the magazine, because the magazine is integral to the firearm and can be loaded by hand. Some call the detachable part that holds ammo in a pistol a clip because it's not an integral part of the gun, while others call it a magazine because it holds the ammo.

"A semi-auto takes ammunition from a spring-loaded clip that may lose strength when compressed for a very long time, which could cause the gun to jam." A semiauto takes ammunition from a spring loaded magazine. It's been proven over and over that leaving the magazine loaded for even as long as twenty plus years does nothing to reduce the reliability of the magazine. Other than those two common errors its a very good primer.
