asmurff Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I have 2 places in my home where the magnetic holders for pistols would work great for me. I've been reluctant to buy them because I wasn't sure if it would over time magnetize the pistol. Anyone know for sure one way or the other if this will or will not happen?I use to magnetize screwdrivers by leaving them in my magnetic nut and bolt holder for a time.

Microgunner Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I'm pretty sure that ferrous metals, including those used in firearms, take on a magnetic charge when held in contact with a magnet for enough time.Whether or not this will have an adverse effect on your handguns' performance is unknown to me.For me though, I wouldn't do it.

techmike Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I have been wanting to get one for my HD shotgun. As long as the magnet is coated so it wouldn't scratch the gun's finish is all I really worry about. I guess if you were shooting steel cased ammo, there might be an issue. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
