According to the various "studies" * conducted on magazine springs:
Compression doesn't ruin springs, repeated compression ruins them.**
Having the slide locked back is just stupid, not bad for the springs.
* Endless threads on every gun board about this exact topic. Google that shit.
** Assuming they're good quality springs designed for the task. YMMV. METT-TC.
...
If I get the time, I'll summarize the points from these "studies" and post.

Also: Have I mentioned how much I dislike this type of device? Yeaaah.
Plus the pockets on jeans are awful as far as easy access when seated, etc.
I would never concealed carry a pocket holster in jeans. That's totally suicide.
Let that pistol roll in your pocket and try to draw. Kinda defeats the purpose.
If the device isn't supporting the gun vertically with retention, it's not a holster.
