Back in the 1970s I gave my girlfriend/wife a Dan Wesson 357 with 2" barrel and combat grips, she carried it in a purse/handbag just larger than the revolver.
As far as using it, I have a good story, but lets say it will shoot through a small purse with out pulling it.

I recently had real trouble passing on a Dan Wesson with the six barrel sizes package in 44 Mag. Fun money just wasn’t there.

It causes a change to spring tension/ memory when left compressed for long periods.

I dare say most gun owners have no appreciation for this until it starts having problems and new Springs are installed...Don't believe it? throw a new Spring into a Garand or 1911 while the customer is standing there and they'll know right away the difference. (sometimes they don't need new springs, but a good many do)

You can retain the springs by restretching and realizing the importance of rotating mags to let them reset.

I often have to show/demonstrate it by disassembling theirs then showing them the spring length of a factory one.

Occasionally I'll restretch a Spring, but if new ones are available I just replace them...I bought a bis assortment pack containing spring steel sticks of various diameters; you'll screw up a lot of them before you learn to make one right.
