I stopped watching a couple minutes in after the guy pointed the gun at his other hand the third or fourth time. No eye pro?
There is nothing but wrong ways to learn from this vid.
Who is this guy?
Paul Harrell??
He is one of the best of YouTube. I'm sure you must be a master of guns and safety bwframe. I've never had a ND/AD...have you?

Churchmouse, how long do you keep a round chambered? Days, weeks, years? Do you ever rotate the rounds in your magazines? Do you worry about the striker / magazine springs. Although it’s thought its compression / decompression that wear out springs the most, it’s now known that constant compression still weakens springs.

My apologies if you are offended. That was not my intention.
The gent in the vid may or may not be a YouTube sensation, but he is not following common safety practices. The Four Rules of firearms safety being the utmost.

Eye protection is a requirement of every shooting range I am familiar with.
Again, sorry. Just my ...
I have been a proponent of cycling mags on a regular basis. When I 1st joined Ingo I was Boo-Hoooed for this thinking as some of the old guard believed it was cycling that wore out the springs.
I have been blessed to be involved in and known some really sharp people in and around the racing world. Top engine builders would remove the valve train from the heads when an engine was to be static for a long period.That was to keep the springs out of compression. Steel develops a memory.
As to rounds chambered. I remove and clean my EDC regularly. I do not re-chamber the same round. As I cycle my EDC's (all 1911's) the mags involved are rotated as well.
Wtf
who has the spare time to study the effect of magazine springs?
Do what everyone else does rotate your magazines at whatever intervals you think are appropriate!
The length of a magazine spring has zero to do if the sucker still worked ?
So really this dude had like $500.00 in magazines tied up for a “test” that anybody that actually uses a firearm on regular basis could have told him?
Pure Genius
btw cm doesn’t know about striker firearms don’t reply with any capital letters if we keep it all lower case cm can’t hear us!

Instead of worrying about spring compression or spring creep, or whatever the hell is going on here. They need to worry about training and practice.
And I'll add, if you carry with an empty chamber you are an idiot. And you are chancing the odds to become a dead idiot.
