Well I tried #1 by accident before trading off the mags, 2 days ago when I bought the gun I filled the mags with 30 rounds each and tried to fit a 31st with no luck on both of them and I left them full. I found out today not to fill the mags and let them sit because you will weaken the spring in them. I am going to try and find a few used mags locally and see what I come up with. Also how much would you say a stiffer return spring would set me back?
