I don't like Mouse Guns. I prefer to hunt big Rats.
Here's where keeping rounds don't make a difference of whether it's one week or 100 years.

If I expect trouble I prefer my Glock 21 or 19.
Metallurgy has advanced greatly since those times. That was close to 50 years ago."Pretty sure those vietnam springs are much different than the ones we have now."
Wow! Like the VN war was sometime in the dark ages, maybe before the invention of guns!

You mean you don't have one already? You're about ten years behind the curve!advice to all us LCP wannabe buyers about what it's really like to own one
I have been carrying only 5 of a possible 6 rounds in my Ruger LCP and Kahr CW 380 pocket pistol magazines as I felt it would preserve the spring tension better and be more reliable. I do rotate magazines with fresh ammo every 3-4 months, and have extra mags for both guns.
The Vietnam guys used to run a round or two less in their M-16s for reliability, and have read of other guns like that, so have adopted this policy. Been looking to boost the firepower output as I kinda feel naked with only 5 rounds late at night, similar to the S/W J frame .38 special snub-nose that I sold off due to limited ammo capability.
Would I be OK for the 6th round in the magazine? These are modern guns and comparing them to something from the 1960's may not be relevant.
With one in the pipe, that's still 4-5 rounds left with a .380, more than enough according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
