Yeah that's a good idea. I almost never hold them by the magazine but one of the times I did I blew up my gun. I was laying prone on a frozen pond. I was lucky it was winter, on my off hand I was wearing mechanix gloves underneath a big pair of mittens made from shearling wool, lots of padding. The magazine with 28 rounds in it was totally ruined and my hand felt like I bare hand slapped a brick wall.
