  Safe to dry fire with one caveat; use a snap cap to protect the firing pin/hammer.
  I personally would not subject any 210 to repeated dry firing due to the acquisition cost and possible damage to a collectible.
  
  If you know it all; you must have been listening.WEAR EAR PROTECTION!

  My Recommendation.....NEVER Dry Fire a Firearm...If You have to pull the trigger on something...then Buy a Cap Pistol and have at it!
  Like the Man said...SNAP CAPS will protect the Fireing Pin for awhile...But even they have a limited life......

  This is from sigarms.com FAQ page.
  quote:Can I dry fire a gun?
  All SIGARMS pistols can be dry fired as is, with the exception of the Hammerli Trailside, which requires the provided dry fire plug (needed to prevent damage to the firing pin).
  
  Should I use a snap cap to dry fire my pistol?
  You can dry fire any SIGARMS weapon (except the Trailside). It's OK to use a snap cap if you're going to do extended dry firing.
