Dry Firing
Why can some guns be dry-fired and others not? How do you tell which ones can?

I have talk to people that tell me two different stories about dry firing a gun. So say no big deal others tell me to get those mock shells to use so that the pin is hitting something what is your advice 0 -
Don't dry fire, not no way, not no how!
So many guns to buy. So little money.0 -
I do a *lot* of dry firing but (almost as big a but as my butt) I **always** use snap caps. Or, more accurately, I have always used snap caps since I snapped off a firing pin on one firearm. 0 -
Oddly enough, the Kimber manual says NOT to let the hammer down slow. It says instead to dry fire. Any opinions on this? KimberKid? Also another split opinion is to whether dropping the slide without a round in the mag is harmful. I say, don't do either, just to be safe.-Marcus 0 -
Put a snap cap in it and go to town. I agree, don't "dry fire" it.
Save, research, then buy the best.Join the NRA, NOW!Teach them young, teach them safe, teach them forever, but most of all, teach them to VOTE!0 -
My Keltecs have been dry fired about a zillion times without any ill effects.If it bothers your friend tell him to invest in a package of snap caps.

I agree with (hopefully) Dr. SaxonPig and Iconoclast. In the last case if he is not at least a 3xL he ain't in my leage as far as butts go. 0 -
If the manual says don't, uhh, don't. Other guns, such as the Glock says you may(these are fewer than the dont's, most are don't dry fire). A snap cap removes doubt.Andy 0 -
