Fri, 05 Dec 2014 22:18:31 +0000 http://www.isegoria.net/?p=36819#comment-1929571 The question is: Does one need those snap cap things or is it OK to dry fire on an empty chamber without damaging the firing pin assembly? Some pistols are certainly ok, most if not all revolvers for instance. The Rhodesians were probably using Browning Hi Powers. I’d be interested if anyone has anything to say.

I’m a believer in using dry firing to develop trigger and sight-picture control, but I’ve only done it with various revolvers. Is it safe to do with autos?
