Dry fire poll

[captdave77]

I've dry fired most of my handguns hundreds of times and have never had a problem. It's good practice on trigger control IMO if you can't get down to the range. I always dry fire at the gun store, because if I'm about to spend big money on a weapon I'd like to know what the trigger feels like, if the trigger sucks I'm not buyin it.

I try not to dry fire rifles, but when I was in the Army we did our M4s thousands of times and never had an issue of failure to discharge a live round afterwards.

So I'm in the boat with if I have dry fired my Sig as well as putting around 15000 - 18000 rounds down the barrel without a spring change there not much getting hurt. But it probley due for a check. Just my 2cents.

I would not use the Army model for small arms care. I would never let someone shove a metal cleaning rod down the barrel of my AR and slam the bolt face.

I voted tacos. Ill dry fire anything but my .22s. Never dry fire your .22s. I have bent and broke firing pins to prove its not a good idea. I also use snap caps anyway.

THIS^^^^^^^^^^^

I never dry fire cause there always loaded,and that leads to holes in the walls,and I dont wanna have to hang another dam picture to cover it.

^^ haha! Don't forget, function checks involve dry firing.

Dry firing as training is supported by most trainers.
It should not harm any modern well made center fired handguns. I don't know about rifles, but I doubt it.

Yeh at least 4 double checks are a good idea! Then it's still pointed away from anything you don't want to destroy!

I guess that makes me the dry fire snob since I am the only one that voted. "Dry firing is harmful and I never do it."

It means I would rather buy a gun from a guy like you who babies his firearms.

Just like buying a used car; I would rather buy from the guy who babied his ride, kept it clean and has all the maintenance records.
