Dry Fire...

I work in gun store I could care less if you pull the trigger after I have cleared it before handing it to you and you have cleared it yourself. But.... People who grab a nice revolver and start snapping it drives me nuts whether its good or not I don't care just stop pulling the freaking trigger..... Sorry almost lost it.
Dry fire practice is free. My comp gun has been dry-fired at least 100,000 times. Still the same 1.75lb trigger she came with and never a single misfire.
well if you find the right gun shop - you wont be buying the one in the case - those in the case are just for display - thet are there so people can handle them - as long as you dont drop it on the floor they could care less how many times you pull it - then if you decide to purchase that model they get one from there stock room and start the right up - unless it used of course then you get what you get - they shouldnt care if you break it down and look it over before you buy it - your the customer - if they want your business and care about you - then they should say " sure go ahead look it over " - new is new - used is used - i hate when someone is looking over a gun out of the case - even though the employee of the store has cleared it - the customer just pics it up and starts pointing it all over the place like there taking pot shots - dry fire party - hope they didnt drop one in - drives me crazy - lol

I personally would rather have the one that's been fondled as long as there is no visible damage. Maybe I'm just weird but mags are mags they drop, get stepped on, get tossed around, and dropped into mud/water puddles or whatever else is on the course. Seems a little excessive to cry about one magazine hitting the floor. They are replaceable. And dry firing is perfectly safe with any modern center fire weapon. If it were a collector piece I wouldn't make a habit of it. But if its a duty/CCW I would recommend a couple hundred dry fires per day. Just clear the weapon first.
I agree with Lockout. Many times it's an unloaded firearm that shoots someone.
Store owners never know about some folks. Many may allow a dry fire after they make sure it's clear, but don't want every s/d that walks in their shop doing it.

Thats what I was thinking
If a gun can be hurt by normal hands on use in the store before being sold, then I doubt I could depend on it in a crisis situation anyway. No queens in my safe.
I've stepped on mine in IDPA matches....
That's a lie, you don't have to do mag changes in duck and cover
