Dry firing a .22

[Cryptic]

Use snaps or spents at the range when packing away their rugers.
I have 2 sets of 38special snaps for my GP but they are mainly just for speedloader training I dont really bother for dryfire with it.
Will probably get a set of 9mm for the HK for bit of speed training.

I'm ignorant either way so I just err on the safe side don't dry fire at all. There's an old ruger MK II at the pistol club that doesn't lock back on the last round and on the occasion I forget to count the rounds and I hear that dreaded 'click' on an empty chamber, I feel that pain in my soul lol.

Have wondered at times about that, some say you can some say not at all. Then I think how many times has a gun that manual says do not dry fire been dry fired in a shop before you buy it.

you would have to be a special type of arrogant to dry fire guns in a shop

I must be arrogant then, I want to know what the trigger is like and the only way to find that out is to try it.

Personally, I'm not really worried about what the trigger feels like in the shop, because one way or the other, it's going to feel much different by the time I finish working on it.
