Dry fire in a dedicated training space void of all live ammo. Dry fire with a backstop that can sustain the impact of the bullet and not allow it to strike someone or something you are not willing to destroy. If you are using a snap caps dummy rounds etc.
Kentos Wiped out at 25 Moderator. I am at the point that before pulling the trigger I just gotta press check the thing to double check for an empty chamber. Good idea to have a dry fire mag. Maybe even take out the internals to make absolutly sure.

Brian Zins bullseye shooter recommended setting the hammer by racking the slide so things wear consistently. For him and others developing consistent trigger pull will dry fire many more times than practicing with ammo. Most of my dry fire I'm seated, without a target just focusing on the trigger pull and break, racking between pulls.
Tom H-B. Dry firing can damage the pin. The is a delayed blow back not gas operated. Any gun will have to be cocked to dry fire except a revolver or some striker fired that have repete fire capability.
Snap caps are a spring loaded brass primer that takes the energy of the pin. Some guns are said to not hurt dry firing but most people will not. The older Smiths with the FP pinned in the hammer are the ones that can be damaged. However if something breaks during dry firing it likely means a defective part. Dry fire away after double and triple checking to make sure it is unloaded and has no round in the chamber! When I first stated shooting many,many years ago an Instructor friend of mine would load my mags and randomly put in snap caps and no tell me and you would be amazed how much I flinched on firing, took me quite awhile and lots rounds down range to break myself of flinching.
Jnatcat said:. A great drill to eliminate flinching as well as practicing immediate action to clear a malfunction. Buy the solid orange plastic dummy rounds for this, cheaper than spring loaded snap caps. You must log in or register to reply here. Similar threads M. Latest project.

Sep 10, jkingrph. I have went to low mounts and that even makes getting a grip harder. I rack the slide most times with the scope on the I would like a slide racker for the Marvel.
There are some great examples in this thread of why wedge fitting a barrel lockup is not desirable. I once looked at a Les Baer gun in a gun store, and neither I nor the salesman could cycle it by hand.

Racking the slide resets everything as if a round had been fired. According to some experts just cocking the hammer can do some slight damage to the works. I do know that for a consistent dry fire feel, racking slide while holding the trigger in results in a better outcome.
Makes sense to me Fotomaniac Posts : Join date : Location : Philadelphia. You will destroy a good trigger job faster than anything by repeatedly cocking the hammer with your thumb I don't care how careful you might be you are putting sideways pressure on the hammer. Even the tightest of all guns will have some play in the pins and will allow some hammer misalignment with the sear when pushed to the side.
Using the slide will help avoid this. That being the case, how does one dry-fire a revolver? Amati Posts : Join date : Seems to me that one of the professional gun builders is the person to provide feedback here.
At least one of them feels that cocking the hammer for dry firing causes no damage to the trigger job. You're also wearing the slide fit, even though it's not by much. Something to think about, when is there the most pressure between the various trigger parts? I know it's a different type of gun, but if you shoot a revolver in single action, you don't have any choice other than to cock the hammer by hand each time, dry firing or otherwise.
I was once told by a famous gunsmith to use the following technique: 1 after the dry fire shot keep pulling the trigger; 2 cock the hammer with the thumb and keep the pressure on the hammer; 3 release the trigger; 4 gently release the hammer so that hooks rest on the sear.
But then many people told me to never do that and just rack the slide - which is what I do now. The reason to cycle the slide is that way the trigger and hammer reset as if the gun was being shot.
Another reason is that if the thumb slips off the hammer, the hammer is stopped by the safety notch on the hammer and who knows what that does to your sear surfaces. Wobbley Posts : Join date : Too much work. I just cock the hammer and go. I dry fire almost everyday. Been doing it with my Baers for several years. If i'm ruining the trigger parts, I can't tell. So, let me see if I understand the proper sequence of events. JNW1 Posts : 87 Join date : I hold trigger back then rack, release trigger, dry fire, hold trigger back , rack back.
Same sequence as if firing. A bullseye shooter actually doing damage to a by dry firing it BEA Posts : 84 Join date :
