Yeah. It's a serious. But just make sure it is safely unloaded and not a rimfire.
but you should not dry fire any rimfire guns like .22.
Unless the manual says you can.... for example, Ruger MK III, 22/45, and Ruger 10/22....
Rimfires are a no no unless designed for dry fire. An outfit called Taccom makes a firing pin for the Atchisson/Ciener styled AR rimfire conversions that can be shimmed (shims supplied) to prevent contact with the breech face thus allowing dry fire. I love mine. I have heard that dry firing is bad for Glocks but don't understand why. I have dry fired my Glocks (22 and 24L) thousands of times with no problems.
CAN I DRY FIRE MY TAURUS? |
Yes, except for the .22 caliber pistols which includes models 94 and 941. .22 caliber revolvers such as models 94 and 941 also should not be dry fired. So i think those few times should be no big deal either way. |
all ways snap caps.
DRY FIRINGGoing through the actions of cocking, aiming and pulling the trigger on anunloaded gun is known as “dry firing.” It can be useful to learn the “feel” of yourpistol. Be certain that the pistol is fully unloaded (both the chamber andmagazine are empty) and that the pistol is pointing in a safe direction even whenyou are practicing dry firing. The RUGER® SR-SERIES pistols can be dryfiredwithout damage to the striker or other components as long as an emptymagazine is inserted.
CAUTION: Dry firing your RUGER® SR-SERIES with the magazineremoved may result in damage or unnecessary wear to the magazine disconnectmechanism and/or striker.
NOTE: Extensively dry firing can accelerate componentwear/stress. Use snap caps if dry firing on a regularbasis.
