9mm Snap Caps - Avoid Dry Firing - Sigma SW9VE - Dummy Bullets

[AZNMar1ne]

I mean GunsmithUSA

[AZNMar1ne]

Just look up Sigma trigger fix and you can change it to about a 4-6 lb pull instead of 8-12 lb pull. Make sure you watch GunsmithingUSA video because thats the most simple video.

[MrMastermakerman]

(Puts wrong bullet in) oh god

[1b4dsrt]

1. This gun requires you to dry fire it to be cleaned.

2. Its striker fired action.

3. S&W website says its ok to dry fire.

[therealjarett]

You can dry fire Smith and Wesson pistols just fine, except for .22 caliber pistols. It is listed on their website

[therealjarett]

From Smith & Wesson's website:

Can I dry fire my S&W handgun?

Q: Can I dry fire my Smith & Wesson?

A: Yes, except for the .22 caliber pistols

Q: Why can't I dry fire my .22 pistol or revolver?

A: Dry firing a S&W .22 pistol or revolver will cause damage to the firing pin.

[cbr6864]

As with most modern pistols you could dry fire it from sun rise to sun set with no problems

[bigtank1982]

Wow, you should not feed into the top of the chamber. Could cause damage to the extractor. 

[JAAairsoft]

...did you just catch that snap cap?

[docorange6]

@JAAairsoft twice.

[nanashi1o3]

is there any video or proof that dry firing really does damage the the pin?

[AdrenalineTheory]

@nanashi1o3 Its pretty well known that dry firing can damage the pin on a lot of guns so theres really no point in a video proving it.

[nanashi1o3]

@nanashi1o3 i guess but i still would have liked to seen a vid showing how it gets damaged or what not

[isamtator]

I just use empty shells.

[tannerivy]

@isamtator..i own this gun in .40 and have always wondered and never asked but isn't using an empty shell the same as a snap cap? ive just avoided dry fire but it would be nice to get this trigger down. either way, for the price and capacity, its an excellent pistol if you can get practice in.

[isamtator]

@tannerivy Yes it is, if you have your own firing range, like I do just collect your brass, and if you're lucky you might find a slug or two laying about, my cliff I use is hard and sometime slugs are laying everywhere, you find some that aint to beat up, grab em and if you got a buddy that has the dyes you can get him to make like new and put some filler in the shell and seat the slug but keep the spent primer in it for Christ sake, and you can use them for, chambering and failure drill, free1

[zacharybg17]

just use a few live rounds all it took for me was one clip full to get use to it

[sprkthead2]

No need for snapcaps for sigmas or glocks, they are striker fired. But they are good for ftf practice.

[FearOps]

damn not what i was looking for do you know what the bullets are called that shoot rubber bullets that the military uses for embasys?

[ximowilson]

@FearOps I think they are called rubber bullets...

[TheMolysProject]

Man....what a horrible looonnnnnnnggggggg trigger travel.

[ProxStud]

Snap caps for pin-protection is basically useless with most modern handguns. If the manufacturer says that you can't dry fire, then you should use snap caps. Snap caps for most modern guns are a great tool to mix up with live rounds and practice your failure to fire drills.

It's also a good training tool for watching a friend shoot that claims they are not pulling the trigger. Put a snap cap about 3 rounds deep and see if their hand jerks when the miss fire takes place.

[sryth1]

I'm not sure why anyone would be concerned about damaging the pin on a striker fired pistol, but snap caps are useful for more than pin-protection.

You can mix them with live rounds for FTF practice (at the range!), or you can use them to practice drawing an unchambered weapon (for those that carry unchambered). Clearing drills can be practiced safely at home with caps as well.

[humblehim]

@mrmilleniumproof well like i said, i think it was a freak deal. all my firearms instructors say to do it and these guys are not just some goof balls with instructor certs. they are multi champs in bianchi, ipsc, idpa, and all areas of law enforcement comps. and McEntire will actually give one situation where another instructor Joe Evans actually stumped Glock Mfg by breaking his firing pin by dry fire. the mfg said it would have taken around 5 million dry strikes to eventuall weaken it IF possi

[humblehim]

cont.. ble and his point was that he had actually dry fired it that much to be as good of a marksman. i weigh those group of guy's instruction and info such subjects as fact. so to have everyone of that caliber shooters tell different i have to say you got unlucky!

[humblehim]

@mrmilleniumproof thats really strange, ive dry fired my pistols thousands of times and shot hot loads through them and never had a malfunction or problem. i would go crazy if i couldnt dry fire!

[ndrdd23]

cant wait till im like 21 so i can get a gun a blow up some abandon cars fill it up with c4 and gasoline first nice video

[westcoastsurvival]

@ndrdd23 no offense but you should have a gun lol

[ndrdd23]

@westcoastsurvival lol thanks only three years left theen im gonna raise havoc on any abandon car or thing i see haha i like the little demon kid from problem child haha

[humblehim]

@mrmilleniumproof ..note to self..those two weapons are shit..do not buy them. well i own a glock, xd, and a kimber and it is almost impossible to destroy the firing pin by dry firing and if you actually do dry fire it the 5million (literal) dry shots to do it..the company will replace it..so i guess you equpment is a failure not the training..and i still think it was a freak deal with both of those described. cuz there should not be anything to harm the pin

[humblehim]

@mrmilleniumproof and which weapon did this happen in?

[humblehim]

dummy ammo is a waste of money, dry firing is not harmful to any weapon that is without a fixed firing pin on a hammer..oh and comparing taurus to a colt or glock is like comparing a geo metro to a lambo

[timmy2shoes123]

Nice catch!

[83assasin]

whats dry firing ?

[NC77583]

@83assasin Pulling the trigger with no ammo in the chamber (empty chamber). When you do this, you hear a "click", a dry sound. That's why it's called "dry firing". Hope this helped you. PLEASE ANSWER!!! Thank you.

[NC77583]

There's no problem dry firing this gun, since it's a centerfire weapon. Rimfires are the problem. THE PROBLEM IS you snap the magazine in like that. Why?? THAT is bad for the gun. Push it in nicely, and when it clicks, it's in. Of course, in a stress situation you will snap it it, but other than that, don't do it. PLEASE ANSWER!!! Thank you.

[Tricksalot]

@NC77583 wrong. the empty magazine's follower will go in, hit the closed slide and because of the spring pressure soften the impact. and on a locked back slide, it still doesnt matter because modern metals can handle it.

[NC77583]

@Tricksalot See what you said? "CAN HANDLE IT". Yes, it can handle it, but it's not good for the gun. As I said, in a stress situation you will snap the mag in, but if you don't need to do it, don't do it. Why do you think Hickok45 doesn't snap his mags in? I mean, he's an expert, and I'm sure he knows what he's doing, and did you ever see him snaping it in like that? No.

[Tricksalot]

@NC77583 actually i have seen hickok45 do it. and why would a gun manufacturer make a gun that would be damaged by snapping a magazine in? its completely idiotic. contact your gun manufacturer and ask them if it hurts the gun. ill bet you 100 bucks they'll say it doesnt harm it in the slightest.

[NC77583]

@Tricksalot DAMAGED OVER TIME FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!!! OVER FUCKING TIME!!! Ok, so slap it in with all your motherfucking force, ok? Slap it until it doesn't feed anymore. And a gun manufacturer would make a gun that would be damaged by snapping a magazine in because it is NOT supposed to be done (slapping the mag in)!!!

[Tricksalot]

@NC77583 who told you explicitly that slapping a mag in is bad? you think cause you test firearms for one of the shittiest gun companies in the world you're an expert? guess again bean bandit.

[NC77583]

@Tricksalot A lot of people, including a marchal and a colonel, and I choose to believe in what they say over what you say. No, I don't think I'm an expert, but I do think you're an asshole. Oh, and Taurus is on its way to become the first place on firearms quality and selling. Why do you think Taurus is soo popular in the U.S., where you have Kimbers, Colts, Glocks, etc? Because it's fucking awsome! (and with a super affordable price) If you don't have what to say, don't say shit.

[Tricksalot]

@NC77583 brazilians. with brazilian guns. how the hell would you know taurus guns are so popular in america? you dont because you dont live here. visit any range. any competition. know what you're going to see? glocks, 1911s, S&W M&P's and some others mixed in. taurus has certainly no place in competition, and really shouldnt even be in indoor ranges. they're unreliable cheaply made hunks of junk.

[NC77583]

@Tricksalot How the hell would I know taurus guns are so popular in america? Well, have you heard of a website called YouTube? Yeah, it's very nice, and you can see videos from other countries, ya know? And I spend the hole fucking day watching fucking american videos so shut the fuck up cuz I probably know more about america than you. And you're also an unreliable asshole cheaply made of hunks of junk. As I said, if you don't have what to say, don't say shit.

[Tricksalot]

@NC77583 "As I said, if you don't have what to say, don't say shit." you dont even know how to speak english, how could you possibly know more about my country? dumb brazuca.

[NC77583]

@Tricksalot Ok, I don't know how to speak English. I'm just wondering in what language was I speaking all this time... hum...

[humblehim]

@NC77583 what's a marchal?

[NC77583]

@humblehim It's one of the last military patents.

[humblehim]

@NC77583 oh a "marshal" well im going to assume that the supposed marshal and colonel are the "lots of people" you're getting oppinions from...yeah, for a person that know little about firearms and wants to get a decent pistol for cheap and doesnt plan on using it too much could go out and rightfully choose a Taurus..but for LEO's and military...Glock, Colt, Kimber, S&W, springfields..are the top choices and for good reason. i owned a XD but now have a G21 and a Kimber stainless classic target

[NC77583]

@humblehim 1st: nobody was talking to you, so bother your life. 2nd: I said a lot of people, INCLUDING A MARCHAL AND A COLONEL, so there were other people (that weren't marchals or colonels). 3rd: I go to the local range at least 1 time per week, and fire about 700 shots every time; so I use it too much. 4th: nobody asked you what you have/had. 5th: remember I live in Brazil, and here's not the "gun paradise". Definetly not. A Glock here costs the equivalent to US$4,000.00.

[humblehim]

@NC77583 1st: this is public 2nd: i still dont know what a "marchal" is3rd: if you are shooting 700 rds a week then you soon find out why you will want a quality weapon and not a taurus 4th: i told you what i have because it was an example of quality firearms 5th:if a Glock there is the equivalent to 4000.00 then how do you afford to shoot 2800 rds a month!? and that also means you spent like 1500 on a taurus!? are you sure you dont shoot 700 air pistol rds a week!? i watched your other videos.

[NC77583]

@humblehim If you still don't know what a marchal is, you're dumb. You can look out on the internet if you still don't get it after I said it was one of the last military patents. I don't have enough money to spend on a Glock, S&W, Sig, and all the quality and precision I need, I have, in a Taurus. My mom is a police agent, so she gets the ammo with a good discount and I shoot it. And my Taurus costed 1700, not 1500. I shoot a lot of pellets too, but inside my ap. And thanks for watching my vids

[humblehim]

@NC77583 if im dumb then your are literate! either you are trying to spell "marshal" or "Marechal" either way your not making sense with "marchal" regaurdless, even if you are getting ammunition at discounted price like i do (because i also am a LEO AND live in america) you still would be paying a TON of money to shoot that many rounds a week! not to say you dont shoot it but you say that you can afford a quality weapon but you are spending hundreds of dollars on ammo a week that was my point

[NC77583]

@humblehim So instead of criticizing me for not speaking your language perfectly (it's not my obligation, but I'm trying), you could try to help me make things clear for the marchal thing (I think you got my point enough to help me). Oh, and if you think I like Brazil and I'm defending it, no. Brazil is a motherfucking piece of shit, I hate Brazil, and that's one of the reasons I wanna get the fuck outta here!!! But for now, I pay a ton on ammo (reloaded shitty ass one).

[humblehim]

@NC77583 i wasnt criticizing you all that much because the term "marechal" is a brazilian term..that is why i posted that. and whats wrong with brazil? from what ive seen all the women are tan, have nice huge asses, and wear thongs on the beach! what could be better!?

[NC77583]

@humblehim But I don't understand.I've seen in a lot of movies and TV programes saying "U.S. marshals","the marshals are after the suspect",etc...Everything you said about Brazil is right,but apparently there's A LOT of stuff you don't know.Trust me: Brazil is disgusting...Makes me sick...If you lived here,you would understand me. And you should thank god you don't live here, and yes on the land of the free,home of the brave. You're probably wondering what's so bad here,not enough space to write

[humblehim]

@NC77583 yes a marshal is like a national or federal sheriff. but here it is spelled with a "marShal" not a "C". thats all. you gotta tell me whats so disgusting about brazil! im in love with brazilian woman so i gotta know

[NC77583]

@humblehim [PART 1] Ok, thanks. About Brazil: it's ok to be in love with brazilian women. AS LONG AS YOU DON'T COME HERE TO LIVE. The best word to describe Brazil is: corruption. Politics here are something to laugh at. Believe me if you want: the elections happened this year here, and guess what: A FUCKING CLOWN WAS ELECTED governor in a northeast state. Literally. And what makes it worse is that you're a LEO, so you're honest and respectable. Here you're not. The police here is so corrupted...

[NC77583]

@humblehim [PART 2] (read part 1 first) The police here is so corrupted and stupid that the population don't like'em, they're afraid of them. You probably know Dilma Rousseff (the actual president). If you do, you probably know she was the main responsible for the kidnapping of the U.S. ambassador in Brazil. She was the leader of a terrorist group as well, and killed people, and assaulted banks, stole, and now she's the fucking president. She doesn't even speak fucking portuguese correctly!!!

[humblehim]

@NC77583 wow, sounds like we both got shitty presidents, both liars, connected to terrorism, thieves, and shit on the culture of the country they are controlling! well at least you have the women in thongs! how old are you NC?

[NC77583]

@humblehim First of all, sorry for the delay, I really haven't got time and I had stuff that needed to be done quickly. Well, I'll tell you how old I am, if you promise me that you'll still talk to me like you were. You know, like if I'm an adult. Because in the matter of guns, I'm a complete adult. Believe me if you want: I've already given shooting classes to all ages. I'm 15. JEEZ, how I wish I lived in the U.S. ... "Good morning USA, I've got a feeling that it's gonna be a wonderful day, ...

[humblehim]

@NC77583 well you obviously dont train with handguns for combat, especially malfunction drills. and if you are training yourself to "push it in nicely" then what do you think you are going to do in a stressed situation?

[garzac7815]

Dry-firing any centerfire pistol is perfectly safe and not harmful to the gun dude.

[RainmanE350]

Don't have real ammo in the same room as snap caps while practicing

[NoahPrine]

I have a question im only 14 so excuss my knowing of guns. so is the clip release on both sides on that gun because im a left handed shooter. just wandering

[snatale1]

@NoahPrine Nope, left side mag release only, When shooting lefty I can release the mag just as easy with my trigger or middle finger. Most guns don't have right sided mag releases. Some are starting to have reversible ones and sometime ambi ones. The other problem for a lefty is your spent casings are always flying across your face, it's annoying. Thats why I shoot righty 95% of the time. (I'm left handed)

[NoahPrine]

@snatale1 Thank you for the help.

[humblehim]

@NoahPrine just remember that it is not a clip but a magazine...the only weapons that have "clips" off the top of my head are weapons like the m1 Garand that have a incorporated magazine that is loaded with a clip. i say all this because i know myself and many others that are deep into firearms can pick out a douchebag when they say "clip" or release the slide of a pistol by pulling down on the slide lock and letting it slap forward..just FYI always be humble and ask questions

[NoahPrine]

@humblehim I understand, but this happens from playing lots of video games. I'll work on my vocabulary.

[TRUEJOKER100]

he thought he was cool by catching it after he pulls it 

[Anonymous1226]

S & W should stick to revolvers.

[Paule3777]

how it cost for your gun ?

[Alexn1067]

jesus that trigger is horrific, but then again I am a accustomed to the 1911 so I have been spoiled.

[Lonewolf6565]

@Alexn1067

the sigma triggers were designed to be very heavy. From the start the sigma series was designed to compete with Glock for law enforcement sales. During their initial research into what officers wanted they found that many officers wanted a much heavier trigger pull to help prevent negligent discharges since they have no manual safety like glocks. But it would seem that no matter what the trigger pulls weight is at if you keep your finger off the fucking trigger the gun wont go off.

[brentdb]

its a magazine, not a clip :)

[Zenome]

@brentdb Yea, the clip is the video that I made with your mom last night.

[brentdb]

@Zenome I remember my first beer

[geGNOME]

@brentdb The only thing more annoying than people calling it a clip are the guys who correct them all the time.

[HspncElvis]

This guy hasn't gotten the word yet. Dry fire is ok with the Sigma Series. Don't waste your money on snap caps.

[BstinkiN]

@poaeypark funk yeah

[badluckhoppy]

Dry firing is fine, but dry dropping the slide is not.... Over time, dry dropping will damage your trigger mechanism and turn a 3 lbs. trigger into an 8 lbs. trigger. As for dry firing, with this sort of weapon you have nothing to worry about........

[finishman2000]

so full of fail. stick to the daisy red ryder

[finishman2000]

stick to the bb gun

[mrbill2600]

I knew that this video was in trouble the moment a live round came into the picture. Also you should practice trigger pull with the pad of your index finger and not the first joint. Using the first joint reinforcs a bad habit. Forget the snap caps when practicing trigger pull, not necessary. Also ignore all the 16 year old, know it all, smart ass comments. Clip vs magazine, bullet vs round, hang in there you'll learn and one day be a great instructor. We're all still learning... I hope.

[zipper45]

I didn't know handguns used clips?! derp derp

[jkiang]

@zipper45 They don't, there are clips for hair though. derp

[108thbuckkcity]

is there a safey on this gun?i bought one but i cant seem to find it,i knw it sounds stupid but i dont want to mess with it

[raven0565]

@108thbuckkcity no safety

[ogpdub]

@108thbuckkcity It does not have a safety, that's what the heavy trigger is for. And don't worry, I was in the same situation when I first got mine.

[ahesse1488]

@108thbuckkcity the safety is intrinsic.So,while there is not manual safety,there r many safety mechanisms in place, all day everday, w/o ur influence.The decocker is 2 set your gun back 2 double action(heavy pull) 2 safely carry. he trigger MUST b pulled to activate firing pin.These modern weapons r extensively tested not 2 fire when dropped.yada yada yada.If you young n single like me its cool. if your married with a 4 year old kid in the house like my bro, u ask y not just have the damn thing

[papamoose71]

@108thbuckkcity yes there is, and its between your ears.

[epiphyticsab]

@jsh1284 Not true! I wouldn't dare dry fire any of my Colt SAA's or my Uberti SA's.

Dry firing ANY gun should be avoided if at all possible.

[bomber19421]

don't ride the slide forward, SLIGSHOT it

[C22Sickle]

BTW it's generally a bad idea to be messing around with Snap Caps with live rounds. Accidents happen. Better to put your ammo in another room when dry firing. Also ONLY FEED from the magazine! If you just put a round in there the extractor has to push past the lip on the round and will damage your extractor. Do not do that!

[jrsaw27]

Yes dry firing with some gun will damage them, mostly in rifles where the pin is much longer and more fragile, most are still very strong HOWEVER to make you gun last longer, use a snap cap or a dummy round to prevent EXTRA fatigue that is not necessary. I have had one pin break during a practice.

[jrsaw27]

Also it is important for those learning about dry firing, it is a great exercise, BUT LEAVE ALL Live Ammo in a DIFFERENT room, and when you are done, you are done, It took me one lesson to figure that out, and a pair of pants.

[blitzkrieg459]

lol nice, I like how you caught the round in the air.

[GunNut12680]

dry firing hammer striked pistols can damage the firing eventually.the sigma is striker fired.you will be fine.

[jdiddy27]

gun is great, check me out shooting it in PA

[ih8suvz]

My pin broke when I was dry firing my Sigma SW9C. I didn't even know it was broken till I took it apart one day to clean it.

S&W fixed it on their dime, and they paid for shipping too.

[longbeachmustangkid]

Gee Golly thanks for the thumbs down asshole!

[4xwagon]

Although "Snap Caps" seem like a good idea in theroy they really do pose a significant danger. Simulating malfunctions or use during dry practice may cause them to be mixed with live ammunition and eventually lead to a neglagent discharge. Anybody watching instructional weapon handling videos online should carefully consider the information being provided. I understand the intent is good but this should in no way be a substitute for real training from a competent and certified instructor.

[saj12100]

define clip and bullet.

[Xxcodyxx66]

Just to let you know dry fiering is fine with the sigma says so on thier website

[ScopedOUT2]

lol

[betatestersrule08]

can u use "snap caps" again n again when dry fired or throw them away??....

[monkeyman1140]

Yes you can reuse snap caps, the primer has a spring behind it.

[CondemnedS8nt]

i've got to disagree on the part where he says you need to practice so that you know exactly when the trigger will release the firing pin. that is false, you actually want it to be a surprise, and when i say surprise i mean when you pull the trigger you dont want to anticipate the time it fires, because if you anticipate the shot, you will jerk in response to the anticipation and your shot will be off.

[Master7770]

The sigma is striker fire just like the glock. Dryfire wont hurt it at all.

[dritch60]

Dry firing a Sigma is completely safe. I would be more concerned about your releasing the slide at full speed without chambering a round or a snap cap. My 1911 manual say's " Do not release slide without a round or manually slowing it. May cause slide or feed ramp damage." I've seen cracked slides from this practice. I also recall from one of your previous videos this is your first gun. While I'm no expert this Sigma is my 5th handgun and my third semi auto.

[dpinnow31]

yes dry firing is safe but not good on the firing pin i know a few guys who have ruined them dry firing this only applies to semi auto guns and not revolvers it may not happen right away but after many dry fires you will destroy your firing pin. so it is safe but not a good practice towards the life of your gun

[wav3form]

Depends entirely on the gun if dry firing is ok or not. Just blindly saying that ALL dry firing is bad is just not true.

[Tricksalot]

@dritch60 Releasing the slide, without putting a 1911 into battery is fairly exclusive to that gun. most, if not all modern handgun designs have remedied that issue.

[Tricksalot]

@dritch60 strictly applies to the 1911. it wont damage modern designed handguns. remember the 1911 design is 100 years old.

[Shazee083]

I cant stop i have to pull aaahhh lol

[cbr6864]

the thought that you cant dry fire is old school i have dry fired my glock at least a1000 times.

the break in means you fire live rounds to smooth out all moving parts.

[LordTio3]

Once again, "dummy bullets" and snap caps are totally different tools. However, using snap caps to "break-in" your gun won't work. Breaking in happens when firing live ammo to exercise vital parts like your extractor, trigger, and recoil spring assembly. You don't get any recoil from rounds that don't explode. They do help train other things (see below). If you're trying to train with "Dummy" or blank rounds, you may as well train with Live ammo as you need the same environment legally for both.

[PunisherXD40]

you have commented on every Sigma video on youtube...

[longbeachmustangkid]

Lol yeah im pretty sure.....I've been watching a bunch of videos on them because my buddy got the 9mm version and I wanted to see what kind of shit people said about them. My friend likes his and a bunch of people seem to like theirs too.

[longbeachmustangkid]

Hey dude I found a sigma video I HAVENT commented on lol

[smttysmth02gt]

Dryfire does not effect centerfire firearms.

[rustygrant]

The guys at the gun shop said you could dry fire this gun. In fact, the instruction manual implies it in the disassembly process.

[LordTio3]

Now, having said that, Snap Caps are a GREAT training tool as is "Dry Firing" so that you can train your breathing, trigger staging, trigger control, FTF drills, and stabilization. Once again, props to you for going all out and getting some toos to train with. But you really aren't going to hurt your Sigma by dry firing it. It was designed for it. It's necessary to dry fire it in order to take it down, and you can't have a snap cap in for that.

Top notch video. Extra-safety never hurts.

~Tio

[LordTio3]

Okay, everyone here has some valuable information. They are also extremely juvenile about stating it.

Yes-

They are rounds or cartridges, not bullets

Dummy rounds ARE Blanks- Snap caps are something totally different

And standard Double Action Only pistols like the SW9VE and the Glocks are not hurt by "dry-firing" them. The only guns that really get worn out that way are Hammer fired weapons like the 1911 where the hammer is making contact with the pin.

[blahehe]

"They are also extremely juvenile about stating it."

Welcome to Youtube.

[TheLizardKing1967]

This is STUPID. Load the damm gun with four 50 round boxes of 9mm ammo and put 200 rounds though it the 1st time. That will break it in just fine.

[DseaFive2o6]

dummy round and snap caps isnt the same buddy...

[rambo20122]

snap caps are ok if they weigh the same as a real 9mm

[longbeachmustangkid]

@rambo20122 Oh yeah, because 115gr bullets and 180gr bullets weigh exactly the same right?....dumb ass

[stchman]

Snap caps are a waste of time and money. Dry firing a gun does not damage firing pins.

It is called a magazine not a clip.

[laser5890]

fuck time.

[longbeachmustangkid]

Actually dry firing certain guns WILL damage the firing pin....

[stchman]

Only some rimfire guns, not center fire guns. If it makes you feel better to use snap caps and waste money, be my guest.

[longbeachmustangkid]

Oh I know I was just correcting you because you worded it wrong and said dry firing wouldnt hurt ANY guns....you didnt say ANY in the comment but the way you said it you basically did, SO like I said I was only correcting you. Im aware of what kind of guns can and cannot be dry fired without hurting the firing pin.

[stchman]

Although the Ruger 10/22 can be dry fired without damage.
