I read in various places that dry-firing a gun is a [BAD THING], as it can muck up the firing pin or break it? But then I've also read that it's okay for some guns. And a police officer friend of mine told me it doesn't make a difference.
Can anyone give me some information on how to determine which guns are "safe" to dry-fire without damaging the firing pin? And are those practice rounds any good? Those are the little plastic (red) rounds with a spring inside, connected to a little round plate where the primer usually goes.
Thanks in advance!
