I have heard conflicting stories. Is it ok to dry fire a Glock or do I need to use snap caps??

thanks!
 
Dry firing a Glock will not hurt it. It's a good thing, too, because dry firing practice would be a royal pain if one needed snap caps--you can't just cock the hammer back but have to cycle the slide.
 
Actually, you do NOT have to cycle the slide, you just need to chamber check your gun. Moving the slide about 1/2 inch will reset the trigger. You are NOT cocking it like a 1911.

You have to dry fire the things to get them back in the tupperware. If it were not good for the gun, I would think they'd come up with a different storage container.

Also, the more you pull a GLock trigger, the smoother it gets. Get to it! :)
 
Just add a tad of lube (like CLP) to the trigger mechanism, nt even a drop will do. This will make the trigger quite smooth and break it in nicely.

I am a Glock LEO Armorer and it most definitely will NOT hurt any Glock to be dry fired.

In order to disassemble a Glock first you must dryfire it. The factory manual says it's perfectly okay. Don't sweat it.
 
You can but you will damage the breech face if done enough.

Better safe than sorry so I use snap caps.

jt, how? Sounds like an urban legend to me. A modern pistol that was built corectly will not suffer any damage from dry firing.
 
I seriously doubt anyone could ever damage the breach face by dry-firing their Glock.

If it worries you, go ahead and use a snap cap.
