[QUOTE="Daves762, post: 1689120, member: 33751"] Gunsmith/Machinist/millwright here. Dry firing a centerfire pistol or rifle is OK. Dry firing a rimfire is NOT ok. Fully loaded magazines will work even after decades of being fully loaded, it's the cycling of a spring that wears it out, not the constant compression of it. Firing pins, their springs, and sear springs are cheap, should be changed out frequently, just like your oil filter. Dry firing will help if you need help. But long range hits during practice have no substitute. [/QUOTE]
