[QUOTE="henschman, post: 2081519, member: 4235"] I dry fire a lot. It is a crucial part of training for anyone who wants to develop strong fundamentals of marksmanship, unless you are made of so much money that you can afford to go through thousands of rounds of live ammo every month, or are a pro and are training on somebody else's dime. Hell, even most pros do a lot of dry fire, just because it is so convenient, and can be done at your own home while you are watching TV, etc. It won't hurt even most modern .22s. It certainly won't hurt a Ruger 10/22 and a CZ452... that much I know from experience. I figure even if I do break a firing pin after years of dry fire, I will see it like any other part that breaks during normal use... I would replace it and keep on going. FYI we have the shooters dry fire quite a bit at Appleseeds. I have never seen anyone break a firing pin. [/QUOTE]
