[QUOTE="7stw, post: 2081834, member: 18402"] I dry fire a lot especially when changing from one bolt gun to another. I'll dry fire every time before I shoot a group. Just to get a feel for the break of the trigger. But I've got a rifle that started as a bench rest rifle and I'll use an empty because it has a soft firing pin and their are no snap caps in that caliber. On my 1911's I dry fire lots also. I've never had an issue. I run malfunction drills often and use short dummy reloads and snap caps loaded with live rounds to cause fail to fire as well as trying to cause failure to feed. Training is important and everything not running right is a good thing to practice. I don't know about a "plastic" pistol but I've never had one and hope I never need A "plastic" gun. Only had an issue with one revolver and the timing was a nickel off and that caused a bent firing pin. [/QUOTE]
