dry firing

[ls3mach]

His Taurus is a striker-fire gun - if its like the 709s I've seen (and Glocks, XDs, etc...) it states in the manual that in order to take it down, it must be dry-fired.

I can verify on my PT745 I have to dry-fire to take it down.

I have heard that it may also damage AR-15 firing pins...Is it true?

the only real problem I have with dry firing is that a lot of people do it so frequently with no thought at all that it can lead to them having a ND once a round is chambered and the dry firing habit takes over on a loaded gun. I have seen it on several times and have heard of it even more

I sure replaced a lot of double barrel firing pins when I had my business years ago. I would never dry fire one of those.
