[QUOTE="mtngunr, post: 4372220, member: 46104"] The guy above mentioning a Ruger revolver did not mention type/age....generally Rugers are safe to dryfire and manuals say so, as the firing pin is SUPPOSED to be too short to hit cylinder or edge of chamber, but now and again one sneaks through, so any sign of empty impact means cease and desist, and send it back for repair or install new pin own self or file pin. Many guns not safe to dry fire, too many to list. Always go with what manufacturer says, then double check. Snap caps are not always a fix except to protect chamber, while many type firearms have a retaining crosspin for firing pin which is damaged by excess firing pin fwd movement, and snap caps do not have the firm stop to firing pin travel which real ammo provides.
