Is it bad to dry fire a Pistol?
I just bought a Springfield Armory XD gun and I just wanted to know if it was bad to dry fire.
Answers:
Yes, I have them because I WANT them, not because I NEED them. With a .22, however, I would not dry fire without a little red snap cap.

Actually, it depends on the type of pistol. Always check the owners manual or the company website. They'll normally tell you. However, your pistol is a "striker-fired" mechanisim. Like a Glock or a S&W SW99. This one CAN be damaged by dry firing. Get a "snap-cap" dummy round and you'll be alright.

No. You can dry fire pistols. The only thing that can happen is if your firing pin is brittle or has a flaw it will break sooner. If it has a flaw or is brittle it will break while shooting so it doesn't make any difference.
Snap caps are good if you want to practice loading and unloading. also if you have a snap cap in the chamber you can't have a live round in it. So from that aspect it is safer.

How can I tell what year my winchester model 94 ranger was made?
it's a bad idea, they make snap caps expressly for the purpose of protecting the firing pin, practicing with your gun, ect. most pins nowadays are milled out of higher quality steel, but older guns may have cast ones, that are naturally more brittle(my cz 52 has a cast pin, i plan on getting a machined one to replace it.) 22's and other rimfires are really bad to dry fire, it's best to de-*, or use snap caps.(some companies suggest dry-firing for practice, it helps get rid of that "bang-expectant twitch")Is it turkey season in California?
If you dry-fire a rimfire too much you can damage the edge of the chamber and have difficulty getting the rounds to chamber up. On most other modern firearms it is ok to dry-fire, but Snap-caps would do away with any worries you might have about damaging the weapon.Whats the best caliber rifle for deer and hog hunting in the florida panhandle farm areas?
