I dry fire a great deal. I spent thirty years in L.E., and back in the revolver days we were encouraged to dry fire in order to improve our trigger control. We were assured that it wouldn’t damage the gun.
Well, I guess they don’t make ’em like they used to because, since retirement, I have broken the firing pins of two revolvers and two semi-autos in spite of using top quality snap caps.
I hear you, when I started doing heavy dry fire with my Glock 17, I broke two (I think perhaps three) mag spring catches by hammering 1000s of reloads. That spring is a simple as it gets, a simple .050″ rod that bends at a prescribed arc (in the plastic slot in the front of the grip).
