As already stated it will do nothing but help smooth your trigger out. I usually dry fire for at least 15 minutes a day focusing mostly on my draw and emergency reloads with at least one trigger press per presentation. Over the course of the last 5 years that is quite a few dry fires and I know guys that do much, much more than that.

In all seriousness if someone went to my range on a weekend and seen some of the *noobs* we have out there they would ban guns for the safety of the stupid people. I seriously need to take some pictures of all the people that flag others and even themselves while they looking down the barrel of their gun to see if it's loaded.  |

Is this picture meant to imply that dry-firing caused this? |

Discussing whether or not this was caused by dry firing would be a technical discussion. Perhaps I expected too much of this particular technical forum. |

We're having a discussion about potential damage from dry fire. Is the picture of the cracked slide you posted in any way indicative of damage resulting from dry fire? If not then you might as well just post 'KABOOM' and be done with it. |

Generally dry-fire only hurts rimfire pistols, where the firing pin will actually hit the other side of the chamber or breech. Not the case in a Glock.
If you're going to post a picture and imply that dry-firing caused it, at least ball up and take a stand, instead of just implying it and if someone makes a convincing enough argument to refute it, claim "I never said that!". You're not encouraging discussion unless you start a discussion. At least saying "do you think dry firing caused this?", in which case everyone will near-unanimously say "no, duh". Come on. |

Given that the breechface is pushed out I would say there is a possibility it was caused by dry firing. There are some that feel the breechface is very thin on a Glock and the striker does hit it when the gun is dry fired. Again, do you know what caused the damage? I don't have an opinion either way and I've owned a couple dozen Glocks so I'm hardly a troll. I just posted the picture to encourage some thought on the subject. |
