Ok - it's required for 15min/day to make sure your trigger finger stays 'broken in'.

Last month I cut my trigger finger on a magazine....then it got infected. Was so stiff I couldn't move it. And it sent streaks up my arm so I had to go the hospital...all for a tiny little cut that got brass in it. So yes finger malfunctions can occur. So definetly keep it broke in. |

When I was in USAF basic training, we spent part of an afternoon doing nothing but dry firing.

My AR is complete except for the barrel, is there any danger to dryfiring without a barrel to support the bolt? Bolt and carrier are complete and installed, I just don't have a barrel.
Yes, I'm getting antsy and want to play with my new toy. h.gif Chris |

Chris, Don't dryfire w/o the barrel - I'm afraid the bolt carrier might slide forward and the hammer strike on that web of aluminum that holds the bolt catch in place. Repeated strikes on the web can cause dammage. |

Thanks all. The reason I asked was: My local Bushy dealer is ANAL about dryfiring EVERYTHING in his store. He goes bonkers if you ask to dryfire anything. He wanted to kill me when I dryfired an AR.
What about 1911s and S&W revolvers? I always thought it was fine for these too. |

I think as a general rule it is okay to dry fire center fire carts.

negative...older shotguns will royally get F*cked up by dryfiring them. if you must dry fire, I suggest one of those lil plastic bullets designed for dryfiring. |

Dry firing a 1911 is fine. Most people recommend not letting the slide slam shut on an empty chamber though. |
