Hello,
I have some semi-automatic pistols and rifles. I store them with dummy rounds and the trigger pulled so the firing pin is resting on the dummy cartridge. The place where the primer is non metal. Does have anyone have a opinion how firearms should be stored ie with the trigger pulled or not? I generally go to the range about once a month. Thanks Emeric |

I've had guns sit in the safe for years with the hammer cocked and they still work like they day I placed them in there.
I wouldn't worry too much about it. Also, snap caps were a good idea when firing pins broke due to dry firing, but nowadays, modern firing pins are made of better metal that doesn't break from dry-firing so they're not really necessary either. On vintage guns yes, modern guns no. IMO |

If it's not loaded and kept in the safe, hammer down/ trigger pulled, no dummy round. jmho This is the same for me, In a safe, trigger pulled. Chamber and internal magazines empty I chamber check and pull the trigger on all my firearms as I pull them out of the safe or as I put them back in the safe. (Actually I check the condition of them anytime I pick them up, and they have been out of my sight) |
