| I seem to remember reading on here that someone posted that dry firing the Glock will result in damage. First, is this true? Second, if so then is it better to leave a Glock "cocked" or dry fire it when it is unloaded and being stored? |

Well since you have to dry fire it it strip her down it is fine. Been dry firing my Glocks from day 1 and no problems. I usually drop mag, empty chamber, rack slide, inspect chamber, and pull trigger to store. I actually dry fire all my weapons except some of the .22 lr's. Good training. |
| Like someone else said in the NE shooters link, that looks a lot like a failure caused by something else and showed up when dry firing. That pic doesn't worry me one bit. The striker is the size of a primer, so if there was to be a slide failure it would be a lot smaller than that. I see other places where a dry fire failure would show up way before that pic would suggest. I will keep on dry firing my Glocks w/o worry. |
| dry fire is a great way to practice. try putting a quarter on your front sight and pull the trigger without knocking of the coin and keep your sights on your target. do so after you check your chamber about 10 times. also pulling the trigger and keeping it pulled back rack the slide again and let the trigger up just barely until you feel the reset then pull it again. you will be more accurate after leaning exactly how your trigger feels and this is only done by pulling the trigger several times. |
