Why take a chance. Buy five snap caps, in each caliber that you own, so that you can drill properly and without risk of damaging the gun or risk of a negligent discharge.
I know with all of my "tar and feather" talk it might be hard to believe, but on this one I do have to agree with doug. Why take a chance? If your last "dry fire" breaks your striker (or firing pin), you might not know until you have to fire the gun. Snap caps are a very wise investment for ANY gun. It is the only way I go through any practice drills. With a bunch of them, you can learn how to rack your slide a lot faster, and never have to worry about a
negligent discharge (also agree with doug on the wording).
I will bitch about doug anytime I can (sorry doug, I just don't like your posts), but I do have to say that he has been "around-the-block" a few times, and knows his firearms.I would trust him on this one. If that striker (or pin) fails,and you don't know it, you might just get dead...
