PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - IMPORTANT MESSAGE - PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING
Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

IMPORTANT: In Photo-threads, each post should contain at least one picture of your own. Quoting a previous post, does not make your post compliant with that requirement. Photo threads are NOT for chatting.

Dry fireing?

Newbie to the forum here. Just want to say that this site is a gold mine of information. I have spent days on here going over every question I could think of, and have found answers to almost everything.

I just picked up a PT 1911 a couple of weeks ago. Love it. I am trying to improve my shooting skills, and have read some posts concerning dry firing as one of the ways to help. I am just wondering if this will have any negative consequneces on the pistol itself, and if I should maybe invest in some dummy rounds??

Unless you plan to dry shoot your pistol 500 times per day 7 days a week, 365 days a year, no, it won't harm it.

Taurus manual says you should not dry fire. However I would think as long as you have some snap caps your should be fine.

well, in that case, someone from Taurus should explain us their reasoning.

I would not think it would hurt the gun unless,as John mentioned,it was done in extreme excess.
