I have been told this does not apply to striker fired weapons...
Continually hitting the firing pin with the hammer when there is no resistance (ie from a primer or snap cap) can knock the firing pin out of its proper spacing.
There is absolutely no damage to a firearm from dry firing that comes close to the wear and tear of live fire. The specific damage that people speak of that is unique to dry firing is too minor to worry about.
Dry firing is the single most important self training anyone can do.
I cannot emphasize the importance of dry fire.
If you arent shooting 500rds a week you should spend 15 minutes a week doing dry fire training. Just to stay marginal.

No disagreement ... it just doesn't do it for me ... I just prefer to shoot. And I ain't average. Or Joe....A4's, gotta disagree with you on the average Joe dry firing....
I've heard this over and over ever since I've been shooting. Most guys DON'T shoot competitively..... if you shoot in competitions and if you wanna be competitive, you need to dry fire almost as much as you fire live ammo...
