Just bought my first revolver, a taurus m85 steel frame. The plan is to make it my EDC after a few trips at the range, just to make sure i'm at least a decent shot with it. I was told to use standard pressure fmj loads for target practice. Question is, what ammo would you recommend for SD? Also, is it ok if i dryfire the gun w/ out snapcaps? I live outside the US and i cant seem to find any. Can i make improvised snap caps? I think i've become a revolver guy now. Im planning to sell my 1911 (my current hd gun) and replace it with a ruger or maybe s&w 4inch .357.
