AND I have to call BS on a previously posted statement:
Quote:
Taurus specifically recommends against dry firing their revolvers.
Wrong!:

Not BS-the manual for my Taurus da, center-fire revolver specifically states:"...Dry firing is bad for this gun, whether the hammer block is engaged or not..."
Concerning securing permission before dry-firing someone else's firearm, absolutely yes. As most others have agreed, not only does asking first constitute good form, but dry-firing some guns could possibly damage them. On the other hand, I would not buy any firearm, new or used, without dry-firing it first, so, as many have suggested, bring snap caps with you.
Having to decide between a 4" or 6" barrel always makes me wonder why the 5" length has never been more popular.
