So, with the dummy rounds, is it safe to actually dry fire the weapon repeatedly without harming the firing pin?
As long as the "dummy round" has a shock absorbing material, or a spring at the primer area. Don't use a dummy with a hard primer. The clear plastic ones are probably best because other people can see that you're using a dummy. I have some old school all aluminum ones with springs in the primer pockets -- a non-shooter might think they are some sort of metallic cartridge. There's no questions about the clear ones being inert.

Golden words of wisdom, my friend. In all endeavors, those who do it best usually make it look effortless no matter how hard they are working.
