You can tell by my question I am fairly new so please bear with me. I have heard it is a very bad idea to dry fire and to use dry fire caps instead. I make it a habit to NEVER place my finger on the trigger unless at the range and ready to fire. But I would like to practice at home so is it ok to dry fire with caps? Will it hurt the firing pin? Can I just use a spent cartridge? Thank you in advance.
