It is possible for an inertia firing pin to hit the edge of a chamber on a rimfire firearm, doing some damage to both.
However, "conventional wisdom" opined that this condition was on older rimfires, and truthfully, I thought so myself.
Right now I have only two rimfire firearms and I have never dry fired them, nor really wanted to. However, I've been getting better about using snap caps, in fact, one came with my latest purchase.
