Even that doesn't work. Yes, it's perfectly safe to dry-fire any Ruger 22.

I know this gun will be marketed for SD, but I got a LCR in 22lr for fun, and fun it is. The 22lr LCR is an absolute blast to shoot

I would advise anyone with an LCR 22 to shoot their carry ammo in it, and make sure the world is Flat and Square.
I read alot and I also shoot a lot. My LCR 22 will lock up solid with Velocitors. Others seem to work fine with them. Stingers fire fine, but eject a little stiff, but not a problem. I have not done any research to see if clean vs dirty has any impact on the Velocitors. Or if polishing the chambers might impact the sticking. I am sure what is happening is the case is back thrusting into the recoil shield and staying tight against it. Since some work with Velocitors just fine, I think this can be ironed out. So far I have not rounded up all the potential carry ammo I can find and tested it for function. This is not a negative comment about an LCR 22 at all. Just a heads up to make sure your ammo functions 100% before carrying it. Something we all should do with any carry handgun. I have shot several bricks of 550 Federal through mine and love it. I was talking about loading with Speed Strips in post #17 or #18 above. I now have a couple Speed Beez Speed Loaders and a 4 Banger Loading Block. I am getting ready to have a custom kydex Double Speed Loader Carrier made for it for BUG Division reloads. Besides being a ball to shoot, it is also cheap to feed. Then the next thing my 442 Pro Moon Clip accuracy has really improved. You can get accurate with a 2" J Frame. Bob |

I have a Smith and Wesson 617 10 shot, DT-10 speed loaders and 160 round loading block box. Talk about putting a lot of ammo through a revolver in a hurry! Fun, Fun practice for my big revolver!
I just dropped in here to let everyone in on a little secret. The yellow nylon/plastic drywall anchors are fantistic for dry fire practice on any 22LR rimfire. I have dryfired my 617 thousands and thousands of times on these. Just rotate them when they start to look realy beat down under the fireing pin. They extract and eject on most fire arms as well. |

So some of you are saying all Rugers can be dry fired without damage. What provision do they have to prevent the firing pin from peening the chamber face of a rimfire?

I think these 22s are great practice tools to better ones shooting habits. Quote:
The trigger pull is so short that its tempting to not let the trigger rebound all the way, but with just a little practice I was able to subdue this temptation.

Something is stopping the pin so its hitting something even if its not reaching the chamber face. I was always told never to dry fire a rim fire but if Ruger is going to replace it if damage is done then have at it.
