OK, why is pulling the trigger on someone else's gun when it's not
loaded considered "bad manners". Does it cause unnecessary wear on the
mechanisms involved or something?

And, would the same be true for rifles and shot guns?


Some guns can break the firing pin. I have an AMT Backup DAO that the
firing pin can be broken if dry fired. Many of the rim fire revolvers can
also be dammaged by dry firing.

Unless the owners manual states you can dry fire a gun,I don't do it. It
may or may not cause some probleems.
