I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere, but i wasn't able to find the answer on my own by searching other posts. And, i'd like to get an answer from an educated source.



Just bought my m&p9 yesterday and won't be able to get to the range until Wed/Thurs. I would love to get a headstart on learning the trigger on my new pistol by dryfiring, so...



Is there any reason that i shouldn't dry-fire my new M&P? I know that certain pistols can be damaged by dry-firing, so i thought i'd ask someone who knows before starting.

Also, should i avoid releasing the slide on an empty chamber, or is it ok?



I thank you in advance for the info..

Dry-fire is okay with the M&P.



Dropping the slide on a empty chamber is generally considered to be a bad idea. Nothing catastrophic, but not good either.

Ok... I'm new... what is meant by "dropping the slide on an empty chamber"????

locking the slide back, then letting it go on an empty chamber using the slide release.

I think someone just came out with a "training" bar just for dry fire practice.... who was it? :roll:
