As a new member and soon to be M&P owner, I would like to know if it is OK to dryfire this pistol.
Thanks. :?:

There you have the answer from the manufacturer. (Although I’m surprised you got an honest answer, most manufacturers are afraid to answer that question truthfully.) You should not dry fire any weapon without a snap cap. But that won’t be a popular answer because it isn’t what some people want to hear.zargarex said:FYI, I asked S&W if it was okay to dry fire with an empty weapon. Their reply:
Hello,
We would recommend that you use a Snap Cap or similar product when dry
firing your weapon.

vallhawke said:Sorry for the ignorance but do I need to worry about breaking the striker at all when dryfiring? I thought I saw some posting regarding dryfiring and improper field stripping disassembly as the culprit for broken striker? Also what's the proper way for dryfiring snap caps or none snap caps. Thanks in advance for the replies.
