OK, thanks. How about these - ever used 'em?

I have a few snap caps in different calibers. I seldom use them.
I think most guns are safe dry firing but why take the chance of
breaking a firing pin? If you dry fire, it is good insurance.
You can make them by putting a little plug of nylon from an old
cutting board in the primer pocket of a fired case.

If you reload, making dummy rounds for function testing is easy, just
remember to drill a few holes in them so you know.

I really have little need to dry fire anyway. If you are just working
on your trigger pull, use a BB gun.

I have a couple CO2 guns that I use for keeping my pointing skill up.
One is a good match for my Ruger and the other is a clone of my
Woodsman.
When I was in Md I had a range in the basement. Most of the time I was
shooting the Woodsman. Now I use the CO2 model.
Now days the Air Soft guns are pretty popular. I doubt you could cause
much trouble with them anywhere. You do need a backstop for BBs.
I like an old piece of berber carpet over a 6" "K" (rain) gutter. Tilt
the gutter a little and the BBs all end up in a pile in the bottom
end. Blow them off and reuse them.


Good idea, the BB's. I don't have the book yet, so don't know what it says about dry firing. I
suppose one could always work on their trigger pull at the range, but it could get expensive.
