I have a model 82 .38 Special revolver, and in the manual it states: "Dry firing is bad for this firearm - do not dry fire." or something to that effect.
I don't want to dry fire a lot, but since this pistol is new to me, I'd like to be able to get a feel for it without having to go to the range and live fire it. I mean, I love to do that, but I can't do it as often as I would like.
So here are my questions:
1. Does anyone know specifically why dry firing is bad for Taurus revolvers and what are the possible negative consequences?
2. Is it okay to dry fire Taurus revolvers - my model 82 - with snap caps in place?
Thanks in advance for your response!
