Read about it in the papers at least once a week.

The big difference between my opinion and yours is no one was ever killed following my advice.

So Jack, like I asked before...You dont ever clean your firearms and break them down? If you can't ever hold an unloaded firearm, you will never be able to service your weapons. So do you just get rid of your guns, and buy a replacement when they are too dirty and start malfunctioning on you?

Another big difference between our opinions is that I have facts and quotes from EXPERTS to back mine up. All you have is you contention that you are right.

Anyone else notice that Jack conveniently left out the fact that Jeff Cooper, the very person he used as a reason NOT to dry fire, supports dry fire drills? lol

So again, do I take the word of an internet bully, or gun instructors and experts with years of experience?

Sorry, but you don't know "Jack" compared to the likes of Jeff Cooper and Massad Ayoob.

It's not a contention it's a fact.

No one EVER killed someone else or their self unintentionally following MY advice.

Oh, and here is a whole article on dry fire by Ayoob:

Let's see...

The Modern Technique of the Pistol (Hardcover)

by Gregory B. Morrison, Jeff Cooper

"Dry-practice in the home is a worthwhile habit and it will result in more deeply programmed reflexes. Most of the reflexes involved in the Modern Technique do not require that a shot be fired. Particular procedures for dry-firing in the home will be covered later. Let it suffice for now that you do not dry-fire using a "target" that you wish not to see destroyed. (Recall RULE I as well.)"

Guys, Guys. you just have to get to know Jack - you see, he's special. He's like the ultra INGO Libertarian mascot. He's gotta take a side against everyone else where possible. It's how he remains HARDCORE. You think you're all pro gun? Well Jack is WAY MORE PRO-GUN than YOU and you SUCK by comparison!!! You're all just MESSING AROUND and he's the only one who is SERIOUS around here!!!



Jack, Jack. I kid, I kid. I kid because I love. Give me a hug, man.

LLDJR, no snap caps are not necessary for the Glock in terms of protecting the mechanism from damage, but as some have pointed out, snap caps can be used in some interesting ways for practice.

If all you're looking for is something to improve the safety of dry-fire practice, a product to consider would be a safety barrel like those from Blade-Tech.
