Dry-firing is an effective method to improve firearm skills. Again, several safety rules must be
observed:
1. Check to make certain the weapon is empty.
2. If a weapon has to be down-loaded (as would be the case for a police officer or a person
with a concealed carry permit), unload the weapon at one location, leave the ammunition
at that location, and move to another location to practice dry-firing.
3. Never have ammunition in the practice area.
4. It is always a good idea to utilize snap-caps to prevent damage to the firing pin.
5. Warning signs include any interruptions or other people entering the dry-firing area.
6. Again, never point the weapon at anything you are not willing to destroy.
7. When you are finished dry-firing, move back to the area where the weapon is stored.
