I hear people talk about practicing trigger pull with empty handguns.
I have heard it is not good to dry fire 1911's.
You must have been somewhere near an "internet expert". :roll:
I had several people tell me that dry firing a 1911 would not hurt anything.
At that time my only 1911 was one I had paid $1,700 for, so I was hesitant
to try it. Soooo, I bought a very inexpensive one, specifically for dry fire.
This was a VERY inexpensive one and the trigger reflected that. Long
story short, after over 8,000 cycles, the very inexpensive one has an
excellent trigger. ZERO other changes/problems.
I now have it combined with a
mechtech upper to have a .45 carbine.
Summary: Dryfire in a 1911 is NOT a problem.
