I was taught as a kid never to dry fire any weapon. That it did damage or could break a firing pin. any truth to that?
is dry firing good or bad practice? And Why? it depends on the particular firearm. as a good rule of thumb, don't do it, and especially don't do it if it is not YOUR firearm. that being said there are several models out there that state in the owners manual that it is safe to dry fire that firearm, Ruger is one that states it is safe to dry fire any of their firearms including rimfire models. if you don't know, dont do it. thank you, i will check with the manufacturer.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

Well, i finally got ahold of the manufacturer (one who could speak English) and discovered a few things. Rohm nolonger has anything to do with guns due to a anti-gun lawsuit in 1986. They are back to making lathe chucks, as they did before guns. There is no factory info or knowledge available for this model or any model. But the RG-39 seems to be pretty rare. Most were 38S models or RG-10.22lr revolvers. I found only three references of someone owning a RG-39. and very few work as well, or as accurately as this one. Ignition problems seem to be a reoccurring theme. I will avoid dry firing, since it is doubtful It can be repaired for any reasonable fee.
