Way back then dry firing was common advice.

Between bouts I had poured a cup of coffee and loaded the revolver, came back a few minutes later and “BANG!”. I had forgotten I had loaded it.

Since then I will NEVER put into my subconscious an expectation of pulling a trigger without consequences as dry firing does
