Description: LEARN MORE: chrissajnog.com/join-the-team Hey guys, what is going on in this quick tip I really just want to kind of give you some information. Maybe debunk a myth that's out there and that is - Is dry fire bad for your firearm? And it's kind of a tough one to answer because there are firearms that you don't want to do it with and other ones that it's fine to do with. And in general, if you are shooting a modern centerfire a handgun like most of you shoot, then it is perfectly fine to do dry fire. And when I'm saying dry fire here, I specifically mean that you are pulling the trigger on a gun that does not have a live round in the chamber, so your gun is not going to go bang. That is what I mean here. When I teach dry fire I like to call it dry weapons manipulation or dry weapons training, I say that because when I teach it, I mean everything that has to do with getting better at shooting. When I say dry fire training, I'm talking about everything that makes you a better shooter. I'm talking about meditation, I'm talking about working on your eyesight, working on your grip strength, doing visualization training, planning out your training, working on drawing your weapon, working on clearing malfunctions. All of this stuff is going to make you a better shooter besides this one little last act that you do and squeezing off a round on that trigger, but in answering the question here, in busting the myth in general, no, it's not bad. One thing to think about is when there is around in that chamber and the gun does go bang - That's a lot of pressure and a lot of potential damage that could be happening in there and if nothing goes wrong there, it's not going to happen. When the gun doesn't go bang that little dropping the hammer on an empty chamber. It's not going to damage the gun if there's nothing wrong with a gun. Now there are things that are wrong with a gun. Guns will break usually from firing them too much or maybe there's a defect in them, but in general, dry fire is totally safe, especially if you're doing dry weapons training as I teach and you are just doing everything that it takes to make you a better shooter. All right, so that is it. So go ahead and keep on dry firing. And if you liked this video, please hit the like button. I'd appreciate that.
