Can I dry-fire my Glock handgun without damaging it?

Asked a year ago
Yes, you can safely dry-fire your Glock handgun without causing any damage. Glock handguns are designed with a special firing pin and firing pin safety system that allows for dry-firing without harming the firearm. Dry-firing is a common and recommended practice to improve your shooting skills, enhance trigger control, and familiarize yourself with the gun's operation. However, it is important to ensure that the firearm is unloaded and the magazine is removed before dry-firing. Always follow basic firearm safety protocols, such as pointing the gun in a safe direction, to avoid any accidents. Dry-firing with your Glock handgun will help you become more proficient and confident in handling your firearm.
