[QUOTE="jdagreek, post: 1438641, member: 14916"] Ok, a confession to make. The first thing I should have done was go to the smith-wesson.com website to see if I could find the answer. The post by z06, above, triggered this thought and so I did that. Below is their answer. I post it as it might be of interest to others. The lesson here is to look for the answer before you ask a question on the board. The 3rd question on their FAQs is "can I dry fire my S&W?" Q: Can I dry fire my Smith & Wesson? A: Yes, except for the .22 caliber pistols which includes models 22A, 22S, 422, 2206, 2214, 2213 and 41. .22 caliber revolvers such as models 17, 43, 63, 317 and 617 also should not be dry fired. Q: Why can't I dry fire my .22 pistol or revolver? A: Dry firing a S&W .22 pistol or revolver will cause damage to the firing pin. Now that I have done this, I remember back a few months ago when I was researching the 460 model I went to this site and read the FAQs looking for information that might influence my decision. Just for the record and information for other S&W owners the site is linked below.
