[QUOTE="S&W 10, post: 1037418, member: 7355"] You shouldn't need anything in the chambers in order to dry fire the 511, but as previously mentioned snap caps can prevent damage to the firing pins. If this particular 511 has sat unused and uncleaned for an extended period of time, it's possible the some oil or grease has hardened in the pin bores and/or in and around the coil main springs & plungers. A thorough cleaning may be all it needs to function properly. If you haven't previously fired it and aren't very familiar with SxS's, I would suggest having a competent gunsmith give it a good looking over. While the 311 and 511 are very sturdy utility firearms, they can still suffer from wear and other damage that could result in an injury or worse to the shooter...Better safe, than sorry! ;) [/QUOTE]
