I like to put four or six in the mag and cock the hammer for a few times and then to a "tap-rack" drill to get the next one in the chamber.Is it best to cycle the slide when dry firing, or is it OK to just cock the hammer with the thumb and leave the dummy round in the chamber?
You should NEVER 'drop' a roung into the chamber and release the slide stop allowing it to go to battery.I'VE ALWAYS DROPPED OR FED THE DUMMY INTO THE CHAMBER, THEN JUST COCKED THE HAMMER! IT'S DOES WHAT YOU NEED TO DO AND I'M GLAD YOUR USING THE DUMMY, AS MANY A FIRING PIN HAS GONE SOUTH OTHERWISE?
