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.

By all means, if it floats your boat, keep doing it. But for anybody else, the use of snap caps is advisable. Better yet, go into a gun shop and start dry firing their bolt action rifles.
