Can I dry fire my S&W handgun?
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.

Unlike center fire snap caps, commercial .22 cal rimfire snap caps do tend to wear out. The best solution I've found is to run size 4-6 wall anchors in (all) my .22's.
They fit perfectly, are reasonably tough and cost about $3.50/100 at your local hardware store.
