Sometimes when you are bumping around you find a post that makes you want to reply and not really think about the age of the OP. I have done it. Revived an old post on a issue that came up again several years later.

I'm glad he did revive it. I knew about the drywall anchor method from old posts but I don't recall seeing one that included the size that they found that worked best. Yea, I could have experimented for myself but since I have to go to the hardware store for something else, it is time to pick some up.

Actually I don't tend to dry fire much but I worry when I hand off my 22 revolver to someone to admire. Having bright colored anchors in it makes it easy to see it is not loaded and they can pull the trigger taboot. Most who have not handled a S&W revolver are quick to compliment how nice the trigger pull is when I let them fire my revolver. S&W does get that right more often than not.
