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.
Yes, but I'm pretty sure they're not talking about extended dry fire practice sessions. I don't use snap caps for cycling the action when performing maintenance, but I do if I know I'm going to be dry firing more than just a few times.

Again, snap caps are cheap insurance.
