Just to ease your mind on this, since the empties don't eject during firing you won't be dry firing it by dropping the trigger on a spent round. The hammer will hit the soft brass of the empty and be none the worse for wear.

If you like autos, want good sights, and don't want to rack a slide, you must consider a tip-barrel Beretta like the 86: tC4afGwbeug Should weigh about 23 oz, which I think would be lighter than the revolvers you have which you said are too heavy. 8+1 rounds and you can carry a spare mags for...
