Last year I decided to purchase a model 41, having never owned one. I found an excellent looking older model, with supposedly low round count, however upon inspection I noticed the breech face had been hit by the firing pin. The damage was several mm deep, which turned me right off that pistol.
Since then I have purchased a new model 41 which exhibits the odd failure to load with CCI Standard ammo. Because I'm not aware of the FTL, this results in an odd dry fire. So far my pistol shows no signs of the firing pin contacting the breech face. Next time I clean it, I intend to push the firing pin forward and check where it protrudes and if it's possible to contact the breech, which I doubt.
My take on this is, my model 41 can handle dry firing but if I want to do a lot of it, cushion the firing pin with something like snap caps. That way I am covering all bases, just in case.
