Just wanted to be sure. Will only dry fire after cleaning for storage.

Yes. It's OK to dry fire modern centerfire handguns.

Some older guns and all rimfire guns should not be dry fired.

Always good to check the owners manual or SIG faq section of their website. If it's not mentioned there, you could use snap caps or empty casing.


Beware of a man whose only pistol is a 1911, he's probably very good with it.

Pulling the trigger to release the striker for storage is one thing, but dry firing for practice is something else. I would use a snap cap for any kind of practice.

I sure hope so. Done it a lot after it got back from the upgrade.

If you drop it, it will dry fire on its own. Razz

I'd recommend chambering a snap cap for repeated dry fire practice. Just 'cause it's a striker doesn't mean you still can't break something. I've seen Glock breech faces blown out from extensive dry fire, so it's not out of the realm to think that the same can't happen to a 320 slide.
