Don't you need to dry fire every time you convert the slide? That was a big turn-off for me...
Well then you're missing out for no reason.
On the Glock, yes you have to dry fire it just like if you were taking it down for cleaning. It does no harm to the slide whatsoever. I have more than 15,000 rounds through my AA kit and it functions perfectly.
Why are you afraid to dry fire? If you practice basic handgun safety nothing bad is gonna happen.
What do u think is gonna happen by dry firing?
