Or not...? I mean maybe a few times ok, but not 1000. Any issues with this? Has anyone done it safely?

in modern firearms you will not have a problem, you could always use some snap caps if you wanted too, but i don't. i have almost 5000rds through my xd service model and it has been dri fired about twice that much. btw i a few firearms you have to pull the trigger to dissasemble, like the glock, xd etc.

A snapcap is recommended. However I think it would be fine.

I've dry fired my Sig P229 about 7000 times this year alone. For high quantity dry firing I use snap caps, I discard them after each one has had about 1000 strikes.

Make sure you follow dry firing safety rules, and have a better backstop than a TV. I have a target setup where I can give my full attention to what I am doing, stand 7 yards away and about 50 feet behind that is a 6 foot high 8 inch thick concrete wall.

As far as I know you should be fine. Just don’t try to do same thing with CZ 52 unless you have aftermarket firing pin.

SIG's "classic P-series" guns are perfectly OK to be dry fired~! ;) :D

You can fire the Sig P series and the Pro series.

However, you CANNOT dryfire the Mosquito or the Trailsides.

All my Sigs have been dry fired thousands of times. It makes you a much better shot and smooths up the trigger as well.

Snap caps are cheap. If you're still to cheap to buy them, punch out a primer on a fired case and fill it with RTV, this will give you the same effect as the snap cap and you'll be able to replace it for literally pennies. After breaking one firing pin return spring from dry firing without snap caps I now view the practice as incredibly stupid. Considering the cost of fixing a gun, let alone having the "down time", the snap cap is a tremendous investment. I've seen another option which is to place a rubber o ring in the hammer slot thereby preventing it from striking the pin. Again, literally pennies and no risk of breaking the gun. The best part about snap caps is that you can practice clearance drills and reloads.
