another benefit of dry-fire is safety. coopers four rules apply here and should be practiced religiously, especially rule number one. THE GUN IS ALWAYS LOADED ALL THE TIME.
check the weapon first, every time you handle it, and make sure it is unloaded. pop the cylinder out on a da revolver, open the loading gate and spin the cylinder on an sa, lock the slide back and remove the magazine on an automatic, open the breach on a single shot. get in the habit and you won't have to think about it. get in the habit and you will always know you have a loaded or unloaded weapon. may save your tv from an nd, or may save your life knowing your weapon is fully loaded.
oh, that rule about the gun always being loaded is for the shooters benefit. the gun doesn't care if it is loaded, or not. treat it as if loaded and you will not point it at the wrong thing and you will keep your finger off the trigger. and you will always check and make sure it is unloaded before you dry-fire.
