Currently, i use a Kel-Tec P32 in my bedroom because it fits where i need it to fit.Heres my issue.
1.I dont leave a round in the chamber and when i take the gun out to shoot it or examine it i like to dry fire it when i put it back in its resting place.Unfortunately Kel-Tec says not to dry fire their guns.I dry fire it after making sure the chamber is empty and then insert its loaded mag.I guess i could get a .32acp snapcap and leave it in the chamber after dry firing,but i would prefer not to do that as i would want to feed it from the mag to insure no future malfunction if i need the gun quickly.Im thinking i should just do the old "slide a pencil in the barrel eraser first" trick and dry fire and remove.I just need to figure out how far to insert the pencil to absorb the firing pin energy without causing possible damage.Is this a viable plan?
