Good day everyone. I’ve read a few posts on one should not dry fire .22LR s&w revolvers. What are your thoughts on dry firing my 686+? I don’t see any info on s&w’s site besides the warning to not dry fire.22LR. Love to hear what you have to say. Thanks for the input

I have yet to meet a winning competitor who did not dry fire. I probably dry fired 50 or more shots for every shot I fired in competition.
To those who feel there is nothing to be gained by dry firing, you are working the action (performing an action job) and increasing your ability to pull through the trigger without jarring the sights. You also learn to gauge when the hammer is about to fall and correct your sight picture. A good competitor can stop the squeeze mid way to correct a sight alignment and continue the squeeze. Follow through is also a component of dry firing. Sight alignment tells the story.
Damage to the revolver? Not in one properly set from the factory. And if damage was observed, the revolver was fixed.
