So I come to you guys, is it safe to dry fire a modern revolver? He said something about crystallization or something like that.

This thread has been done a billion times. Modern day fire arms are safe to dry fire...Just don't cowboy slam the cylinder in, that can ruin it.
I've been told you can dry fire a revolver if it doesn't have a hammer mounted pin. I do it to my 637 all the time but have snap caps to practice reloading with. Read the manual?

>implying that I bought it new
Last person that dry-fired my 626 got punched in the face.
Fucking kids at least ask if you can do it. By the way dry firing is NEVER a good idea.

good god, modern vs old has nothing to do with it
Dry-firing is generally OK with any gun that shoots centerfire ammunition
Dry-firing is almost never OK with any gun that shoots rimfire ammunition
so dry-firing is fire for any common cartridge besides .22
and if someone else owns the gun, ask before dry-firing and, of course, check the chamber
>>29991590
Yes

Basically, if it has the firing pin on the hammer, it's not a good idea to dry fire it. Although, once in a while won't destroy it.

The point is that a centerfire firing pin pushes forward into empty space when dry-firing, and rimfire firing pins (unsurprisingly) can contact and damage the chamber where the brass would have normally been contacted
