Anyone know of this to be true or, just some more AI nonsense? Google Search

After extensive searching, I have found it's safe for dry firing. Of course I would crazy on it every day. I just do it for adjusting trigger etc.

Love that AI information. You note that the AI lists its source of information as a Reddit thread. Just a confirmation that - If you read it on the internet you know it's true!

I got the info on a couple different forums. After trying 15 or 20 times I see no indication of the breach face being struck. When first receiving the gun, it had a shiny area on the breach face. I finally took a qtip and it wiped right off. And after dry firing it hasn't came back. No, I don't trust AI much. Googled socket size needed to replace coil packs on my car. AI said 17mm I just laughed. Actual size was 7/32" lol!
