“Dry Firing” is practicing the trigger pull of the empty revolver for practice and familiarity.
The Super Redhawk revolver can be dry-fired without damage to the
firing pin or internal components.
Be sure that the revolver is unloaded before handling. Be sure of your bullet stop, even when dry-firing for practice. Do not dry-fire the revolver with the plastic ‘safety disc’ on the cylinder.
