bucky707 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I have an HK USP compact. Is it ok to dry fire it, or do I need to use snap caps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19852 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 There will probably be some disagreement on this subject. But my thoughts are that you can't go wrong with some snap caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Size 10 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) I would use the snap caps..It's cheap insurance. For example, I also have 2 M&P's both with the older strikers that are known to break if you dry fire alot without snap caps..I've been using snap caps, probably a couple thousand dryfires, and guess what? No broken strikers,This alone really sold me on them. I also use them in my P-2000, like I said, it's cheap insurance.

CC712400 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I've got an early HK USP in 9mm that's been dry fired for years and years (probably 6 digit dry-firings?) with no problem. Snap caps aren't bad things to own though, and if you're worried about it, snap caps can't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennjen Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Just few words of warning. Older uspc may have older firing pin that has since been changed to address some structural weakness, which may break with repeated dry firing.
