a2holes Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I have been doing alot of dryfire with sti magazines. I load them with dummy rounds and do reloads on carpet with a yoga mat. Do you think the impact of hitting the ground could/would damage the magazines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe4d Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 eventually, but so is loading them. Eventually feed lips get out of spec, or crack, mag catch slot widens... I mean any movement or contact would wear something out. Eventually you will end up with some tubes that arnt 100% reliable. Mark those and use them for practice. At one time you could buy weighted plastic dummy mags. I have some for Para ordnance. I may have an STI around here somewheres. Google may find you some.

Yeti Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Just drop them on the carpet..they will be fine. Large gravel and rough concrete are the only surfaces that really make me grimace, but on the clock you need to do what you need to do. Carpeting is cushy compared to what you will eventually drop them on. Edited April 22, 2020 by Yeti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
