Just curious....
I recently got a Taurus 709 and like most of them they have that safety screw that locks the slide down. In order to engage the lock you have to pull the trigger, I guess to de-cock (might not be the proper term) the gun.
I cringe every time I have to dry fire it because I have always been under the impression that it's not really healthy for the gun. Could do damage to the firing pin. Am I correct on my thinking? Should I just go and get a trigger lock or something else to avoid having to dry fire it?
