I bought a brand new LCP 380 today and absolutely love it! I shot 50 rounds with it and zero problems. My question is does it matter that i pull the trigger(dry fire) with the gun disassembled and the slide off? The reason I did is cause I just wanted to see how the hammer functions. I did it a few times...Thanx!

Probably didn't hurt anything with only a few pulls.

Does the manual say anything about dry firing?

 

[coolhand35]

No sir it doesn't

 

[coolhand35]

So will it affect anything?

No sir it doesn't

Then I wouldn't get too worried about it unless an LCP guru posts something to the contrary. But would question the continual practice of it just to be on the safe side. Other Ruger pistols DO have warnings about such 'half disassembled' practices (P345 comes to mind).

I take the slide off my Stoeger Cougar and examine the trigger's actions sometimes. Hasn't made any difference yet as far as I can tell.
