Dear SMASH45, While dry firing probably won't hurt a 1911 I'd still suggest using them. The ten dollars or so you pay for a five pack will give you years of practice and peace of mind.
As for the .22 you should not do very much dry fire without them. In a rimfire the pin can hit the edge of the chamber when dry firing. This will certainly cause damage over a period of time. They make snap caps for rimfires too. Stay safe, Gary
