Silly Dry-Fire Question

Is it OK to cock the hammer with my thumb repeatedly, rather than moving the slide each time?

DaStray, how did the round get in the chamber if he didnt rack the slide?

Um... BKC45ACP, its a dry fire session. If someone is incapable of keeping ammo out of their gun during a dry fire session or is unsure how to check, then I recomend gunbroker.com. Sell em off before you hurt yourself. Shmackey, I always thumb cock during dry fire sessions as my Open gun is dotted so racking the slide is a wee bit harder. That and an 18.5 lb spring
. Another thing to NOT do, as rex already pointed out the half cock situation, is to drop the slide on an emty chamber. Ease it back down if you choose the racking method.
