Dry Firing: Is It Safe for My Firearm?

I’ve been hearing a lot about dry firing recently and am curious about its safety. For those unfamiliar, dry firing is the practice of pulling the trigger on an unloaded firearm. I understand that many trainers recommend it for improving trigger control and overall shooting technique. However,

I’ve also read that it can potentially damage certain firearms, especially older models or those with rimfire cartridges. Can anyone provide insight into the safety of dry firing with different types of guns? Are there specific precautions I should take to ensure my firearm remains in good condition?

Thanks in advance!
