Dry fire damage
06/22/07 at 11:10:01

I am picking up a new PF-9 and I know it has been dry fired at least twice, once by the salesman and once be me. He said that dry firing wont harm it, but after seeing a Kel-tec manual online, I see it's not recommended. After owning Glocks, I never thought about it. Could this design be severely
damaged by even just 2 or 3 dry fires and should I be concerned? Thanks

My PF-9 has been dry fired many times (on purpose, at least 20 times) and performs flawlessly. By the way, if you are that excited about a gun, you need to get a life

This can break a small cross brace in the frame. This thread addresses this problem http://www.ktog.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=newpistol;action=display;num=118 0306033#lastmsg
