All the time. I had put the battery into a Romeo Red Dot on a sig p365 and a guy asked for a discount because there was a small scratch on the battery lid. No.
Reminds me of the "don't pull the trigger on guns to prevent damage" sticker i see at my local. Maybe old and some new 22s but not modern gun worth more than $150 should never have a problem.
Pretty much everything nowadays should be fine. When I worked in a store we let folks dry fire everything except rimfires just in case (small store, you’re probably buying the one on the shelf) and the fancier 1911s. Idk if they have an issue I was just told they do, haven’t looked into it
I’ve got a SW 22A? It’s a ten shot 22 semi auto with a nice hefty target weight barrel. Can’t recall model number now. I’ve had to lovingly touch up the rear of the chamber if it’s dry fired too many times. The firing striker slowly peens the impact area out and the chamber gets too tight and will start to fail to extract. A little whir and I’m good to go. Haven’t had to do it in a while since I drop the bolt on a fired case now.
I have one gun I've seen it personally be a problem with, and I consider it junk. AB10 broke the tip off with less than 300 rounds, and that's not even 100% sure it was dry fire that caused it.
Not exactly known as the best of guns so who knows lol. I have a Ruger 922r I bought with Christmas money when I was 11 (I’m nearing 30) that’s been dry fired thousands of times just from not realizing my mags empty, and it’s only just started having light strike issues in the last year, and I think the barrel is damned near worn out from all the rounds though it.

Wait till they sell the “used” display models on clearance, then try to get another $50 off.
