Maybe it has already been asked and answered, but could someone explain to me why you would even dry fire a firearm like a sig 229? I know people will say that you do it to be completely sure it isn't loaded, but...why even take that risk? Just assume it's loaded and leave it be. You've already done several checks to ensure it isn't loaded, and if you somehow did miss a chambered round then it wouldn't matter anyway as you'll assume it's loaded anyway and check it again when you pick it back up.

If you're worried about someone accessing it who isn't careful with firearms then even if you did dryfire you will have failed. I only pull the trigger on my p228 if I plan on shooting at something, otherwise decock and leave it be.
