Dry Firing

I know know on some pistols dry firing will total the firing pin, and on others it doesn't. Is the P64 safe to dry fire?

With makarov.com out of business, where would be a good source for 9x18mm snap-caps? Not exactly an 'off the shelf' size at most places...

I have purchased a pack of A Zoom previously from Ebay for $14.50, but shipping was nearly 5.75.

Seller is Lippmann Enterprises I think.

A spent casing works fine for a snap cap as well.

i made snap cap myself using empty case. i removed primer. next i made "primer" from rubber and glued into case. bullet i carved from wood. it works fine for me.
