Dry firing is basically shooting your gun without any ammo. You triple make sure that you gun is not loaded then you go through the process of shooting. It will tell you if you have the correct grip, pushing or pulling the trigger. etc. Alot of people prefer to use snap caps (plastic inert ammo that has a metal rim and primer) or an already fired shell to keep the firing pin from hitting thin air. It can cause problems on some guns.
