I’m pretty sure I have to dry fire my .22 after re-assembly, or it would be stored with a spring compressed. Its rimfire....I have no idea if this hurts it, so I don’t do it often...but I don’t see a way around it.

Even a 22 isn’t going to be hurt by dry snapping it after cleaning to decock the hammer...

JUST USE A EMTY SHELL, PARTICULARLY FOR RIM FIRE

Save some spent 22’s and insert them when you “dry fire”. Make sure the previous hit is not under the pin. If it is a problem nip it off with some sharp side cutters.

Keep a used case for a snap cap.
