Parker literature also states clearly that dry firing the gun is fine.

So I'll ask the same question I asked over there: do you store 'em cocked, or do you dry fire 'em before putting them in the cabinet?

I dry fire before putting them away . I’ve never been an advocate of snap caps although I have no issue if a person likes them .

What about protection of ejector damage when opening up the gun that has nothing in the chambers?

Wayne, I open my ejector guns slowly holding my fingers over the ejectors at the end of the barrels to minimize or prevent possible damage to the ejector stop in the dolls head. Others may suggest a better way but this is the way I was taught by another Parker collector/shooter many years ago.

Thanks Bill, I will try to make your method a habit. Seems like a simple thing to do.

Stored cocked or uncocked, the springs are still under tension.
It realistically does little to help extend the life of the springs.
