When Parker made the statement that it would do no harm to dry fire hammerless guns, they had been in the hammerless gun business for fewer years, than the number of years they have been gone. I am of the opinion, supported by the photograph below, that, while the occasional dry firing may do no harm, it also will do absolutely no good. In fact repeated dry firing will eventually do harm.
The auto makers may have come out with impact absorbing bumpers on cars 30 years ago, but I wouldn't make a practice of contact-parking.
