I dry fired my 1-1/2 frame VH12 yesterday when I was ready to put it away and when I fired the left bbl the gun rang like a bell. I think the hammer hits the frame when there is no shell in it and just triggers a resonance when all factors are just right. If the hammer had hit a firing pin it wouldn't hit the frame, if I have my vision of the internals correct. I've never really noticed it before but I v rarely dry fire them. This one sure rang with a good high-frequency tone of relatively short duration.
