Got one of these, the price seemed on par with with GB sells them for and I wanted to a mousegun to replace the IJ TP-22 that blew up on me. As far as I know, it's not a pot-metal gun such as the Jennings/Bryco and the like. It seems relatively well-made, also very easy to field strip. Quite worn on the outside but I've given it a good cleaning and oiling so the action is smooth as butter. They do have a controversial reputation, with some people saying they're perfectly reliable, while others characterize them as jam-o-matics. I've got a few different brands/kinds of .22LR ammo so I'll be testing it before too long.
But to get to the point, just how do I de-cock this gun? Will it tolerate dry-firing? The slide doesn't lock when you rack it (although maybe it's not designed to) when the mag is empty, so then will it dry-fire if I pull the trigger after the last round is spent? What say the wise sages?
