Will Not Dry Fire.

The disconnector may not have reset, if you give it a good tap with your hand, a lot of times they will reset or just let the action slam close again. Dry firing is NOT a good idea, many firing pins have been broken this way. If you want to dry fire it, get some snap caps from Brownells or other gun shops. ALWAYS lower the action close when you are storing the gun, gently releasing the pin without dry firing, that way the firing pin is protected and the firing pin spring is relaxed when the gun is stored.
