You might also consider using action proving dummy rounds. These will have a primer that is spring loaded, so that when the firing pin hits them, the power of the spring behind the primer will absorb the force of the firing pin strike. And you can load them in the clip and safely test the pistol for feeding and ejection this way too. (But this is no substitute for checking the headspace!)
