You shouldn't have a problem, unless your firearm has a defect.

Use snap caps or dummy shells to give the firing pin something to contact.

+1 for snap caps.  Better safe than sorry.

Enough dryfire will break any gun.

If you do serious dryfire practice it's a good idea to use good quality snap-caps like AZooms. It's cheap insurance.

Other than .22lr's I don't have a need for range queens that can't be dry fired.

Also IMO snap caps are dangerous, chances of a ND go up big time for people that use them.
No rounds or snap caps are anywhere near my gun and chamber when I dry fire.

I dry fire EVERY handgun I own other than .22s or a few of the C&Rs.  

Dry fire at will.  It WILL improve your shooting over time.

I disagree with snap caps.  My concern would be mixing one up with a live round by accident.  Plus I don't feel they are needed or do anything beneficial.  YMMV.
