Hello,
I recently bought a very slightly used Smith & Wesson SW1911, The previous owner had less than 100 rounds through it. When I was cleaning it I was trying to adjust a few things and wanted to make sure I got the hammer all set, without thinking (I know i messed up please dont focus on this bit), I dry fired the hammer anywhere from 12 to 30 times without he slide on. How Bad did I screw up and did I do any permanent damage? I paid 700 and it was in great condition so I hope not. I did this to my AR-15 for a while without even realizing it. Changed the trigger to a nicer setup as well but obviously it doesnt damage the trigger as much as the frames and assemblies. If you could give me input to pros, cons or if I am just over reacting in one or both cases I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Definitely not the best thing to do to either. I have a little bit of experience with 1911. I do have quite a bit of experience with ARs.

The hammer in most ARs will contact the bolt stop before the frame. The bolt stop should be fine, but can’t tell for sure.

This is a perfect example of what not to do to an AR or 1911.
Don’t do that shiOt again.

No more watchin Netflix while I clean my guns ....

How this got so off topic I do not know, nor do I get the references.
