I just bought a new NAA 22 Mag and I was wondering if I would damage the gun by dry firing it.

Do not dry fire with a plastic bullet make for this.  The firing pin makes direct contact, not good I don't thing.  Steve

The NAA Short I use has a firing pin that stops just before it would contact the cylinder, when dry fired.  The hammer, behind the base of the firing pin, hits the frame and this stops the hammer.  Don't know if they are all like that but removing the cylinder will prevent contact with the cylinder. 

Dry firing stops the hammer more abruptly than firing a cartridge, the faster the hammer stops...the greater the forces on the hammer, the frame and the pin the hammer rotates on.  Greater forces cause increased metal fatigue.  I don't dry fire mine for that reason, metal fatigue.  Placing spent cases in the cylinder, rotated so a fresh place on the rim will be struck by the firing pin, would be much like firing a cartridge and should cause no more metal fatigue than firing a cartridge.  Each spent case can be used for several dry fires.

The gunsmith I talked to  at  NAA told me I could dry fire it all I wanted.

They say dry fire all you want with the cylinder removed........

Not True, it would cost NAA a fortune in shipping and labor if damage occurred.
Pretty simple, remove the cylinder for dry firing.

If the firing pin on the hammer does not make contact with the cylinder when dry firing there is no reason to remove the cylinder.
Most of the time I dryfire with spent brass in the chambers anyway, but I never rotate them, and have never had the firing pin chew through the brass to the cylinder. Brass used over and over, and the firing pin dent only gets so deep.
