Not sure about the Rough Rider but I have a Barretta Stampede and they supplied a plastic disc to insert between the cylinder and frame for dry firing. I would expect that you can fabricate something similar to keep the hammer from doing any damage.Recently got one of these Rough Rider 22lr revolvers.
Open question: if I remove the cylinder from the gun, can I dry-fire it without damaging anything? The reason I ask is the owners manual says dry-firing will harm the gun because the firing pin will strike the cylinder and damage it, so if I remove the cylinder am I good to dry-fire?
I think if the safety lever is blocking the hammer then dry firing wouldn't damage anything, but I could be complete wrong.Recently got one of these Rough Rider 22lr revolvers.

I believe the safety bar only blocks the hammer if the trigger is not being actively pulled. So, it would do little to protect during dry firing...but I could be completely wrong.I think if the safety lever is blocking the hammer then dry firing wouldn't damage anything, but I could be complete wrong.
