What should be done immediately after dry firing?

Immediately after dry firing, it is essential to unload the firearm. This ensures that the firearm is safe to handle and eliminates any risk of accidental discharge. Dry firing, while a practice technique, is often conducted with a defensive mindset that prioritizes safety. By unloading the firearm right after dry firing, you maintain a responsible approach to firearm handling at all times.

While other actions such as storing the firearm safely or cleaning it could follow the dry firing practice, the most critical step is to ensure the firearm is clear of ammunition. Testing accuracy, on the other hand, is not appropriate immediately after dry firing since that typically involves live ammunition and would not align with the practice of ensuring safety first. Therefore, the key step is to unload the firearm to guarantee safety before proceeding with other actions.
