No worry about damage to the pin. You might however find the stock firing pin spring strikes too lightly for some military primers. Seen this a few times with 7.62 (308) and 30-06 surplus in new bolt hunting rifles.
Just don't do much dry-firing. That's how most pins get broken. Use snap-caps, if possible, but we all do it once in a while. Newbies often do it too much, especially with .22LRs!
I have a 1974 production Rem 700 that I conservatively estimate has had 100,000 dry fires with no snap caps. It still works fine. Some shotguns, particularly doubles and most older 22's don't handle dry firing but it won't hurt most modern firearms at all. But always read the instructions. Kel-Tec does not recommend it on at least some pistols, and the Ruger 345's could be damaged if dry fired without a magazine in the gun. With an empty magazine it won't hurt it at all. This was due to an unusual type of magazine safety on that model Ruger.
