For most pistols, it can damage the firing pin. This is not true for all pistols. Recommend buying a "cap" cartridge that is a dummy round that can be fed and dry-fired in an automatic pistol without causing damage.

Is it bad to dry fire an air pistol?

It's OKAY to dry fire a C02 pistol but do not dry fire a spring or pump pistol or rifle. When the piston in a spring pistol compresses the air inside the chamber to fire the pellet is actually slows down as it decompresses the spring piston just before it fires the pellet out of the chamber. This slowing down Keeps the piston from slamming against the end of the chamber and ruining it. When there is no pellet in the chamber the piston has no resistance and slams against the end of the chamber. This will eventually destroy the piston and the air chamber.
