not an argument, but maybe perhaps a debate.
i'd be suggesting at the very least, use "snap-caps".
NOW let the DEBATE begin

You can do anything you want to it! It belongs to you doesnt it?

To answer your question as written you “can” do anything you want because it’s your gun, I’m going to add if you don’t mind is should you?
There have been multiple discussions on dry firing firearms, and as expected many different views from many different people. Your owners manual has all the does and don’ts and if your still unsure you can always contact Springfield CS and ask them.
Will dry firing your 1911 RO cause damage to it? I actually can’t say yes or no. I have read not to do it!
I (have) to dry fire my XD Mod2 sub compact to remove the slide, aside from that I NEVER dry fire any of weapons.
Period. My opinion.

When I attended the Springfield Armory 1911 armorer course at IALEFFI 2 years ago the instructors told us to not dry fire a 1911. Not sure what the mechanism of harm is or how much harm is done, but that was the official word.

You can safely dry fire your 1911, just don’t drop the slide on an empty chamber, lower it with your hand

The .45 has more simulated recoil
