That is how i would test it,I knew a guy pawned his colt commander 45 when he got it back he was carrying it and about 2 weeks later went to the range,first shot was a click,no fire pin hit,he disassembled his gun and apparently somebody else at the pawn shop had disassembled it and put the series 80 firing pin block in backwards,the pencil test would have shown a problem immediately,thank god he didn't need it during that timeWithout a snap cap you could try a pencil down the barrel. Eraser first and the firing pin should launch it out of the barrel.
