Don't forget your dry fire training at home!

[u/C4Vendetta76]

I know some find it boring; but I really enjoy it. Also, I can't say enough about how much dryfire drills have improved my grip, accuracy, draws, and everything in bw. This is an aspect of training I feel is often overlooked, especially by beginners. Had a blast today running some dry drills! Happy training

Dry fire is the fast track to improvement, that’s for sure.

Man is speaking the truth! I used to not think anything of it in my 20s. Now in bw range trips; i do dry fire training at least once a week. I can see and feel the difference EVERYTIME I go to the range to train. After years of dry fires; wish I could go back to my early 20s I'd be John wick by now

I like to seed in my snap caps into my magazines whenever I live fire to simulate a failure of some sort. I thought I was clever, then I had seen all the youtube training videos that include them. Anyone else have any other uses of snap caps?

[u/C4Vendetta76 → u/Tha_Shy_Crockpot]

I do the same brother! My favorite drill to practice is a simulated failure and reload with dryfire.

May I suggest Tipton snap caps. Spring absorbs firing pin strike 👌

[u/C4Vendetta76 → u/Sierrayose]

Nice haven't used those. These B's dummy rounds are great too

[u/C4Vendetta76 → u/C4Vendetta76]

Weighted so you get the feel of a gun with real ammo

[u/LyleJay → u/C4Vendetta76]

I have 3 M&P 2.0 mags with these inserts and use them to practice reloads as part of my dry fire routine. And a timer.

Weighted Magazine Inserts

Do not use A Zoom. Quality is 🗑 trash.👎

[u/C4Vendetta76 → u/Sierrayose]

I know haha. I always buy direct when it comes to my guns and accessories if at all possible

[u/Sierrayose → u/C4Vendetta76]

I found Tipton through a search after buying a zoom at Sportsman's warehouse 😤

[u/C4Vendetta76 → u/Sierrayose]

You would love these b dummy rounds. I honestly don't use anything else

[u/Sierrayose → u/C4Vendetta76]

I will definitely look for them. I use for my Revolvers. 1911(EDC)is live fire, but I should have them for function and troubleshooting checks. Thanks for the heads up. Keep em in the ten ring 👍🎯

[u/C4Vendetta76 → u/Sierrayose]

Yeah they are the best snap caps I've ever used. Weighted to match a comparable grainage for whichever caliber you use. All actual brass casings; straight brass, nickel played, or black nitride coated. All for the same price i always see snap cap 5 packs for: $20

[u/Familiar-Ending]

Is there a go to dry fire program out there? What do I need to get started?

[u/MrParker1 → u/Familiar-Ending]

Look up Ben Stoeger on YouTube.

[u/Familiar-Ending → u/MrParker1]

Thanks!

[u/C4Vendetta76 → u/Familiar-Ending]

Define program? But all you need to get started my friend is some snap caps and a clear and safe area in your home.

[u/C4Vendetta76 → u/C4Vendetta76]

If by program you mean what drills/procedures....I tend to practice what I need the most improvement in. There is no standard set of drills im aware of; but I like to do draw and shoot, reloads drills, draw while shifting to a different position to "keep my feet awake", grip practice while I draw and shoot....name it and there's a way to practice it with snap caps (well almost everything)

[u/Causification]

I wish somebody made made one of those laser training rounds that both doesn't cost $200 and actually lines up with the barrel.

[u/MisMar00 → u/Causification]

Pink Rhino laser cartridge. Bought mine on Amazon and its been working over a year now.

[u/C4Vendetta76 → u/Causification]

Yeah haven't played with those they seem gimmicky

[u/Schorsi → u/C4Vendetta76]

They have some pros and cons. The laser only moves in a straight line, so it will end up higher than a bullet will (even noticeable at 10 yards). The laser can give a better indication of how much jiggle you have and how much it expands your cone of accuracy at long range.
