An Official Journal Of The NRA | Dry Practice Drills for Homebound Shooters

Many folks are homebound because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it's still a great time to hone your defensive pistol skills.

This is where having an airsoft analog of your pistol can come in really handy...

...analogue...

Sorry. Writing major. "Analog"= non-digital. "Analogue"= close copy.

This is where having a 20 yard pistol/shotgun range in your back yard and a 200/100/25 yard range 6 miles away comes in handy. I’ll probably actually go through more ammo than normal if I end up home bound.

I do dry firing with the kids. Gets them to get more comfortable handling and practice aiming with laser cartridges. Want them to get a comfort level with the gun and aiming technique down first.

Unless you shoot more than once a week, we should all be dry firing. Great way to diagnose grip issues, finger placement problems, and helps with staying comfortable with the weapon.

Make sure you are staying safe though. Triple clear the weapon, place magazines and ammo in another room. Only point the weapon in a safe direction.

I agree with the article and all of you. My basic advice for recruits while a firearms instructor at the police academy was, "Dry fire! Dry fire! Dry fire!". It is the only way to instill muscle memory when done correctly.

I actually use a SIRT for most of my dry fire training.

SIRT 110 - Next Level Training

The 110 Model has functional features of the Glock 17/22 (Not affiliated with Glock Inc.)

I watched this video when Trex dropped it and just hung my head in shame lol.

Shows what anyone is capable of when they dedicate time and effort.

Hope you reload?

I reload 12 gauge, .357 and .44 Mag.
9mm., .45 and .40 are cheap enough I don’t bother. I don’t shoot 9 and .40 nearly as much as I do .45 and 12 gauge. I have significant stock. Long before this ammo shortage.
