Safe and Effective Dry-Fire Training at Home [Guide]

Hi,

That Mantis Blackbeard system looks amazing. I might just pick up one of those to go with my new AR. ;)

Since I haven't been able to keep up with my weekly range trips due to my seasonal employment, this is a good reminder to take advantage of my basement laser range a little more often. I have a few different snap caps but normally use the G-Sight laser cartridges. I have several in 9mm and .45. They are great for practicing everything but recoil management. Well, you have to rack the slide between shots just enough to reset the striker, so no rapid fire.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
I know a lot of folks do it, but frankly this just creeps me out. When you “practice” you are violating every rule of handgun safety I’ve ever seen or heard of. Yeah, I “know” it’s unloaded, but I also know a lot of folks have been killed by “unloaded” guns. If you can’t get to the range, get yourself an air soft replica or something similar and practice with that-completely eliminating ANY possibility of a fatal accident. Better yet, MAKE time to get to the range. Playing games at home with a firearm is a recipe for disaster. Let the flames begin I guess, but I’ve been shooting for more than 6 decades and the rules on safe gun handling have been drilled into me for waayyy to many years to change my mind now. If you feel you simply “must” then Please be VERY careful. Check, double check and then Triple check what you’re doing.

I completely understand what you are saying, and I totally respect your point of view. That said, where I practice in my home, there is NO ammunition and no magazines. The defense weapon is upstairs in a completely different area and my ammo is locked in a safe. I go so far as...the wall I have the target on - beyond that wall is vacant land. No homes, just trees. And I do double and triple check, because complacency kills.
