...having a set of dummunition is great for practice. It's nice to have a training partner slip one (or more) into a mag so you can get some FTF reps in.
Dry fire away!
NEVER dry fire a rimfire gun (.22lr)
Practice doesn't always equal playing. Practice makes perfect and hittin' up the range isn't always an option.
Yeah yeah yeah SWAT teams do this or that, what ever. Seen this goat roped a hundred times before.
If you are not shooting, you are not practicing. You are playing. Guns are not toys.
Dry firing is practicing... I don't see what your point is. If you're just sitting there jerking the trigger, you are playing. If you are working on trigger control so the front sight doesn't move, it's practice. Dry-firing has been a way to practice trigger control for new shooters for awhile.
Would you tell someone in martial arts not to practice their katas without fighting someone, because if they aren't fighting, they are just playing? same concept.If you are not shooting, you are not practicing. You are playing.

So watching your front sight while you are dry firing to see if you're jerking the trigger and gain trigger control isn't practicing then right?Yeah yeah yeah SWAT teams do this or that, what ever. Seen this goat roped a hundred times before.

[/FONT]Experts agree that the best way to get the trigger pull down, once you know what it’s supposed to be, is to practice it. Dry-fire, or “clicking” the empty gun, is the best practice. The position of the sights when the gun goes “click” will tell you whether the shot would have been on target or not. The more thousands of these repetitions you perform, the more the proper trigger pull will be hard-wired into your mind and body to the point where you can do it perfectly in an emergency without consciously thinking about the details.
