    I actually enjoy the dry fire, I can feel the correct grip and technique along with trigger press ,the little nuances in technique that make a good shooter better.

    I have a dedicated dry fire mag. I still use it in live fire but it is getting really worn out between the two. The feed lips are starting to randomly spit out rounds during dry fire. I'll post a pic next time I think about it.

    Not sure why a magazine used for dry fire would have rounds in it.. Maybe that word doesn't mean what I think it does?

    When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.

    Dale's familiar with being a properly weighted dummy.

    Here's the photo. It doesn't look as beat up in the picture as it does in real life, but you can see the dent in the follower and where the polymer has stripped away from the steel on the right side and where it is lifting away from the left.Name:  photo mag.jpg

    Gotcha. Do you chamber dummy rounds from that mag as well?

    Yep. I still use it for live fire at the range with no issues at all as well, but I see those days are probably numbered.

    Went to the range today. Turned a crappy beginning into a mediocre day, but I identified some weaknesses. I did 100 draws before I started shooting.

    Now for some perspective. I was at a big match (the Bianchi Cup) with some of the world's best. I was squadded with Doug Koenig. I watched him do 100 draws before each course of fire.
