2012-07-18 dry fire practice

/ hsoi

Following TLG’s sample dry fire routine.

Week 1, Day 3, reloads

  1. 10 reps of wall drill from press-out 2H
  2. 20 reps reload from slidelock, slow, 2H
  3. 20 reps reload from slidelock, 3/4 speed, 2H
  4. 10 reps reload from slidelock, slow, 2H
  5. 10 reps of wall drill form press-out, 2H

I need to get another set of weighted practice magazines, but I wish I didn’t have to buy through RINGS given my prior poor experiences with them. Well, I don’t need, but it does help to have magazines of full weight and that can also allow the slide to be cycled without locking.

  1. Load yourself some dummy rounds, no primer, no powder. Use nickel brass if you have some, so they are different from your standard reloads. Put them in a mag and mark the mag as dry-fire only with a Sharpie.

    • Yeah, I know about that one. But this ends up cycling the action, ejecting the dummy rounds, which I don’t want because 1. I’m lazy, 2. I don’t want to go chasing them all over the place 3. chasing dummies and reloading the mag slows down and distracts practice. 4. I’m lazy. 5. there is no #5.

      That’s why I liked the weighted blue mags, because they gave the weight and feel, the action could cycle, no “mess” to clean up.

      If there’s some way to make one myself with dummy rounds and somehow avoid the locking, I’d try it. I’m sure it’s do-able somehow… remove the spring, insert dummies… but how to secure them down and away from the feed lips?
