What Is Dry Fire Good For?

[9mmepiphany]

If one is struggling with that in live fire, it won’t get better in dry fire UNLESS the dry fire is being used to focus on the grip.

This is very true.

Dry fire should be used to focus not only on the trigger, but also on one's grip...other wise it is pretty much wasted time. The unfortunate thing is that many folks weren't instructed in how to correct their grip except in Live Fire...that is a failure of instruction (by self or otherwise)

Dry fire is well spent time but it's all in vain if you don't get out and regularly test it with live fire.

You can even mix the two sometime if you want, it can be an eye opener.

If you reload load one with a spent primer and no powder and mix it in next time you go shooting. Not only do you get to see what your doing when your gun should go bang but just clicks, you also get a malfunction drill built in.
