Graves14 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Seems like a stupid question but when you all go through dry fire practice are you racking the slide between shots or are you just squeezing through even though the trigger isn't reset? im shootings a p30L V1 LEM so my second trigger pull is a heavy DA pull. Not conducive to muscle memory when I'm actually shooting. thanks, pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottieShootz Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Squeeze through. Don't rack the slide every trigger pull. Production, hammer down for DA pull and then just practice taking up slack for the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akaider Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I've seen a lot of people taking 3 shoots at the first target when they start with double action. I guess is a new shooters thing, just to make sure that got the 2 hits. Control on the double action will help a lot with that. Train yourself on that double action pull.

Graves14 Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 I don't think I explained that well. The only time I experience a heavy (10lb) trigger is in a "second strike" scenario. Otherwise the hammer is pre-cocked and it's a crisp 5lbs. My my question is more about how you practice dry firing. Even if you're shooting a Striker fired pistol like a glock the trigger doesn't reset so what do you all do? Just pull the trigger without resistance? thank you. pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reshoot Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I never do trigger work during dry fire. I, personally, don't think there is anything to be gained by it. All my trigger practice is in live fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graves14 Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Got it great thanks! Obviously, I'm super new to this. Appreciate the advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooldylocks Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Line up the sights and press the trigger every time. You are going to slap the trigger during stages. So you should practice doing it better during your dryfire. Also, a "white wall drill" is one of the greatest dryfire drills out there. Break the shot and do not allow the sights to move.

Broski Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I'm shooting striker fired and I rack the slide for the first shot... Any additional are pulled with a dead trigger. Not saying I'm right or wrong... Just what I do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 You can drop the striker on the first shot and squeeze on the rest, put the Glock slightly out of battery and squeeze on all, or switch to a P320 and drop the striker on the first followed by the reset click on all others.

rowdyb Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Just squeeze the "dead" trigger after your first pull. For most dry fire you gain quite a bit from "seeing" and "doing" tons of quality reps with just enough of that dealing with your trigger pulls. You can teach yourself a good trigger pull in dry fire, obviously. But once you've got that then you really need to be working on the other things you do in your dry fire. Unless your trigger pulls suck, then you need to do a lot of work getting that fixed first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanks Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 If using Steve Anderson's book, first 6 exercises are just lining up the sights and touching the trigger anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimm609 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 the biggest thing is practicing regularly. You have to stick with the dry firing to get the most out of it and it won't change you overnight, just stick with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
