I am new to pistol shooting. I just purchased a new Kimber Gold Match II (.45ACP) and want to be sure I begin my shooting WITHOUT creating bad habits at the line. Initially I want to learn the fundamentals of the grip, stance (for basic target shooting; no fancy footwork), sight alignment, etc. Can you recommend a DVD and/or books that would do a great job for someone new to the sport?
Additionally, I have heard conflicting opinions about the harmful effects of dryfiring. I understood that dryfiring is ok with a centerfire; in fact, if I read the Kimber manual correctly, they say to NOT slowly drop the hammer but instead pull the trigger to lower a cocked hammer. I did hear dryfiring is not a good idea with a rimfire (like the S&W 41 I have ordered).
Thanks!
