I'll go against the grain here and say I like my SERT training pistol. It is not a substitute for dry fire, but it certainly can be an augment. 1. Makes dry firing fun. I'm more likely to pick it up a few times throughout the day and "plink" with it. 2. Excels at pointing out trigger control flaws, especially at top speed. I will mix in a few SERT runs just to make sure I'm still being as accurate as I think I am. 3. Helps point out what an "acceptable" sight picture is at different distances. This has given me a lot more confidence during matches and live fire. 4. Has really helped my strong and especially my weak hand shooting, focusing on a smooth trigger press. 5. Shooting on the move - again, lets you know how much your sight movement is really related to. It's not the be-all end-all solution, but I believe it is a helpful tool. YMMV, of course.

I'm no Master class shooter (yet ) but I'll share somethings that have helped me. When I practice dry-fire transitions I look at the target, move the gun to where I'm looking, change my focus to the front sight, then look at the next target and repeat. I find there are 2 main things that slow me down: 1. I can move the gun faster than I can move my eyes/change focus from target->front sight 2. I waste time/movement moving the gun to where I'm looking, by over or under swinging when I try to go fast, or on irregularly spaced targets. So there is a visual/eyespeed issue, and a hand-eye coordination issue. To try to overcome this I go in my bathroom where we have a wallpaper with lots of tiny irregular dots. I'll pick a color and just transition from dot to dot in a random pattern for a few minutes. This forces me to be very precise and prevents me from getting into a rut with target spacing. Another thing I will do is get a good sight picture with no target, and smoothly move my gun back and forth in increasing arcs, maintaining my sight picture and being extra aware of how my body adjusts to keep the sight picture. I've found this helps on wide splits like steel challenge, as I can look way over and bring my gun to bear with sights lined up.

I'd like to jump in! My goal is to make Master by the end of the year. Got a ways to go, but it's just a matter of putting in the work (and shooting more classifiers!) Chromepulse A71062

Great match! I met some great folks and look forward to shooting this one regularly!

Aftermarket firing pin issue? I have had them in the past with other custom trigger work.
