pandashorts Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I cracked open Steve's Refinement and Repetition tonight in hopes motivating myself to become a better shooter. I've shot a handful of USPSA matches here in Central Ohio, but it has been quite a while to say the least. I've always had fun, but I know that I haven't even come close to reaching my potential. This is the reason I've decided to make a commitment to more dry fire and practice, but I have some concerns. I had been shooting a Glock 34 in production and am wondering how effective the Glock will be for dry fire drills. Should I switch to a DA trigger (i.e. revolver,Beretta, etc.) for multiple trigger pulls? How can I best tailor Steve's excercises to suit me and my gun? Any and all advice is welcome and appreciated. Thanks upfront! -PS- A thousand pardons if this has been addressed, but the search results weren't exactly fruitful.

vluc Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 (edited) Just keep pressing the trigger. It doesn't have to "click" for dry fire to be effective. Edited May 23, 2007 by vluc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driver8M3 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 pull the slide back a tiny bit. now stick a tiny washer (or any other thin object) in between the barrel and the slide at the breachface. your trigger will now move back and forth. it's not the same as a real trigger pull...but it might be more useful to you than a single trigger pull.

Micah Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Chad, here's a link to a post I made about a similar topic: Linky With most drills, I usually press the trigger without dropping the striker. On drills that involve one or two shots that require a greater level of sight focus, I drop the striker on the first shot. YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerba Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I forgot where I read the info, but somebody makes a DF trigger for a Glock where it resets every time. I believe it's for DF only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 If you need the trigger work, then practice balancing a dime on the front sight and breaking the trigger without the dime being disturbed. After that trigger work (which shouldn't go neglected), much dry-fire is about seeing and coordination. Dry-fire really isn't all about firing dry.

sslav Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Chad, here's a link to a post I made about a similar topic:Linky With most drills, I usually press the trigger without dropping the striker. On drills that involve one or two shots that require a greater level of sight focus, I drop the striker on the first shot. YMMV. I had one of those from GLockmeister. Initially I was happy with it. But after only a few months of use, the spring broke and it is now useless. I was planning to contact Glockmeister but have not gotten around to it. In the mean time I've been doing fine without it (which is why I have not gotten around to replaing the spring). Overall, the product is not totally useless, but you could probably apply the $60 or so towards something more useful. Slav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halvey Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 As stated before, I just press the trigger twice (or 3x, or whatever. Then I make sure I am not dropping the front sight (which I tend to do). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
