Since most of us are in house arrest. Dry firing is a great way to practice. Carl has a very good video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBZhV-bySFM

He is a very good person and teacher, who can not only tell you how to shoot, he can show you. He is also a very good medic. He also offers classes that can be found on his website.

I just bought and like the ITARGET SYSTEM.

I've been kicking that idea around. Why not start a thread and give a review. It would be interesting to hear your take on it.

I will try and do a video on it and here is a video I found online.

Be careful about dry firing. You can break firing pins. I once saw a Savage shotgun spit a firing pin across the room when it was dry-fired.

I am a fan of dry fire.
several things you can do with it.

learning your trigger , maintaining sight picture through the click , place a spent casing on your slide and keep it there through the click.

I don't put as much value in dry fire trainers as some.

this is an issue in older guns more than modern guns the AR and glock pistols are very dry fire safe and you should have a spare firing pin any way.

most modern self defense pistols are dry fire safe.

I have had them break , it was an older shotgun. go firing pin shopping first if it is un-avalable or too expensive pick a different gun.

many may not know Ruger 10/22 are actually a dry fire safe 22lr

I did that very thing with my first gun. It was a Sears and Roebuck 20 ga. Single shot , pulled the trigger and heard a tink , tipped the gun upside down and out it came.

Add to that drawing, off hand drills, one hand racking and mag change, drawing from various positions

You can always use snap caps in your dry fire drills to reduce the risk of firing pin damage.

Have someone load your mag with snap caps and live rounds at range day. This will get you better with handling malfunctions and shot anticipation.

DO NOT get snap caps that can be easily mistaken for live rounds. The pure red ones are best so there's no confusion. There's some with aluminum casings and just the "bullet" is a florescent color. That mistake might be fatal

I dry fire practice with my flintlock rifle almost every day and have for about the last 20 years. Replace the flint with a similarly shaped piece of wood and it doesn't wear out the frizzen. Work your hold, trigger control, and most importantly work the follow through. Only with dry firing can you see the mistakes made that are otherwise hidden by recoil, and then correct them and maintain the muscle memory to keep them corrected.

X2 I just can't bring myself to do that after years and years of being taught not to.
