Hard to believe that it's been two years since I created this thread. People have asked me to do an update on the original video, and after finishing interim reports on my students today, I got to work.

The video below has 22 basic dryfire drills that I work on almost daily.This is just a primer...there are many other drills that one can do with a little running room and a few targets.

Enjoy :)

Very cool setup in the garage. That beats the 1 target I have hanging.

How much to you practice these type of movement drills vs actually pulling the trigger on an empty chanmber?

Jesse, I am not quite sure what you mean...I am pulling the trigger on every target for every shot. I have my Glock trigger setup so that I can repeat the trigger pull without needing to reset the striker. (Is that what you were asking?) :)

That is exactly what I was asking. How does one go about setting up the trigger in that manner? I don't feel like I get much out of dry firing becasue I have to rack the slide all the time to get the true feel of the trigger breaking.

It's hard to believe how effective dry fire can be. Even a lot of the tactical rifle shooters swear by it with their bolt guns. Thanks for the video as a reminder to get back at it.

What I do is place a piece of folded paper in the top of the breachface which keeps the slide just barely ajar. This allows the trigger to move semi-freely. To further the simulation, I drop in a NY1 trigger spring without its spring which makes the dryfire trigger 4-5lbs.

so the trigger isn't actually breaking you are just simulating it's weight?

Exactly. That is the best way to simulate a trigger pull without dropping the striker after each pull during dryfire.

So thats what I should be using my garage for! Moving to the garage should give me more space than my basement.

Great idea PB, thanks!

Very cool setup, thanks for posting. What size are the targets? (paper/poppers) and how did you make them?
Thanks.

I have heard good stuff too. Airsoft has its own little corner of the universe here on the forums: CLINK FOR LINK.
