Do you ever practice or fuck around dry firing, I've seen mixed opinions here and wanted to hear what ya'll have to say.

I talked to my cousin whom is SF (Green Beret, seriously, not memeing), a competitive shooter and a police sgt. and they all pretty much had the same answer.

If you know the gun is clear, check the mag well, the chamber, the back of it and pinky the barrel and you know your gun is clear there is no danger practicing dry firing. My cousin and the comp shooter said they spend a good 10 minutes doing this before a judged shooting at the range or sometimes all day at home practicing triggering on little targets.

I know some safety hard heads will say always treat a gun like its loaded but if you check that it's clear 3 times and again, what is the arm practicing your sighting and your trigger pull?

One thing my cousin taught me I wasn't aware of is when you're aiming down the sight with both eyes you focus on the front site (handgun) and aim at the blur in the background. I always aimed at the target not focusing on the sight.
>>
>>33178604
You do that with any sight mate. Focus on the front post and aim at the blur.

I dry fire all the time. Just buy some snap caps of you're worried about breaking something.
>>
Yes, dry fire is excellent practice. Do it as much and as often as you can. Make sure you're actually getting something out of it though.

Grip the gun like you would live fire, focus on your front sight like you would dry fire, and WATCH HOW THE GUN MOVES. You want to make sure your front sight is as steady as possible throughout your entire trigger pull, and especially at the break.

Context dependent it's fine to have a soft sight picture on both the post and the target or even a hard sight focus on the target depending on range/skill/ability/confidence

kinesthetic shooting can shave time if you are comfortable when to use it

I agree, my whole life I've just heard from most people "treat the gun like it's always loaded" "never pull the trigger off ranger or you're shooting to kill".

Different generation? Safety myths? I've heard this a LOT. I guess from people without faith in their own safety.

OP, I agree and is what I do. Not the thread for it but I'm pondering what to get after my P320C, something more compact for CCW, and P250, 3000 Cobra, newer 1911 or something completely outside that box like a revolver. This is of course after I get my M1.
>>
>>33178771

I mean, all of that is within reason. Definitely treat the gun with some sense even if you've verified it's unloaded. Don't go pointing it at people and whatnot, but once you've thoroughly checked the gun, feel free to dry fire practice.

The biggest thing with the rules is not to get lax. Always keep in mind where your muzzle is, always double check if a gun is loaded when retrieving it even if you KNOW it was put away unloaded, etc etc. Just use common sense, and don't get complacent.

I'm a one platform shooter - all my guns are simple size variation of the same grip angle, trigger, controls and sights.

I never aim my gun at others or myself, I'm normally drawing and practicing like shit on my nendos, animu figures and gundam models. I treat my guns with absolute respect and never lax. Sometimes I check the chamber and mag even after I've dry fired 15 times out of habit. I try to stay as focused as possible.

To add to it. After 4 years in the Marines one thing I learned is flagging happens. Try getting in and out of a MRAP or climbing into a 7-ton without eventually flagging something with that big as A4. Even the "admin" carry of whatever they call it that's not aiming or at the ready puts the muzzle within inches of your foot. Pointing weapons at people isn't going to rip the time space continuum. It's bad practice because often you are the only one that's verified it's unloaded. Not the person you're flagging or at least then bystanders witnessing the flagging.

You don't have to be a metaphysicist to understand these truths.

My gunsmith told me except for some really old gun that had a bad firing pin design (don't remember specifics) and possibly rimfire that dry firing wasn't going to hurt anything.

I dryfire for at least 15 minutes every day. It is absolutely crucial to bettering yourself as a shooter. Every competitive shooter dryfires, the notion that you shoot live ammo doesn't mean you shouldn't dryfire.

People here love to bitch about how they don't have enough monies or time to go to the range. Dryfire is free and will help so much if you do it correctly.

This is an excellent read on dryfiring correctly

You should always treat a gun like it's loaded unless -YOU- -KNOW- its not.

Guns are not magical. They do not magically grow bullets. Once you check the gun, you know it is unloaded. If the gun LEAVES YOUR HANDS for even a second, you do not know it is unloaded anymore. Then you safety check again.

If someone hands you a gun, treat it like it is loaded UNTIL YOU KNOW ITS NOT.

You shouldn't make a habit of aiming at people or pulling the trigger at people, but if you clear the gun, it's cleared.It's safe to dry fire.

I work in Hollywood. We obsessively check and clear guns before handing them over to people. Every time the gun changes hands, it is cleared. Any time it leaves set it is cleared, any time it comes back it is cleared, it is cleared by the handler in front of any actor in the scene and at least one assistant director.

The point? Once you know the gun is empty, it is safe.

Basically when I finish hitting one target and my eye moves to the next and the first shot breaks - my focus on that first shot is still hard on the target and soft on the front sight post - you can earn time back shooting that kinesthetic first shot. With the follow up shots I transfer my hard focus to the front sight post because now neither the gun or my eyes are moving/transitioning and you can farm better accuracy on the follow up shots with no loss of time since the background and gun are now "static"

Front sight focus is #1. You should be able to tell exactly what is going on with your front sight from focusing so much.

You see some bit of holster wear on the top left side of the front sight and it's a bit shiny? You're doing a good job. See a little piece of your dog's hair on the right side base? You're doing a good job.

The reason why you see so many competitive shooters with fiber optic fronts, photoluminescent fronts and blacked out rears is because their eyes have to go to that front sight immediately without accounting for additional dots.

Do structured dryfiring, learn how to properly grip the pistol and focus on the front sight, I'll promise you that you will become a better shooter.

You could also get a little laser light that goes into your barrel so you can practice shooting without actually shooting. You won't get the feel of recoil but it's a good way of telling whether or not you're lining up your sight picture right.

They don't even allow live ammo on set which should be obvious. Hollywood goes through insane checks which makes Brandon Lee's death so bizarre and many believe a murder,

I doubt I'll be believed but he my GB cousin was on the team along with some rangers that saved Luttrell. He said he got to the point and radio'd in they were ready and they ended up having to wait for the rangers to catch up. He said the movie was utter trash. He's friends with a SEAL member on facebook and he said 13 Hours was very accurate as far as a film goes. I'd have to email him for some pics which I'd obviously have to blur but that would be for another thread. He's very open with the stories he is allowed to tell. Very, very cool dude. I look up to immensely. I'm going to visit him this summer and spend most the time at the range shooting shit (literally and figuratively)

Are those different than "night sights"? My P320C .40 is NS version, I haven't gotten around to changing the sights yet because it's not first on my priority list and don't know enough to know what to change it to. I'll probably save and do whatever modding / buying new accessories and maybe a new piece when I visit my cousin in the summer.

>>33179769
>Hollywood goes through insane checks which makes Brandon Lee's
Hollywood is definitely also very, very, very busy and moves very fast. By the time you've checked the same gun 9 times in an hour, sometimes an AD might wave you off and just assume you did your job. There are multiple safeties in place and it takes all of them going wrong at the same time to end in a tragedy, but it has happened.

Live ammo should never be on set, true, save for a few reality show examples. But even a blank is dangerous.

The Brandon Lee death was one of those things were a bunch of shit went wrong in a row.

The biggest NO-NO that happened was the property guys made their own dummy cartridges. They must have forgotten to buy them or prep them before hand. So they took live ammunition, pulled the bullet, dumped the powder, and re-seated the bullet. Problem? Live primer. The primer needs to be fired off before hand or you need an already dead primer, or a false cap.

So they do the scene or rehearsal or whatever with the dummy rounds, trigger gets pulled, primer goes off, just enough power to push the .44 slug into the barrel.

That is all "Problem 1."

Problem 2 comes in the safety check after - when the guy empties the gun, he doesn't realize one of the shells is missing the bullet. Maybe he isn't the one who loaded it, so he doesn't know.

Problem 3. When loading the blanks for the next scene, the property guy, the actor, and the AD team all fail to do a clean barrel check (shine a light down the barrel).

Problem 4. The actor shooting the weapon aims directly at Brandon Lee. Because of camera angles, etc, 99% of the time you don't have to aim at the actor, you aim off to the sie.

Revolver blanks are usually full power loads for flash, blank goes off, pushes the slug out of the gun and into Brandon.

All those problems needed to happen and they did and Lee basically got shot by a .44 Mag.

>>33178604
Unload. Make sure no ammo nearby. Insert snapcaps. Dry fire till your fingers bleed.

As a precaution, I aim my first shot at a safe direction like the ground or sky.

>>33180034

Photoluminescent is one of two things.

Option a) is that dumb bullshit HK and other Euro manufacturers put on their sights because tritium is restricted in Fuckneckville or whatever bullshit country the Eurotrash live in. There's no good reason to have this alone because it has to be charged with a flashlight or sunlight and the glow only lasts a few minutes if not constantly exposed.

Option b) is a ring of paint around a tritium front sight that will gather light and be bright as fuck during the day and do well in transitional lighting. See: lots of stuff from Ameriglo and Trijicon HDs. It's gonna be orange or yellow. It's the same shit they paint traffic signs with.

I been looking into the laser guns that let you shoot at a screen anywhere, not sure if it simulates recoil, gotta look into that. They're dope as hell though. Uploads your spread and all sorts of meta data, for that I'd assume it'd have to have some recoil. I'm sure someone will find it before me but let me try to find the product.

SIRTs are cool and all because they have a resetting trigger. Never tried one with a laser target but I've seen some pretty cool setups with projectors and a program for PC and a webcam that'll basically allow you to play video scenarios and shoot at them with recorded hits.

Setting aside a laser target, however, I found the laser distracting for pure "dry fire" use with the SIRT. Apart from the reset (which feels nothing like my Glocks) it does nothing that dry firing a Glock won't do.

I'm referring to things like Trijicon HD fronts or one of the many Ameriglo sights. See the bright orange/yellow paint on the front?

Those are standard three dot night sights. I hate the fact that most people are convinced that "night sights" are they way to go for upgrading from regular white three dots. They really don't do that good of a job for quickly getting a proper sight picture.

Look into some Dawson Fiber optics, Ameriglos or the Defoor Ameriglo sights.

I'm not entirely sure the Defoor Ameriglos fit on the P320 and I think they were intended for the P220/P226 style sigs as opposed to the P320 but they should fit since they do share the same sights (i.e X-Rays)

This is a pretty good read about the Defoor Ameriglos

Looking at that picture isn't a real good representation of what kind of sights you want to get. Best suggestion, buy different sights and shoot timed drills such as Bill Drills and see which one you shoot best with.

Trijicon HD's are really good barring the fact that the rears can be sharp, making carry uncomfortable but you can always get a blacked out rear and the Trijicon HD front only.

Also Sig makes the X-Ray sight that is essentially a Trijicon HD but with a green photoluminescent front. I actually own the same exact gun pictured on the left and really prefer it over to the Ameriglo Proglos I have on my Glock 19. The Proglos being pretty much Trijicon HD"s but with a black rear.

Man, Primary & Secondary had so many good podcasts pertaining to things like lumens, tritium and a whole bunch of other shit. For some reason, they deleted most of them.

Not really a "shooting" video but an eye opener.

It's a very good idea to have some profiency with one handed shooting both with your strong and support side hand.

I own one of pic related and heard that dry firing them could damage the firing pin because it is sintered.

Is this true?
>>
>>33180629
Pretty sure you shouldn't dryfire with empty chambers on a revolver but what you can do is load it completely full with snap caps and dryfire all day long.

>>33180634

Yes thats what I do.

But I was told that it is just with this model because the firing pin was sintered and could break if it doesnt face resistance.

And apparently no gunsmith could fix that because you woud need a special press from colt that they only have in their factory (not sure if it is still there and functional) to press a niw firing pin into the gun

>snap caps

So what's the deal with these snap caps or rounds that fire but do no damage, don't penetrate, etc. Something maybe like the paintball rounds and other things I see used in stuff like live fire team vs team training?

I'm not well versed in revolvers so I couldn't tell you. What you can do is hit up the revolver section on pistolforum and possibly ask them. They have a lot of the more serious shooters that would definately have an answer to this.
>>33180668
Snap caps have spring loaded firing pins that give the firing pin something to hit against, absorbing the force of the firing pin instead of causing wear on parts such as the firing pin.

Most manufacturers will tell you that it's fine to dryfire modern pistols but any sort of extended dryfire session should be conducted with snap caps. I have broke the firing pin retaining pin off my P226 doing so much dryfire without a snap cap.

There's Simunition which is the non lethal training ammo you typically see used in force on force scenarios for LE and MIL guys.

Note the blue all over these guy's kit. Those are all guns converted to simunition.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll look into grabbing some, what happens when you actually fire them? What do you think of simulation ammo for target shooting for something like the back yard as retarded as that sounds. First I imagine it's expensive. Are they loud? Is it viable to use to train with on targets?
>>
>>33180884
The video explains most of your questions but for quickness sake

>What do you think of simulation ammo for target shooting for something like the back yard as retarded as that sounds.

They're not cheap so I would rather use something like airsoft. You don't really benefit from using simunition on anything but other people

>Are they loud?

They're hearing safe, no requirement for earpro

>Is it viable to use to train with on targets?

You don't really get the same recoil as a live gun so most likely not.

Oh I ADORE my 320 for the price of the different caliber module, unless I was quoted wrong, I'd rather just pay for another new (or used) gun of a different caliber. I think it's 300 or something to switch 9mm, .357 or 45 but I would just like another Sig to be honest. I love the strike fire but something with a hammer would be fun too, I was wondering which of the P2xx series is preferred by most. I was thinking about getting a 9mm so my mother could use it, she a nurse that gets called out to some nasty areas. On the second hand, I'd like a .357 also but don't want to switch out my 40. 45 would be nice but I feel like .357 or 9mm is the way to go for what I'm looking for right now. I'd just get the different module to change the caliber but I'm in collector mode and want as many guns as I can reasonably afford.

Honestly, I'm not sure. This is the first time in a LONG time that I've felt this passionate about a hobby and dare I say lifestyle? Overall I just want to better myself. I see my shortcomings and know I have a LOT to learn so it's time to grind it out and get to it.

I want to get better at focus and cognitive shooting, get my reaction time up, work on the obvious things like accuracy and grouping, general stuff at first. God there is so much I don't know where to start or end. I'd like to take as many classes as I can afford if the instructor is worth a damn, I want to start as an amature obviously but get into competitive shooting. Home defense needless to say,

Once I get a rifle, meaning not my Pa's 30-06 but something like an M1 I plan as my first rifle then go from there, hard to say. Maybe try to find a CHILL militia that isn't all Fudds or tacticool people roleplaying SF. I can't say for sure. I just want to better myself at every opportunity and see where my ambition, skills and limits collide. I just want to constantly better myself.

It's good that you see it as a martial art or a lifestyle rather than a hobby, that's the first step to rising above the rabble.

Most gun owners are like old lady spinsters - hording beanie babies or some other stupid fucking materialistic thing irreverent to life. They live to brag about accumulating physical material items that do nothing except take up space.

Dryfire, dryfire dryfire (not just pulling the trigger - but repeating repetitions on variations actions essential to the "martial art", treat everything as a martial art, your gun is not a brand, it's a tool that needs to work, if it doesn't, replace it with something that does.

Get a class with someone like Darryl Bolke, Wayne Dobbs or Tom Givens. They will not only better you as a shooter, they give information on defensive shooting like how criminals behave.

I just ordered Tom Given's book called "Fighting Smarter" that covers a lot of things from skills, mindset to hardware like gun and holster selection. I heard from various people that it's an incredibly good read if you're interested in self defense.

I might attend one of his pistol classes on April.

One interesting tidbit is that he actually has 94 students that survived lethal force encounters with only 3 that got killed because they didn't actually have a gun on them the time they needed one.

Lucky Gunner has a good Youtube page pertaining to defensive shooting

I'm loving the sights. First time I've ever had tritium sights on a pistol. Since they're already suppressor height, I think I'll pick up a threaded barrel so I can throw a can on it one day. Besides that, all I'd really do is get a grayguns trigger for it and maybe a surefire XC1 since it was clearly built to fit the P320C perfectly

>and maybe a surefire XC1 since it was clearly built to fit the P320C perfectly

You need to look at what you intend to do with the gun before getting an XC1. If you have your P320C as your HD gun, don't compromise on size and get an X300 Ultra or TLR 1 HL. If you plan on carrying and want a weapon light that isn't as bulky as the two I mentioned, get the XC1. The X300 Ultra has ~500 lumens, the TLR 1 HL has ~800 and the XC1 has only ~200.

But do note that several XC1's have durability issues and are one of the Surefires that usually have to get sent back more than others. Ontop of that, I've heard they have not so good controls compared to convential fullsize handgun lights.

There is also the XC2 coming out later this year that has a built in laser and 'improved' activations switches.

I just stick with my handheld light for conceal carry.
>>
>>33181485
I already have a TLR-1 on my TP9SF. I was looking at the XC1 for possibly CCing my P320C. Right now I carry an M&P9 shield but was looking to upsize if I can find a holster setup that works well.

I hadn't heard about durability issues with the XC1 but I'll look into it. Not big on lasers and I like that it runs off AAA batteries.

I used to carry a Shield in an Incog holster AIWB. I can comfortably carry a Glock 19 or PX4 Compact with a JM Custom George.

With the George holster, it does an excellent job in tucking in the gun tight to my body so I'm able to get away with carrying larger gun since it's appendix. I'm not forcing you to carry appendix but give it a consideration while understanding the potential dangers and how to mitigate that. If you can carry a Shield, you can carry at the least something Glock 26 sized or an M&P9C. It is absolutely doable with the right belt and holster combination.
