One more tip to keep your skills up..........


Have someone else load you mag. Have them slip in an empty casing at random intervals. (1 round, one empty; three rounds, one empty; etc.) Watch your front sight when the striker falls on the empty case. It should stay dead still. If it moves at all with no recoil............you are anticipating and over-compensating!

Have you actually tried this? I suspect few semi-autos will feed an empty case. A snap-cap, however, would work.

My Glock 31 feeds them fine. As you stated...on some semi's a snap-cap....or dummy round (dummybullet.com) might work better. No I don't work for them...I just use their products in my classes.
