Due to the convenience and value of the indoor range I am wondering if there are any recommendations for things to practice in that setting. Also, could you explain SRT?RKlenka wrote:It wont be easy.
It sounds like you can't draw, move, or shoot fast and all three of those are pretty important to self defense practice.
I would recommend finding a different range and get very accustomed to dry firing. One of those SRTs or a decent airsoft for your backyard would be a good idea as well.
I have one of the drop-in lasers that fits in the chamber of a real handgun. They are less expensive than the SRT but now that I have it I wish I had saved up the $$ and sprung for the SRT pistol. The drop-in laser works well but it is what is after all still a "real" handgun, and I have to be a little more careful with toting it around and securing it and whatnot.
The laser aid is great for practicing your trigger control and aim while dry-firing. Also the SRT pistol allows repeated trigger pulls, while with the drop-in type I must manually operate the slide between shots.
And as RKlenka alluded to, the "bang" part is a small (but important) part of the overall gunfight. Moving, drawing, etc, occupy a lot of the gunfight space, and are critical to getting into the position where the "bang" will do you some good. Many of those things you can practice outside the gun range. Eventually you have to put them all together of course, but a lot of the fundamentals can be practiced separately at first.
Good luck.
