Re: THE DISCONNECT BETWEEN RANGE MARKSMANSHIP & GUNFIGHT MARKSMANSHIP

Great info. I train using a laser dry fire technique. The laser is similar to a sight laser, but it activates off the firing pin. It's a great option for training because the laser will light up the exact spot you would have hit. I practice mostly quick draw no sights or even barrel, just instinct. I do multiple exercises, standing, sitting in recliner, couch, walking into room. Etc. The laser stays in the chamber as long as you rack the slide just enough to reset it. If you pull it back all the way, you have to remove the laser everytime. I use a pencil to remove it when I am done. I usually aim for certain spots. For example a light switch when inside, or a picture frame, etc. Outside is a bit harder... the daylight hides the laser of course.

Note: for safety, I always unload the gun, clear the chamber, install an empty magazine, and put the live ammo in another room. Always! Once I am finished training, I clean the gun and set it down for at least 30 minutes... mainly to break the cycle of quick drawing. This may not be necessary, but I take no chances. I want my training session to be a completely separate event... if that makes sense.

Thanks again for the above info.
