Re: Practice drills to get used to trigger pull of LCP

As said, dry fire is the key. And the laser will really help with this by giving some visual feedback as to target acquisition without firing live ammo.

I'd recommend a lot of consistent, slow dry firing until you're confident that you have the grip and trigger pull mechanics worked out. Practice this on very small targets (quarter size at across the room distances - the switch handle itself of a light switch works well) and watch that laser dot and try to move it as little as possible through the entire muscle movements of the full trigger pull and reset.

Then proceed to drawing from holster and quickly dry firing on a larger target - perhaps the light switch plate or a paper plate thumb tacked to the wall. By starting first slow and steady and getting the "proper" grip for you on the gun, this will give you a better base upon which to rely on for quicker self-defense type target acquisition. We all get sloppy when we go too fast too soon.

Remember: slow is smooth and smooth is fast

AND OF COURSE, MAKE SURE THERE IS NO AMMO ANYWHERE NEAR YOU WHILE DRY FIRING. ONLY EMPTY MAGS (IF YOU NEED THEM FOR A PINKY REST) IN THE ROOM WHERE YOU'RE DRY FIRING AND NO LOOSE AMMO.
