Most of what I do is manipulation practice using a pistol and magazines loaded with dummy rounds - practicing presentations with both hands and one hand, slide lock and tactical loads, reloading, as well as clearing malfunctions, one-handed, using either hand.

I also practice working corners, "slicing the pie", both sides, working against a mirror to check my form - one of the guys I work with had noticed that I had picked up the habit of cocking my head too much, so that the top of my head was the first thing which became visible. That isn't a good thing, and I'm working on correcting it.

My actual range time is spent doing stuff I suck at, like shooting while moving using one hand. If I shoot well, I know that I wasted my time by doing something I already know how to do well.

For safety reasons, I'm never going to be tasked with clearing malfunctions or reloading one-handed at a match - but I might well have to do that in a real fight. You only have to practice the things you want to be good at.
