right, i dry fire all of the time.Dry firing can be a very productive endeavor. What you are trying to do is develop a uniform stance, grip, trigger control, sight alignment, breath control and getting the shot off in a timely manner.
Another exercise our instructor used to demonstrate the effect of the bottom three fingers is to use one of those spring hand exercisers. Close the handles and insert a quarter at bottom of the handles. While holding the exerciser closed, close your eyes and work your trigger finger back and forth. Every new shooter and some experienced shooters I ever saw will change the pressure on the grip handles and the quarter will fall to the floor when you move the trigger finger forward. The idea is to maintain uniform pressure.
i cant dry fire simulate a 9mm round going off in my hand, and the associated errors i fear im doing during the recoil impulse that is causing the gun to return slightly left of where shot broke.
not sure if my verbage is confusing. im doing 3-6 round dumps on index cards at 7 yrd and every shot i have to basically re-aquire aim because the previous shot recoil tracks left. presumably something in my grip. my splits are 0.5-0.7
single shot dry fire does not really simulate the recoil impulse that im battling. and accuracy really isnt the issue, it's the speed , which is being hampered, i feel, by poor recoil control. which im trying to curtail
