Well, there is "dry firing" but with every trigger I have experienced there is a definite detent and letoff, no matter how slight. That slight bit of crispness when the sear releases is what tells you - in dry fire - that you would have lit one off if you were live. Forgive me but I fail to see the benefits of repeatedly pulling a mushy trigger on an uncocked striker.

Read the previous comments. This is used to modify the pistol so that you can use it - without racking the slide - to do countless drills to improve your skill in IDPA or USPSA. It has nothing to do with trigger control.

@MemphisMechanic Why would you even need to rack the slide to perform these drills. There is no benefit it squeezing a mushy trigger. Help me understand please. I shoot IDPA and can't figure out why I would ever do this. Thanks

@ProxStud ... how else are you going to "shoot" an array of targets to work on your transition speed, while shooting an array of targets with two mushytrigger rounds each? Movement into and out of a position? Shooting on the move?

This lets you "fire" the gun with a funky trigger, yes. But if you want to dryfire those things... well, it helps if the trigger moves.

I'm going to take the battery out of my car, so i can practice starting it. you wouldn't understand because you are not a professional race driver.

How about explaining what you're trying to accomplish in the description area under the video rather than directing people to dig through 10 pages of comments?

I can't see how this would be useful. The break is not at all like the normal trigger break. Why don't you just yell bang bang and call that practice? It's probably just as beneficial as your "trick".

@itzbossman haha that's hilarious!

@MemphisMechanic Now I understand what you are wanting to do. You see. I just needed a clear explanation that made sense to me. It's better to feel the trigger go all the way back and forward to simulate when the next shot needs to be taken and then transition to the next target. Got it. Thanks for taking the time to explain. I am too cheap to purchase a practice gun that has all working mechanics but does not actually fire real rounds. :-)

@badflamenco I agree 100%

@tranvi007 Most modern handguns have no issues with Dry Fire. Many veteran competitors will dry fire their handguns thousands of times. This is not true for all guns so please read your manual. Just saying that most modern handguns have no issues with it. I still think Snap Caps are great. They allow you to practice other drills. Take them to the firing range and put one in your friends magazine to see if they can clear the failure without stopping to think about it. :-)

@offshorebear That's because this trick does not allow the trigger to function as it would in real life, so you will never get the break you describe. If you wanted to practice dry fire to improve your trigger control, I would not use this method.

@ProxStud, I agree 100%
