I heard dry firing a glock is okay because its required to take down the weapon for cleaning...it was designed to be dry fired from time to time

[millerusaf]

@BlueCollarSurvival That's true. Dry firing won't hurt a Glock.

So Miller, you are saying that if you go to the range everyday and shoot but don't dry fire you are missing out on something? Dry fire is good but it can never replace live fire. It all just depends how much time and money you want to put into it.

[millerusaf]

@gboyd242 Nope. The average person can't get to the range everyday. Because of that dry fire needs to be something done often. Dry fire is where techniques are perfected because it can be done without spending money and can be done anywhere in the home for as long as the person desires.

aww come on miller youve never done an office pop before? lol

[millerusaf]

@1gamoguy ROFL @ office pop :)

[Kevin32001]

@1gamoguy Desk pop! But still funny :D

@gboyd242 *dopeslaps* Don't be a tard, gboy242. You know damn good and well Miller meant in addition to live fire practice.

@gboyd242 Live fire is, by most considerations, better, more realistic practice obviously. However, dry fire is a hell of a lot cheaper, and can reveal idiosyncrasies in your shooting that live fire is too "violent" and fast paced, due to recoil and follow up shots, to reveal. They go hand in hand, especially when a shooter is initially learning proper shooting habits.

@silenthk47 The A-Zoom brand that he has in this video are good, but not cheap. Snap caps and dummy rounds aren't exactly the same--usually snap caps are made to have a firing pin repeatedly dropped on their simulated primer and take that abuse. Dummy rounds, on the other hand, are cheaper, but don't hold up as well, and are meant more for failure drills, etc. Magpul makes a small selection of dummy rounds that are made of a tougher-than-usual plastic.

You don't need snap caps with a centerfire weapon.

[91Roadwarrior]

I wish I lived on a range....but that's why I have snapcaps.

[ThePatriotGunner]

Very well stated in this video. Practice, practice and practice is most important for anyone who carries consealed so that they are comfortable with their firearm.  Thanks for sharing.

[silenthk47]

Any snap cap brands you would recommend? /any ones to stay away from?

[SFsc616171]

Sure, you can shoot at the range all day, if you have the means! BUT!! You will be so much on your flash-sight, you might not notice that your piece dips when you shoot, and you don't catch it, because you are already mentally beating the bullet out of the barrel to the target, with the next shot.

Dry firing your piece, will show if you are torquing the gun. It will show that you are thinking ahead of the trigger's release. There are so many little semi-auto quirks, it ain't funny!

i dry fire almost daily, i am addicted to keeping the post in the box
