Dry fire practice works.
Dry firing is a form of firearms practice, where all ammunition is removed from the gun and the shooter pulls the trigger and otherwise manipulates the firearm. The obvious advantage is no ammunition is used, so it is cheaper than going to the range. Plus dry firing can be done in your home, rather than at a range.
But can you improve how you shoot a firearm without shooting live ammunition through it? Absolutely. Let me show you how.
Safety First
Dry firing means practice with a firearm that has no ammunition. This should be obvious, but it is a key component to both safety and the general concept of ‘dry’ firing. So, empty your gun. Check it twice. Take all of the ammunition out of the room. Check your gun again. Stick your finger in the chamber, shine a light in there, make sure no magazines are in the gun.
