It's Mostly Dry-Firing This Week

Freezing rain and ice have put the halt to Range time. I dry-fire every couple days during the week so it's not unfamiliar to me. ;-) I like to practice two-hand .. one hand ... weak hand to keep the muscle memory going and not get too rough on the trigger.

My aiming points that I practice on appear smaller than a Ruger Blackhawk front sight, so I can tell if I am off to one side easily. I try to hold the dot in the middle of the width of the front sight and not wiggle off it during letoff. I try. :-| Sometimes I am successful. It does help.

It's mostly...

air power here in Coffee Country. But haven't had time for much of that lately. The only pistol work I've done recently was test firing a SigSauer Nighthawk CO2 pistol they brought for me to swap valves on. I'd got it running a while back but then the original orings died. The owner brought a valve back from the UK and I did the swap. 8 shot 4.5mm CO2 pellet pistol with a horrible trigger. Had "fun" playing around with it and its red dot and that horrendous trigger. Did I mention the lamentably atrocious trigger?

A box full of cardboard sheets makes a great pellet trap and I can get up to 10 meters inside the house. Should do more dry firing myself.

I like to dry fire. I have two I use. The 45 Blackhawk & a S&W 67.
