A more REALISTIC dry fire training session

[sheep dog]

I carry a glock. As fast as I can pull the trigger, it fires off rounds (duh!)... Muscle memory plays an important role in firearms training and tactics and for that reason i do not like taking a semi auto pistol and having to pull trigger, rack slide (to reset trigger and eject snap cap) and repeat the process when working on shooting tactics without ammo. I dont do live fire that way. I continually pull the trigger. If i am working malfunction drills and combat relaods, then thats another story but for sight alignment, trigger control, etc. I want to be able to work that trigger finger. Now i can! I got the dry fire mag yesterday and it seems to resolve one of the major drawbacks of traditional dry fire practice...muscle memory and trigger finger control. Incorporating this mag into practicing drawing from concealmant, sight picture, etc seems to aid in areas snap caps cant. I figured i would share this video if anyone is interested in a dry fire mag. Its not perfect, but it helps and paired with live fire range time will make improvements in your shooting.

***edit update. Its available for m&p pistols as well now***

In addition to the dry fire mag, here is another step closer to realistic training in dry practice...the coolfire trainer.

It will work with laser target systems or reflective targets that it comes with or whatever you use.

Interesting concept, would love to see some reviews from users before dropping $100.

There are a few on youtube from various people. All seem to really like it. I have 15 days to try it and can return it if not happy. So far, so good.

Looks like a cool deal. Wonder how it works.

I like that it is MY glock and not a sirt pistol. And its as easy as inserting a mag. No changing internals like some other reset kits.

I had one and sent it back. Preferred to rack my glock to reset the trigger. Something about it was a little off. Not bad but not worth it for me.

Where did ratchet your gun come from? I have a good friend who says it all the time drives me up a wall.

I encorporate dry fire practice and firearms training (drawing from iwb concealed holster, reloads, sight/target allignment, etc.) into my workout sessions that could be considered "combat strength training" style workouts with heavy bags, slam balls, kettle bells, battle ropes, mma drills, etc. And find the dry fire mag to aid in making for more realistic drills and simply more fun training. Its nice to not have a "single shot glock" anymore when doing dry fire training and the ability to work trigger finger muscle memory and work "throttle control". I am happy with the purchase and would recommend it in ADDITION to live fire training.
