Re: [MBZ] OT - Guns - Pistols, Really...

I can't say enough about the value of dry-fire practice when it comes to training trigger control. I have also found "laser bullets", like by LaserLyte to be helpful. They go in the chamber like a snap cap but don't extract when you cycle the slide. The laser fires when the firing pin hits
