Dry-fire training is the process of training to shoot your pistol without firing live rounds. This can be done regularly in the comfort of your own home.

Dry fire does not pose any real risk of damage to most modern centerfire handguns; however, it can for rimfire handguns, where the firing pin in most designs will impact the breech face if the weapon is dry-fired.

Dry-fire training will help you with:

  • Trigger control
  • Sight alignment
  • Unholstering/reholstering your firearm
  • Muscle memory
  • Development of comfortable gun handling tactics
  • And more…

Dry-fire training allows you to conduct a safe, economical form of training that will improve your shooting skills.
