Raw and uncut.

I found this gem from a few months back and figured I’d share. This is what dry fire actually looks like for me, especially when I’m doing things like pushing 1 second par times with no magwell.

Most sessions are filled with moments of frustration, constant self-coaching, and countless reps trying to do one thing just a little bit better. In that space is where I push to build proficiency and consistency .

Harness the frustration and the failure. Learn from it. Then keep going.

Growth is often in the hard work.

Dry fire doesn’t have to be complicated, take up a ton of time or space. It just has to be intentional. This session’s focus was on staying low and not unnecessarily breaking the gun down. Two things I’ve noticed from rewatching comp footage. Working toward the next step.

I’m still using the Laser Trainer as visual indexing tool, but the added built in optic on the new version adds a cool element that’s closer visually to the real thing.

Train Anywhere.

Training with @thegripkeeper Laser Trainer has helped with my overall target focus and presentation index. The eyes pick the spot, body mechanics follow, and when I switch to optic dry for and more importantly live fire, I get a sight confirmation I trust quicker allowing me to shoot sooner. Dry fire matters.

Reloads and unloaded starts are my absolute kryptonite. So it’s all I did tonight. Very deliberately trying to work on speed through efficiency over speed for the sake of speed. And speed out of my duty retention mag pouches.

Also, I’ll never go back to unweighted dry fire.

Winding down with some @thegripkeeper Laser Trainer work.

Still no optic on this thing. Just visual connection and result. It’s been helping speed up my transitions through matching body index to visual index. I’m landing on targets more consistently in live fire and accepting less confirmation in the dot than I used to, allowing me to shoot sooner. Unconventional, but it’s working.

My boy @riosreloaded called me slow… so here we are lol. Maybe he didn’t actually say the words, but go check out his page, you’ll see what I mean.

The first time I set up a camera to record myself it was for the sole purpose of getting an outside view to identify and fix inefficiencies in my motions. Sometimes stuff makes it to the internet now, but the purpose of the recording remains the same.

Last week I recorded an impromptu concealment range session while playing around with @infinitytargets. Man did I see wasted motion and time in my draw. I posted the video anyway, because that’s where I was in the moment, and its authenticity over everything. But then I got to the lab to clean myself up.

@achillesheeltactical command drills always to fine tune efficiency.

I still see LOTS of room for improvement here. More fluid movements. Less wasted over travel. More consistency. But that’s where it starts.

Get the reps in & never stop pushing to get better.

Dry fire verification session.

I only had time for quick 100 or so rounds this morning and it was all about the grip. I used the @achillesheeltactical Command Drill to work draw efficiency and stacked it with high round courses of fire. Being quick out of the holster is one thing, having a grip that is consistent durable to last whatever course of fire follows is the difference I’ve been working to build consistency with.

Had a plan for my duty setup but left my inner belt so it turned into a concealment session. Heavy on the rotation of @tier1concealed and @4brosholsters for EDC 🫡.

Seven months into using @thegripkeeper products consistently and it’s not a question that it’s helped me tremendously. The laser trainer has done wonders for my vision, and the grip trainers have pushed that focus further into the background. I’m always bad at this part, but use code: Aegis10 at checkout.

Thank you doesn’t quite cover it! Three members of our @austin.swat team generously hosted 2 Practical Pistol Movement classes and donated 100% of the proceeds to JPF! First class filled right away so a second class was added without hesitation. They invested their own time in the planning and execution of this class that overwhelming received high praises from the participants attending from agencies all over Texas. Thank you to @ac3dmfg for donating the awesome dryfire kits!

With our 1st Annual Legacy Match coming upon Saturday, we are encouraged by the number of officers invested in competitive shooting to enhance their skills! Big things coming! Proud of our SWAT Team and grateful for the continued love and support!
