What is Dry-firing?

Dry firing is the cocking of a firearm without a loaded cartridge in the chamber, and then pulling the trigger. Dry firing is a time-tested method of shooting training. While it does not train shooters to compensate for recoil, dry firing does train the shooter to raise the pistol, quickly line the sights and squeeze or press (not pull or jerk) the trigger quickly and effectively. Dry firing is especially important in perfecting position stability and a smooth trigger pull, properly coordinated with the sight picture. In dry firing training without cartridges, the shooter is able to detect a number of errors in the technique of firing a shot, including defects in trigger release. He also facilitates and quickens the reinforcement of many skills which are not so vital to shooting, despite the fact that such training is not very exciting; most of the best shooters cannot do without it, and systematically can carefully work out all the elements of their technique through dry firing.

Just as martial arts masters begin slowly and develop correct muscle memory and strength, the same is true for shooters. It is important to build and practice good habits. Our product is a must have for the serious shooter. The Dry-Fire Training Gun will allow the shooter to carefully line the front and rear sights, slowly squeeze the trigger for the first double action shot, and accurately prepare for the second single-action shot building the correct muscle memory for trigger reset. The Dry-Fire Training Gun is also equipped with a de-cocking lever, allowing the shooter to accurately de-cock back into double action mode.
