Dry Fire Mag Review (Glock and M&P)

2 Comments

Dry firing is critical to a well-rounded firearms training program. However, there are situations where dry-firing can be problematic. One such situation is when practicing a multiple shot string with a Glock or M&P type handgun.

Many striker-fired handguns will exhibit a “dead trigger” after a single press of the trigger without cycling the slide. When dry-firing, this means you have to rack the slide before you can press the trigger again. Other options are a “pretend” trigger press, where you apply pressure but the trigger doesn’t actually move, or using something to hold the slide out of battery so that the trigger still has motion. Neither of these are great options since they do not accurately simulate what the trigger feels like when shooting.

The Dry Fire Magazine solves this issue. Continue reading Dry Fire Mag Review (Glock and M&P) →

Weaponlight Carbon Solution

Leave a comment

If you train with firearms, cleaning them is a fact of life. There are few firearms cleaning tasks that are less enjoyable than removing the caked up carbon from your weaponlight.

Removing the weaponlight before training is a simple solution. However a weaponlight can alter the way a firearm handles. It can also affect how the handgun fits in a holster. If you carry a weaponlight, you should train with your weaponlight attached. That begs the question, how do you prevent the mess?

There are several products on the market to address the problem. Most take the form of stickers or lens caps. All of them cost money. Thankfully, you probably already have something in your range bag that can solve the problem. Continue reading Weaponlight Carbon Solution →
