Like I need to work on recoil control to keep the dot in the window better. I could do it with a G34, but it's harder with a shorter slide G45 that I use for duty. Dry fire, though important, didn't teach me that. I'm in the process of creating a duplicate duty gun, but these days the pistol is the cheapest part of the package. $500 for the G45, plus $120 for the light, $600 for the ACRO P2, $175 for the Safariland holster. Damn, now I sound like a crusty old-timer. That's a bad combination of being greedy, cheap, and broke. ;) Luckily, only two of those currently apply.
