Update:
Did around 50 dry fire practice draws today focusing on trigger control. There was some very slight vibration/ movement when the trigger broke and I am still working to have no movement. I worked on my grip during the draw. Something I was uncertain of was when to begin the trigger pull on the draw.
I then went and did some live fire on my place. I focused on shooting at ~7 yards. I began with a 9 shot slow string to see where I am at currently. First shot was a little high and right. Second shot was in the yellow of the target. 😁 I suppose I got too exciting and sent a flyer on the 3rd shot.
I then proceeded to shooting a drill drawing from concealment and firing 2 rounds at target. I used my phone with a shot timer app (unsure how accurate it was) and my headphones with Bluetooth to hear the beep. I managed 2.7 sec for the string with a split between .5 and .7 average while still keeping hits on plate at 7 yards.
A few things I noticed:
1. While focusing on getting hits, the draw, etc. I didn't think about recoil. There were a few times I rushed the time between shots though and didn't let my sights settle.
2. I may invest in a good OWB holster to practice for now. I was using my AIWB holster and while it worked well I would prefer to develop the draw mechanics from an OWB holster.
3. I am currently using a JRC AIWB CDA-2 holster. I really love this holster. It works well for concealment and is relatively comfortable. I did notice though that I was beginning to feel the heat some from the gun towards the end of the session. The other thing that occurred was the slide guard isn't very stiff and can fold over some and obstruct the reholster. Easily seen and fixed but something I was aware of quickly.
4. I probably should invest in a proper shot timer. My phone set up works for now but I'd prefer to not have my phone out at the range. Any recommendations?
The top pictures should be rotated 90 degrees to the right. Can't seem to do it on my phone.
I also forgot to say I had 1 FTF where the round failed to feed properly from the magazine.

I apologize for 3 posts in a row but I must have missed the edit window.
I forgot to mention that while shooting about half of the white paint in my front sight fell out. Is there a specific type of paint I can use to replace it?
Also I realized that I need spare magazines. I currently only have 1 magazine. Makes it challenging to practice reloads lol.
I've had good success with Elmer's Painters Pen brand paint pen at Hobby Lobby or WalMart. About $5. I use the Bright Orange on the front, and black on the rear.

Just a thought, but this thread has a bunch of printable targets, free:
https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....ntable-Targets
For starters, try post #7, and print the 25 yard Repair Center B8. Shoot 10 rounds at 3 yards, post the target here.
I have this one. It works pretty well:
