re-chambering carry ammo after dry fire

[Mark D]

Since I heard about the LEO who had a ammo-related malfunction, I've used the magic marker method too. Four black marks and that round goes to the bottom of the mag, to be fired on the next range session.

However I recently picked up a "training gun" which is nearly identical to my carry gun. Unloading my carry gun is no longer needed before daily dryfire.

I have seen noticeable setback with Federal HST 124 and 147 grain in a Glock 19 and 43. It takes at least half a dozen chamberings I'd say, but it absolutely does happen. What I have been doing is dropping the round into the box next to a fresh one to see if it was noticeably shorter (then throwing the round away if it was), but I like the sound of the sharpie method and will try that.

I have seen some people say they put the round in a cup to shoot at the range once they see visible setback, and I don't like that idea - taking rounds you already know have a problem and rechambering them again, then shooting.
