    Efficacy of Revolver Dry Practice for Pistol Shooting?

    I decided to fix it, and used a S&W 317 revolver and more thousands of rounds of .22 ammo than I would like to admit. Working a long, heavy trigger while steering the sights on a lightweight revolver took a lot of effort, but eventually I started to get the hang of one hand shooting. I shot so much with just my support hand, that to this day, I would rather shoot one hand with just my left, support hand.

    Trigger control is not a skill you are born with.
    At what distance did you start with the S&W 317? Did you start one handed when you decided to fix it? Thanks

    Been a while, but I think I just put my eight inch steel out there, and kept moving them back as I got better. Did almost all with one hand.
    Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

    You can afford the P250 .22LR. I paid even less for mine on GB. Look up the thread where I’ve posted my impressions of it. I’m a fan.

    $279 shipped is what I paid from CDNN a few weeks ago. I love my 250 .22.

    Lots of good stuff here...

    I know this is the Marksmanship technical forum, and Rich asked about getting better, but I would reiterate getting a rimfire always ends up being a ton of fun. I think just being able to shoot thousands of rounds without a care to the cost, recoil or noise, is liberating. And maybe instead of the precise understudy LCR, a 3" LCRx would bring a few other things to the table:

    For one thing, I tend to not like buying things that I already have, this might be just enough different. With a little more sight radius that might mimic the G19, and with the option to shoot single action it might show what might be possible without a challenging double or Safe Action trigger. But it is light enough gun that it would not be totally easy.

    I recently reacquired my 617-4 I let get away a few years ago. On Thanksgiving we had my steel targets plates set up, I have one rack of five 8" plates and it just great to dump fifty shells in my jacket pocket and just shoot, shoot, and shoot. The 617 is super easy to shoot, but a 317 is on my short list.

    Not sure if you’ve covered this already but, what about adding a dot to your pistol for this purpose?

    Meaning I’d have to get one of these?

    The problem is finding a lightweight DA revolver in .22 that allows mounting of a RDS.

    A Smith & Wesson, a J-Point mount that replaces the rear sight from Brownells and a Shield RMS?
