Obviously this has been an off year for at least live fire for most of us for obvious reasons. I'm only at 1,545 live 9mm rounds for the year and the last ones were back in mid-August. That said, I do keep up with a fairly simple, yet useful dry fire routine. I judge its usefulness by the lack of performance fall off I've seen this year when I do get to live fire.
For those that care, it is as follows and I do it 2-4X per week:
10 clean presses 2 handed freestyle
10 clean presses SHO
10 clean presses WHO
A clean press means not movement of the dot/sights through the press to completion of break. A failure at any point of the process requires starting over again.
I also work presentations from concealment and (to a lesser degree) reloads. I probably work presentations 1-2X per week and reloads 1-2X per month. Part of the reason for not working the reload as much is that I've worked it quite a bit in the past and with a full-size frame (G17, G45, etc) can sit under 1.5 pretty comfortably. Conversely I cannot get my big meaty heel out of the way with a G19 enough to get the mag to reliably drop, and as I'm not gaming currently and the reality of a speed reload in a CCW gun fight is pretty low, I just don't focus on it as much.
Anyway, I took the RMR off my G19 yesterday and started working with irons again. 2 things:
1. I think I like it, like REALLY like it
2. Holy target focus Batman! It took like 15 min for my brain to switch to a front sight focus on presentation again.
I still think the dot has its advantages, primarily for distance shooting and I will probably go back to one, but neither do I consider it the "must have" that so many seem to.
