The drill

  1. 1

    Confirm the gun is clear, ammo in another room.

  2. 2

    Press through the wall and hold the trigger to the rear.

  3. 3

    Rack the slide to simulate the shot.

  4. 4

    Keeping contact with the trigger, slack out only to the audible reset, then press again.

  5. 5

    Do 25 reps. Then mix in: press, rack, come back to the wall, press.

The standard

Every press moves only the fingertip, and you can find the reset without looking.

Safety: Dry-fire only. No ammunition in the room. Verify clear before every rep.
