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

Rack the slide to simulate the shot.

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

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.
