rust!!!

I made it out to the range today and it took close to 50 rounds thru the G30 to knock the rust off, I've had so much crap going on I haven't been able to get much range time in the past couple months. I couldn't believe how much my accuracy dropped off in just this little amount of time. Good news I got to put 200 rounds down range with the new G19 and 100 with the G33 and they were such a pleasure to shoot, I would still be there if I hadn't run outa ammo.

I got to shoot for the first time in months on Saturday. I wasn't completely horrible, but I've certainly shot better in my life. None of the guns were mine, but neither was the ammo. :)

RUST!! That's one of the two enemies of a firearm.

I feel dry fire practice is way underrated. If you don't have snap caps, let me know. I can send you some in .45. It really helps.

 

Just be safe. They are a great tool but separate yourself from live ammo and loaded mags while practicing.

It is a perishable skill. One must train constantly to maintain, or improve, your skill.

Well, at least there's plenty of .45 ammo available again to replenish the supply!! :up:

I agree completely. I shoot practical pistol and dry fire at least once a week 100-150 draws. If I don't, it really shows up when I go to our match. If I were a serious shooter I'd dry fire every day. It's an old wives tale that that dry firing will hurt the firing pin on a pistol. When I was serious about  shooting I'd 800-1000 draws a week. No one else or myself included ever said they had to replace a firing pin.

I am almost scared to get out to the range.  I have been packing for the last several months preparing for the move so I am sure I am rusty as hell.  Moving is only a few weeks away yea.

 

Thanks
