Being honest with yourself in dry fire is all about your practice and how you practice. Are you just going through the motions or focusing on what you are doing. Are you teaching yourself bad habits or helping yourself. What are some tips to avoid forming bad habits?

Glad to see so many voices in this space working together.
Education and training are crucial. Thank you both!
Good informative information, good stuff.
How to practice multiple trigger pulls in dry fire - by which I mean trigger pull after trigger pull without having to hold the trigger to the rear and hand-cycle the action in-between - is something I did an article on, years ago.
It's actually pretty easy. Just take a pair of Dikes or other wire cutters - those that are integrated into the pliers of a Leatherman tool work really well - and cut a U-shaped piece of metal off one end of a paperclip. Then spread the ends of the "U" apart just enough it's slightly wider than the breech face on whatever gun you want to be dry firing. I cut the "U" off the narrow end of the paperclip for a 9mm, the wide end for a .45. The wire should compress inward just a bit as you slide it into place on the breech face, with the slide locked back, then outward pressure on the wire will hold it in place as you release the slide and ease it forward, you'll wind with the wire held between the breech face and the back of the barrel hood.
This prevents the action from closing that last fraction of an inch, but, assuming you're using a striker-fired auto - though this concept works with hammer-fired autos, as well - there is still contact between the trigger bar and the lug on the firing pin, and enough forward pressure exerted to cause the trigger to move forward after being pulled to the rear. Understand, this is not a perfect recreation of what happens when actually firing the gun, there will be no wall or trigger break, but it does allow practicing back-and-forth trigger control for multiple shots in dry fire.
When you're done dry firing, just pull your dry fire wire out of the gun, voilà! it's back to being a fully-functional firearm.
Well done. Pinning the trigger was a helpful topic.
Awesome video. I always put my EGO aside when dry fire practice. Learn from my mistakes and improve on my strengths. Double action helps your trigger muscle memory. As always, KEEP ON ROCKING!
For the algorithm. Also glad to see great info on dry fire.
Hey Ernest just got into the Apx a1 series because of the amazing value. Will you produce a striker control device for the apx series??
