Thanks, Greg. As a matter of fact, I have done these drills with other pistols, my Walther PPQ and others. Rack, smack and aim/fire. I don’t have any snap caps for the .22, since I’m not going to be using this pistol much. I just want to be sure it’s sorted 100% before I hand it off to the wife.
Everyone has offered some great things as far as technique. I’m going to start drilling on this stuff in the next day or two. -D > On Nov 15, 2017, at 2:53 PM, Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Have you done any "ball and dummy" drills?
