25 Trigger Pulls a Day....
JTH:
Excellent article. (But then again, I'm a big fan of dryfire.)

Important point:
"The thing is, just like any training, you have to do it correctly in order to see improved results."

He said the "P" word, again! :o
Mali:
Simple and to the point. Well written article.
DenmanShooter:
Good article and good points.
However, I may have missed it in the article, but they also need to point out:
When doing dry fire, keep all ammo IN ANOTHER ROOM or LOCKED AWAY somewhere away from your firearm.
If you stop dry fire and come back to it ALWAYS CHECK your weapon.
Also here's a tip for dry fire. If you don't have snap caps and are uneasy about repeatedly dropping the firing pin/striker on an empty chamber, you can load up some cartridges (if you are reloader or know one) with no powder and instead of a primer, drip some hot glue into the primer pocket. Or cut some mechanical pencil erasers to size and super glue them into the pocket.
The weight is about the same as loaded cartridges so the feel is right. Just make sure you keep them well marked as "snap caps".

I had thought about doing this with cases that still have the spent primer. However, I would want some way to mark the case/bullet to distinguish it. The reason I say a spent primer instead of filling the hole with some material is that it would be possible that the cushion benefit of the material would be diminished even after just one hit. I have read (on the internet so I know it is true) that if you are truly concerned with the wear on the striker/firing pin, then you need to use one of the spring loaded inert practice rounds. The reasoning, which seems to make sense, is that what you are trying to do is keep the striker/pin from reaching its limit. By giving it something to strike, you are preventing this. However, I'm not sure how many strikes a spent primer could take.
