I am halfway through the dry practice routine today. Going to try and post observations here from time to time from what I am seeing and how it is going. My current plan is this. 10-15 concealed carry draws with a gun of the same model as my carry gun. I don't want to unload and reload the carry gun everyday and go through so many rounds that get chambered repeatedly. I may even use my blue gun at times.
I want to practice with both my Single stack gun and my Limited gun. I am going to do four different drills with the SS gun. Two of those drills requiring reloads, and two that do not. The two that do not require reloads will be 8 rounds per drill. One shooting left to right and the other shooting right to left. In an effort to be balanced on the direction of the shooting. Sometimes in USPSA the targets can appear from both directions and I want that to be a non factor. It should give me more options on stage break down. These drills should carry over to EDC as well since I will not have control over the direction that the threats appear.
I plan to do some dry practice on steel challenge stages as well. I plan to do this with my Limited gun. These guns will come from the same holster for the time being. I have the grips on the SS and Limited guns set up to be very similar in size and thickness. So that switching back and forth the feel will be close. The Single stack gun has a very think grip. SS is recently converted to .40 and I have it running well. Hopes are high.
I have the SS work already done for the day. The reloads were a struggle. The time off was evident. I had trouble gripping the magazine in the pouch and that was frustrating. When not fumbling magazines and the insert there were a number of good reps achieved to make me think this will smooth up in a couple of days and then perhaps some real improvement can be achieved. On 6 reload 6 I was able to use my Limited Gun times from last year with the skinny mags and make 75% of the par times.
On 2 reload 2 the times from last years were not achievable. So I just worked the slowest part time for all sets. I made about 33% of those times total. Work to be done there. But if I can get SS reloads down to those times that will make things tough on the competition. 2 reload 2 was a speed focus and I did not handle that very well. Caught myself dropping the gun too much on some of them and that reload usually did not go well.
The visual information today was fine. I was seeing the sights well at speed. There were some things that I did not like seeing but I at least saw it and can work on correcting it. After the reload I was not pushing back out with the sight aligned. They were high. WTF? Tomorrow it will be a point of focus. Should not happen and is costing me time. Calling it rust at this point.
Need to do a little research and make a decision about shooting roundabout and then get the steel stages down.
