Draw And Dry Fire

Been practicing my draw with the Model 59.

Pull it out, get the muzzle down-range, thumb off the safety while aligning the sights, double action pull.

I am an Egg with regards to this DA/SA stuff.

I can aim and hold the sights steady while doing the 12 lb. 8 oz. pull.  It is a nice smooth double action, though.

What I am doing now is form.

It's an old mantra from Karate.  Form first, strength and speed will follow.

I am getting quicker at shooting my reflection in the mirror.

Part of my drill has been to freeze after the sear breaks and check to see where the sights are actually pointed.

I've gone from being a bit off to one side or the other and varying up and down to getting the gun where I want it.

This is very different from the single action only 1911's and M&P's I've been carrying.

Still, it's fun learning a new skill and it keeps my idle hands busy.

    Ayup. A good set of snap caps, a ton of dry fire…. It will show at the range.
