Range report

Re: Range report
Dry firing is wear and tear on a gun I think, but it is a machine. Shooting the gun and the impact and forces involved when firing a round seems like it would be just as harsh as a dry fire. Metal on metal will wear out eventually, thats just how science works, the softer metal will wear. I just think a quality gun should be able to handle dry fire training no matter what the brand or design. My CZ did come with snap caps that I have not used. If it breaks I know what weapon NOT to buy again, but I have heard of Beretta M9's breaking or cracking after heavy use and people including the military still buy and use them without hesitation.

Re: Range report
When I do it, I find it's because that's where I'm aiming, as opposed to trigger pull.I'm left eye dominant, carrying on the right side. (Safety is impossible to operate when shooting with my left hand.) Any suggestions on why I'm still shooting to the left?
Seriously, I tend to do the same (right-handed, left-eye dominant)
I'll often shoot left-handed and hit right side of the target when I'm not careful about bringing (and keeping) the sight directly in line with my eye all the way through the trigger pull.
But there's so may factors. Are you shooting with both eyes open? That makes it harder for me.
I'd also pick up the pace, esp. at that range.
Have you practiced point shooting at that distance?

Re: Range report
Every time I start shooting to the left, it is because of trigger control. My trigger press is not going back perfectly, but giving a little too much pressure to one side. If I adjust my grip a little, it clears up.
