In 2009, I came home from a deployment and my oldest son, who was 3 or 4 at the time, wouldn’t eat for almost 2 weeks... Being a father I was obviously concerned, so I asked him about it and his answer really hit me hard… He said, “Dad, if I eat I’ll grow up and if I grow up I’ll become a daddy. And if I become a daddy, I’ll have to leave my family.” My boys barely knew who I was and I couldn’t let them grow up without a father... I realized at that moment my family needed me a lot more than the Navy needed another SEAL. So I put in for retirement the next day… Back then I knew I wanted to be with my family more than anything, so I made changes in my life that allowed me to be at home. We all want more time to spend with the people we love or doing the things we love. That’s why I’m here to help! That's why I am giving you my top 3 training videos (for FREE) to help you learn how you can stay at home, and save time and money while you improve your shooting!

I would like to have details on the mechanics of the dry fire problem. When I last heard the "issue," the explanation was that the tip of the firing pin could fatigue and crack off at the sudden stop in forward movement. Snap caps would buffer that stop. I'm sure there are other parts in the firing mechanism that can take abuse/damage for repeated dry fires. Also the frequency of that malfunction might be small. The "modern" firing system (striker fire) seems to eliminate that type of issue. So, showing the different systems would have given more clarity.

You are a master, and everything you teach is very important for all of us. Your experience in field and training make you one of the best and most competent gun expert in the world. But I would suggest in my humble opinion that if you are going to dry fire and you have money for having a gun, there is no point dry firing without some snap caps. You can buy them very cheap in the market (there is no need for a LASER snap cap), and you can even 3d print it. I myself dry fire with a 3d round with a little rubber in the center where the pin will hit. Also, if you can have more than one snap cap, you can train a lot of other things, like solving jams, and other stuff. So as you teached before... use a pencil if you don't have a snap cap but do it. But TRAIN.

Why so many camera changes? Cutting between camera angles can keep the eye from becoming bored but whomever is editing has taken it to the point where it has become distracting. The viewer is not supposed to notice when the camera angle changes. I went back and counted 52 camera angle changes. CI suggest you cut that in half. Try a split test on a few people.

Outside of the rim fires, it seems only good design in a firearm that it can be dry fired without harm to the firing pin, chamber or any part of the action. I mean, who wants to leave a firearm, even an empty one, cocked? Without an external hammer that can be gently let back down dry firing is the only other option to leaving the firearm cocked.

perhaps the term 'in modern firearms' should be used? I've been taught that there were designs that relied on the firing pin hitting a soft primer, and - left to hit bare metal of the breach - could damage the firing pin. (There again, modern Sig 365's will probably have a much longer striker-life if only used for dry-firing; actually using the pistol to shoot rounds is what kills its striker.)

The only way dry firing a gun could, metallurgically speaking, be damaged by dry firing is if the type of metal used or the hardening process used was inappropriate for the intended use. In other words, if the gun was not designed properly. Especially with modern firearms, these metallurgy issues should be practically resolved. Yes, well over 50 years ago, the understanding of metals and their hardening processes could lead to crystallization in the metal, which COULD cause the firing pin to shatter or crack, or was too soft and it would deform. But it is questionable as to whether that failure was due to dry firing the gun or, as Chris said, just FIRING the gun. I've never heard of a failure on a gun that was only dry fired. My step-father was a gunsmith and a machinist (with Boeing) back in the 70s and 80s and pointed out that SOME guns did not do well with dry firing, but that he believed it was a design flaw (designs include metallurgy specifications) because many guns didn't have a problem with it. And that was 40+ years ago. Anyway, my $.02... PS. I'm referring to center-fire guns.

Centerfire no problem. Rimfire usually has a firing pin block to prevent the firing pin from striking the breech. UNTIL the firing pin breaks in front of the block. THEN it makes a nice ding😬 Had it happen once on a Ruger Mark II I bought used and never cleaned the firing pin. Now all guns get a full takedown once a year. Of course being retired what else am I going to do🙃

Yea I think it'd be way worse to leave the gun cocked. I'd imagine that's spring loaded so if you leave a rifle cocked and put it away all season that spring is extended the entire time. On bolt action the only way to release is dry fire.

Note : All this information is specific for center fire arms/pistols. Don't do it with a rimfire, because the firing pin will hit the side of the chamber. Some .22 pistols like the FN Browning International II have a special training mode that allows you to cock and pull the trigger without releasing the firing pin forward so you will not kill the firing pin. Best regards from out the Netherlands to Chris. I have learned a lot from all of his tutorials and I am always looking forward for his newest videos.

Do you suggest dry fire training for rifle accuracy? Is this a good way to reduce flinch from heavy recoil? My wife wants me to teach her she's a petite Asian woman about a hundred lb. Smallest rifle I have right now is a 308? I've told her I think we should get 22 or something. For to learn I think it 308 would be too much for a first time I don't you think? I'm afraid she'll develop a flinch. So she wants to deer hunt with me I'm thinking a 243 for her. I always drive fire my rifles several times at the range on the target just getting my mind and body ready. Another thing is I was taught to shoot six hold and I've always sited for a 6 hold. What do you teach sight hold? Thanks for your videos

Dry fire on a rifle is very good experience too. Preferably use a centerfire rifle. Even better is the rifle she will hunt with. For a beginning shooter I would highly recommend a .22 rimfire. I wish I would have learned with a rimfire first. Then I wouldn't have had to spend years getting rid of a flinch.
