Refinement and Repetition, Dry Fire Drills

Has anyone purchased any of Steve Anderson's books? In particular - I'm considering his book Refinement and Repetition, Dry Fire Drills for Dramatic Improvement. As I understand it, it's mainly geared for competition shooting. But isn't the point of competition pistol shooting (USPSA, IDPA) to improve ones defensive shooting?

 

I've been doing some dry firing at home, just to build up my shooting muscles, since my accident. I did shoot a 1911 out at the Tri County Gun Club's open house and found out I've lost my shooting mojo. So I need something! And cheap!

BTW, to save yourself a ND (not saying you would, but it creeps up every now and then) consider one of these for your dry fire practice. It certainly gave me peace of mind.

What I use during dry fire exercise is either Pachmayr or A-zoom snap caps. The difference between the two is Pachmayrs use a spring loaded brass "primer" and the A-zoom brand use a spring in one style and a rubber one in another. I've got a mayonnaise jar full of them in different calibers. I just don't like letting the slide slam home or dropping the hammer on an empty gun. I use these training aids for dry fire exercises, live fire malfunction drills, and so on. Not to say your safety item isn't any good - but off-hand I don't see a need for it with snap caps in the magazine or cylinder.
