I dislike NDs

[TyGuy]

Thank God I haven't had a ND yet, and I don't plan on ever having one, but being around enough firearms forums for long enough has lead me to believe that no one is safe from NDs. I dry fire practice a lot, and when I do I completely unload the mag and lock the ammo back up in whatever safe I removed the firearm from, but even so I a do make mistakes from time to time, and I would hate to blow a hole in my tv, home, family member, neighbor, etc... As such I purchased this item a few weeks ago and I LOVE it. It's easy to install / remove, makes the firearm so that it cannot fire a round yet still lets you dry fire. It's also bright yellow so you know when its installed or not. I have nothing personal to gain from this, but for $15 it has given me peace of mind.

 

This link is for the one that fits the Glock 19, 23, and 32 but I know they can be found for different makes and models. You can still holster the firearm provided that the holster doesn't have a bottom wear the muzzle is located as the training barrel extends about 1/4" - 1/2" past the slide to allow you to manually work the action.

Saw an ND once at iron sights indoor shooting range in Oceanside California. Guy in the booth next to me had rented the smith and Wesson 500 for his female friend to shoot. The first round went off aimed down range but the recoil caused her to aim straight up in the air and fire off a second shot into the ceiling.

Great item. Better than a "blue gun". And, for 15 bucks, how can you go wrong?

Yeah, it lets you do everything you normally would do with your own firearm while dry firing. You get to practice with YOUR firearm's trigger pull, YOUR firearm's manipulations, YOUR firearm's weight, etc...

 

I won't be getting one for every firearm that I own, but at least one for every firearm that I carry.

I know the guy that invented the training barrel. Nice guy that trains a LOT.

 

Only thing better is the Red Training Glock which is... pricey...

Can't I just use nailpolish to paint my Glock red?

I was about to mention that you could always just soak your glock in tomato sauce, which would turn it red, just like leaving the spaghetti sauce in the tupperware tub to make your wife mad, but thought better of it.

[TyGuy]

Is the red glock a seperate thing, or is it a different from for your Glock?

[xmikex]

It's a completely separate gun. It's a working Glock - but cannot fire live rounds. It can be bought through a FFL - they're rare / tough to get though...

 

[TyGuy]

So, it's an actual different "firearm". I'd rather use my own to get used to its trigger pull (maybe i've modified it), etc.. (I have extended mag and slide releases. It's probably a lot more than $15 too.

[xmikex]

Yeah - they're $600 or so usually I think. The advantage is that they allow you to practice / demonstrate malfunction clearances, etc. as opposed to just working on your trigger press.

 

They're a weird thing that you don't see too often outside of a training class, etc.
