Four rules of firearms safety

- Always be sure what is beyond your target.
How to properly grip a semi-auto pistol
Now that you know the four rules of firearms safety, your next lesson should be to learn how to properly grip your handgun. In this short video, Chris Cheng shows beginners the proper way to do so. Once you can do this, you will be able to shoot more accurately and enjoy your time at the shooting range.
Proper trigger pull and dry fire practice
Part of learning how to shoot a handgun also requires learning how to pull the trigger. If you do not apply the right amount of pressure or put your finger in the right location, it will affect your accuracy. With too much or too little finger, it will cause your shots to go in a different direction than intended.
What is dry fire practice?
Dry fire practice is the act of practicing shooting a firearm without any ammunition as part of handgun training at home or at the range. This type of practice allows shooters to improve their accuracy, speed, and trigger control without wasting ammo. Dry fire practice can also be used as a safe way to familiarize yourself with firearms when you are new to using them.
Tactical training techniques: effective dry fire training
This video about dry fire training walks you through the essentials of dry fire pistol training at home or the shooting range safely. Whenever you dry fire your handgun, you should only do so in a room where there are no clips or ammo located for safety reasons. As long as you dry fire regularly, you can enhance your handgun skills.
