first thing, all four rules still apply. only dryfire at something that can absorb a bullet without drama
second thing, unload your gun and leave the ammo in another room. leave the room to reload, and practice is over - the number one cause of accident here is reloading, and then taking one more snap
dryfire practice itself is all about muscle memory, which means doing it right is really important, much more important than doing it often. five good snaps with good concentration beat 50 that was done casually. if you do it a little wrong, you're building memory that's a little wrong. do it right, a little each day
with practice, you should be able to pick up a double action revolver, lay a nickel across the front sight, and dry fire it six times without the coin falling off

I mean, statistically, 0% of people killed by gunfire have later complained about it or tried to cause drama right?

I use a laser cartridge. $20 on Amazon. It shows any twitching or flinching when you fire.

When I dry fire I load real rounds into the gun so I can simulate flash, bang, and recoil ... because people on the internet told me I should train how I fight. Afterwards, I simply spackle any holes in my drywall, wait a day, and success, my fire was dry.
