The role of the .22 in practice and training.

We've got an Advantage Arms .22 conversion kit for our Glock 19. The light alloy .22 slide comes with Glock adjustable sights and looks like the 9mm version. The kit includes one 10 round magazine, plus a loading tool and cleaning kit.

We can still use the Crimson Trace laser and rail-mounted flashlight with the .22 kit installed. Only we can practice shooting in the basement instead of the going to the range. The ammo's a lot cheaper too... :D

Here's where we got ours:

Your on

About two weeks ago, I tried something new. Target 15 fet away, pistol at a low ready, pointing downward at 45 degrees, eyes on the floor in front of me (wearing a ball cap to ensure I cannot cheat). Three, two, one. Raise eyes to target, raise pistol, fire one shot, not using sights. I guess this is "point" shooting(?)

I am definitely going to try this. I cant do some of my drills on an indoor range. Its getting to be a longer and longer drive to outdoor shooting areas (as in, the boonies). This drill I really like. I do lookups, but the hat is awesome. Proper head/sight alignment drill. Very nice. I bet its pretty tough. I havent drilled with that much emphasis on head alignment. Great drill for revolver shooters.

I know it sounds, well, kind of nerdy but you could use a hat with a really long/wide bill and kind of roll it to a half circle like Ive seen some wear it in music videos on CMT. ( it took me a minute to find a nice way to describe the hat. got nothin obviously)

You could work on horizontal alignment if you turn your head to the side in random directions when pre-staging (looking down) with a hat like that.

I wonder if it might emphasize tunnel vision and toe point though....... Not sure. Im going to give it a try tomorrow.

Great idea. Thanks.
