Do you shoot your carry gun?

[rexposeidon]

Definitely! How do you know if it is in working order if you don't work it? How do you know how it will feel in your hand if you don't practice? TBH, I don't practice enough. A few times a year is all I shoot. Love to do it more, but the cost. And then there is the clean up time...

This thread reminds me of one I started a while back, a little more about sporadic or random shooting with your carry gun.

Randomly shooting

Apologies if the title is misleading, but I wasn't sure how to otherwise word it. Do any of you ever take the opportunity, when the conditions are right, to take a shot with your carry gun? I'm not talking about doing stupid bubblegum, but using a chance to test that everything is cool if you...

At least you clean up. Whenever I used to go and shoot on public land, I would lay down some large tarps. It made picking up the brass afterwards much easier. We made sure to pick up and remove our targets afterwards, be they paper, or cans/jugs.

Just did!

I shoot my EDC at least 2 times a month and clean it after every 100ish rounds

 

[rexposeidon]

on this idea, how often do you practice drawing from concealed and pointing on target? To get the full feeling, does anyone use snap-caps or similar?

 

[oa98pistol512]

Yes quite a bit

I clean mine every time I come back from the range, if it only got 10 rounds or 100.

Both, practice with snap caps at home and practice draw shoot every-time I hit the range.

I practice drawing from the holster with Mantis laser academy at least once a week.

Occasionally it gets fired but not intentionally.

I whisper sweet nothings to mine and tell it its a silly little goose.

 

[Jay Walk]

Yes, luckily only at the range.

I was always told, you are only as good as what you train with.

When I lived in Rainier, up north, I was shooting my Glock 29, and my Canik Mete MC9 every weekend. Anything in a 15 yard range, I was doing 3 in grouping around my bullseye targets. Practicing all kinds of self defense situations. I could shoot right off my porch and then pee right into the sunset, right where I stood, with my glock in hand.

Glorious times!

I was going to ask what tipped you off, but then I realized that you probably don't want to say so he doesn't learn how to be a better secret squirrel next time.
