i don't at all and probably should try too? i just aim for corrections of my trigger pull. if i hit high left, i just aim low right. that's pretty much how all of my handguns shoot, except for the deagle for some reason as it's on point.

I do it a fair amount. A big part of shooting a revolver double action is trigger manipulation, dry firing or laser cartridge firing helps there.

I’m a Mantis X fan. I work with it all the time. Dry fire is great but when you can see analytics to support what you are doing it is even better. Plus Mantis has all kinds of levels and drills from Beginner to Elite that you can progress through. They have a great feature that allows you to break your draw down into several elements of the draw and gives you split times for each of those elements, enabling you to see where you are losing or gaining time in your draw.

I use MantisX often. It definitely helps.

I dry fire most days using a Strikeman target system.
I use a scaled Bullseye target with a laser cartridge.
The Strikeman app on my phone records the session to an image.
I take that image into the On Target app on my laptop to score it.
It calculates the max spread, group height and width, mean radius, horizontal and vertical offset.
That data goes into an Excel spreadsheet to track my progress or lack thereof
Some days I end up with something like this sometimes no so good!

All the time. And (22 notwithstanding) I have NEVER believed the BS stories about dry-firing being bad for any firearm, nor have I seen proof of it.

I also have "Strikeman" system. Use several days a week with striker fired carry guns. My hammer fired guns, not so much. 2lb triggers on Staccatos and the Prodigy comp. Dry fire is not a friend of light, crisp competition weight ignition components. Nice shooting by the way. Peace.I dry fire most days using a Strikeman target system.
