One thing I think is important - don't get in the habit of shooting one or two then transitioning for no reason or safetying and holstering after two every time. If you transition, you should either be dry or have a malfunction - both can be purposely introduced.

When you go to your secondary, you should vary the number of rounds you use before going back to the primary. Shoot two sometimes, more others. Every now and then, shoot it dry and combat reload.

You can use snap caps to introducce a malfunction - just have somebody else load it or do it with your eyes closed so you don't anticipate.

Grossman touches on the reasons for avoiding habitually doing the same things in On Combat. I just started it, not bad. Most of the recommendations he has so far we were doing insticitively.

Another thing I like is sliding to the side to transition or reload. Any ideas why?

Remember - you will revert to training when stressed. So train like you want to fight.

Anybody else?
