DryFireMag: Stop Racking. Start Training.
If you’re serious about your proficiency, you know that dry fire is where the real gains are made. But you also know the dance: break the shot, rack the slide, find your sight picture, repeat. It’s a rhythmic killer that builds negative muscle memory and limits you to single-shot strings.
The DryFireMag changes the math. It turns your daily dry fire from a repetitive chore into a high-cadence training session by providing an audible and tactile trigger reset without ever touching your slide.
What You Should Consider
For the price of three boxes of ammo, you’re buying back thousands of reps. Here’s why the DryFireMag is a staple in the kits of competitive shooters and tactical instructors:
Kill the “Rack” Habit: Constant slide-racking between shots trains your brain to break grip and focal plane. DryFireMag allows you to maintain a continuous, rock-solid firing grip through dozens of simulated rounds.
True Multi-Shot Strings: Practice double-taps, Mozambique drills, and complex target transitions with a trigger that actually resets.
Shot Timer Integration: Because the mag utilizes a mechanical “click” reset, it’s loud enough to be picked up by sensitive par-time sensors, like the Shooters Global SG Timer 2. Now, your dry fire data is just as measurable as your live fire data.
Dedicated Training Safety: Inserting a DryFireMag means your mag well is occupied by a training tool. It creates a dedicated “training mode” for your brain, adding a layer of safety by ensuring a live magazine isn’t in the gun.
The Realistic Breakdown
Let’s be direct: the trigger pull won’t be a 1:1 replica of your polished 3.5lb connector. It’s a mechanical simulation designed to provide a crisp reset and consistent take-up. However, the trade-off is undeniable—the ability to practice trigger finger isolation and sight tracking at full speed far outweighs a slight difference in break feel.
A Note From KFF Defense
When dryfiring you are creating muscle memory. Just like an NBA star putting up shots, repetition and good fundamentals is key. Though we all have hundreds of hours experience racking slides while dryfiring, its worth considering how much more efficient, and better off you will be by not having to scrub your brain of a specific movement in your training each time. You will get more reps faster, be given the ability to practice multi-shot drills without racking the slide each time, and all of it can be quickly and accurately picked up on your shot timer.
“When I first saw this product at shot show, the absolute first thing that came to my mind was how I would be able to easily train and time transition drills, one of my biggest weaknesses. Because I cant pull the trigger twice, I couldn’t use my SG Timer 2 to gauge my speed, I just had to go off of feel. On top of eliminating bad muscle memory from racking the slide, I instantly became a fan.” -Connor Grogan Owner KFF Defense
