    With the shortage of ammo, training time needs to be precise and conservative: each shot must have training value. With that in mind, does anyone have any ideas for training sessions that involve maybe 50 to 100 shots while focusing on:

    - clearing the cover garment and holster
    - draw
    - shot placement

    I'm thinking of the bill drill against a timer, but any other ideas are welcome.

    What is your carry gun? If there is an air gun equivalent, get one and train with that.

    I have a Umarex Glock 19 Co2 BB gun that I use in my yard and garage. Works with my carry holster. 25 CO2 cartridges and 5000 BB’s cost under $30 and will provide fun and training to draw and shoot for months!

    Can’t train malfunction or reload drills, but great for drawing and shooting drills. Accuracy is fine inside 7 yards.

    Just my opinion, but I think movement is one of the tenets of defensive shooting. If one stands still, they are an easy target. So I would incorporate movement into training and getting used to the idea that bullets go both ways. Hard to do on a flat range I know. However, you can practice this at home with an empty gun. Kind of goes hand in hand with clearing your garment. It also takes zero rounds to practice.

    There are compressed gas laser targeting barrel systems, that simulate recoil, and use a laser with a laser target to record hits. Great way to practice.
