Dry fire with the P-10c
« on: March 20, 2020, 01:16:08 AM »
I recently picked up one and have been really happy with it. I’d like to try a little dry fire, but after the first trigger pull, you get a dead trigger, like you do with a Glock. I normally shoot Sigs where this doesn’t happen. I know with Glocks you can put some cardboard in the chamber to hold it open, to help simulate something like a trigger reset. However when I tried this with the P-10, it didn’t work.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Interesting now I have to look up this glock cardboard trick.

Reset the slide after each pull unless some one knows another trick. I only practice live fire so no ideas otherwise.

Are you saying you want to shoot a striker fired weapon repeatedly without resetting the sear and striker and all that? Like a double-action hammer fired gun??

I use a small plastic zip tie with the end stuck in the chamber and the loop on the outside. Doesn't feel exactly the same, but gives enough trigger travel for dryfire w/o the need for reset.

In the past, I have used a "dry fire cord" like the one pictured in some of my other pistols, but it doesn't work in the P-10. Maybe I need something thicker?

I simply rack the slide each time, never gave it much thought. I guess it’s kinda a pain but I’m use to it

Ok but dry-fire practice without the actual feel of the take-up and wall and break seems kinda pointless to me.

Which is why I don't do dry fire practice. To each his own but firing a gun without the recoil impulse and mechanics that go along with getting back on target seems pointless to me. But like I said to each his own.

Well, then you need a double action pistol.

Which is a beautiful segue to say...have you tried a P-07?  :)
