Handgun training drills that you can do by yourself

I wouldn't want an RSO telling me I have to unload my pistol if it's my carry weapon.

I routinely carry into/onto the ranges which I frequent, and fire the rounds which are in the gun, to rotate my carry ammo... I reload with fresh cartridges and re-holster before leaving the range. Never had anyone make a sideways comment about it, and never saw a rule about it.

If having a loaded gun holstered was against the rule of any business (range or otherwise) I'd find another place to spend my money, no questions asked. OTOH, I wouldn't shrink from admonishing mis-stated opinions against my practice... if they weren't based on clearly authoritative rules.

Amazingly... none of us shot each other. No RSO and yet no one assumed room temperature!

Thankfully we all knew enough about each other to trust each other's abilities and gun handling etiquette. But I think that's the key. If you don't play well with others or don't know how to, then having RSOs on hand is a good idea.

Share the location why don't cha!

I liked the idea of using an old shirt as a target.any more life like and you would have to shoot at someone wearing that shirt
