Thanks for all your replies! This is definately all good input.

I used to practice at least once a week, 5-10 times each way, standing in front of a mirror with a snap cap in the hole and one in the magazine. I practiced FTF drills with them; pulling the trigger, tap, rack, fire again. Different scenarios: pulling the trigger
1) as soon as I can, for close scenarios (barrel parallel to ground up to two handed support)
2) as soon as I can while retreating for close scenarios (barrel parallel to ground then up to two handed support)
3) full draw with two handed support then fire, presumed ~1-2 seconds time for warning

Now, I have extended my practice to inlude the full weight of the loaded magazine with all these drills, with a snap cap for FTF drills. This is an excellent idea, Sparks2112.
