I agree that a person should be familiar with the particular nuances of their trigger and the fundamentals of marksmanship... that said, I don't sit around dry firing a gun over and over and over. I train fairly regularly and shoot my gun, that's how I become accustomed to the trigger- I shoot it. I carry a gun for self defense, not bullseye shooting. If I were trying to light matches at 25 yards, I would probably feel differently about trigger work..but that's not my gig. If I need a gun, it will likely be as fast as possible and no time spent savoring, creep, stage, stack, wall or brake or reset. I will just pull it if need be and I not likely remember anything about the pull. Again, I am very familiar with my trigger but I don't participate in any sort of dry fire practice, never have.

I will dry fire a gun 10 -20 times when I first buy it, but that's it.
