Thanks for ur suggestions. I was looking for a reasonably priced training ammo and ran across it in the net. It seemed like a childs idea to me. I was interested in feed back from someone knowledgable on real training. I am training on my conceal carry strongside draw. Single out of the draw with a two handed double tap follow up. I'm still a lil slow in my opinion but I'm not trying to force it. Rather building technical and muscle memory. Any advice. I like the pencil advice.
Well that's great to hear! Training...such an excellent concept. What you've described is exactly what I use snap caps for. I've used a full length mirror as well so I can watch muzzle movement in the reflection. I found it even more useful learning to work with a double action revolver. The mirror trick allows me to work on my draw, muzzle placement, sight picture, trigger pull (with the snap caps of course) and firearms clearing procedures as I can use the snap caps to simulate a dud primer. Just something to consider as it's not something that works for everyone. Just remember not to have a laser turned on if you use the mirror technique, it's easy to get it in your own eye that way. (yes, someone I know has done this)
As for the el-cheapo ammo, since I shoot 9mm (.45ACP got too expensive) I've found the Winchester bulk box to be cheap enough to suit my needs. I stay away from steel cased ammo as I've been witness to too many issues with it, it seems the imported military firearms built for the stuff don't seem to have very many problems, but the firearms built for brass certainly can.
If you get any of the wax ammo to try, post up your thoughts on the stuff. You never know when someone else might have the same question you had.
