Yes. This.Don't just dry fire a round. "Call" your shots. When you drop the hammer, you will know exactly where that imaginary projectile would have gone. Call each shot even if only silently in your mind. "3 o'clock", "12 o'clock", "X" etc.

yupReally I think its because it isnt "fun" like going to the range. It feels more like exercise or work.
I agree with all that 100%, but it's still incredibly boringDry firing should be the basis of all marksmanship training regimens. It's a very useful tool...
Too many people think having a gun is all they need for self-defense.
On a positive note, I've convinced the wife to dry fire. Victory!

I want to get one of those laser pistols to make it more fun, but they are kind of expensive. I'm wondering if a realistic airsoft might be better.

I use the Laserlyte cartridge and their target. PM me for a video of me training with one on my couch. I use it 3-4x each week for an hour to 1-1/2 hours.Yeah the laser guns are expensive, but Laserlyte sells a laser cartridge that you can use in your own firearm. I think they sell for $70-$75. I have one in 9mm and .45 ACP. Been using them weekly for the last 6 months. I don't have the reactive targets either. Just a B27E silhouette tacked on the wall. You get instant feed back, and it's great for draw and shoot practice.
People can do a hell of a lot of repetition and gain a hell of a lot of neural memory, to the point of achieving subconscious competence, with dry fire, and entirely for free. It's a win win. There are only a few things you can't train with it, obviously, such as recoil control.
