Wall Drill (Dry Fire)

Press the trigger while watching the front sight/dot against a blank wall — any movement of the sight during the press is a flaw to fix. No ammo needed, do this often.

Why this drill works

About as pure an isolation of trigger control as exists — no recoil, no noise, nothing to hide a flinch behind. Any movement you see in the sight during the press is happening on every live shot too, just masked by recoil.
