asmurff Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 Who does dry-fire drills? And what to you use as back stop just in case you screwed up and left a live round in a weapon. I go to extremes to make sure I don't goof! Double and triple check, have someone else check, leave all live ammo left in a different room. Still I'd like something as a back stop. Has anyone built one by layering different materials without spending a fortue to stop a round. Or know where plans for one are at.
techmike Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 Are you talking .22lr or non-magnum pistol calibers? If yes, you can make a backstop from 4x4's. That is what I use as a safety backstop when chambering rounds in my carry guns. I used 4 pieces 18" long, glued & clamped, then ran a piece of threaded rod thru both ends to hold it together.
bgc Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 Place I worked for many moons ago had a corrugated box bundler. I took one of the bales for a back stop, works well, and is quite heavy.
asmurff Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Posted July 2, 2011 Sorry caliber up to .45acp, which is the one I train with most, followed by my .308. these are the two calibers I carry concealed.
imschur Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 LOL! I'm thinking .380...??I know but it's way funnier to picture asmurff limping around with an AR-10 stuffed into his jeans :laugh:
Microgunner Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 Maybe he's got a Thompson Center Contender chambered in .308 all holstered up. ;D
