Dry practice is the key to quality shooting. I wouldn't do dry practice just to break in a gun, but I do a lot of dry practice to work on trigger control.

Without exaggeration I have well over 100,000 dry presses on my carry gun alone. I've got plenty on other guns as well. With guns I use regularly, I do at least 10:1 dry presses to live fire. With the guns I use the most it's closer to 30:1.
