if you shoot competitively. Dont use it. Just for target/plinking it is fine. Its all I use and have cycled 1000rd in one session without a problem.

How does one reload a wolf? Is there a magazine I don't know about or are they tube fed like an old winchester? :shocked:

That's what I was wondering... I would think caliber determination would be a bit of a pain, too.

Cheap and reliable. It isn't match ammo but it isn't supposed to be.

it'll just be used for plinking.

I need to learn a better way to hold my guns too, especially the .45 1911 because that thing has massive recoil. Out 14 rounds I shot the other day, i think only 8 hit the target.

I ahve similar problems with my 9mm and my .380 but not near as bad. I've been shooting guns for years but i still always flinch too.

Dry fire with snap caps, load only one chamber in a revolver cylinder and spin it so you don't know when you will get the live one at the range, etc...

Practice is the only way to get rid of it.

i only have 1 revolver and thats a .22. would that help with semi-autos too? how exactly does that work too? i mean, with real ammo, i know every time i pull the trigger its going to go off, so i shoudln't be surprised.

You might want something with a more recoil as .22s don't have much. Yes, it will help with flinching on semis (or it did for me anyway).

i'm confused. what does recoil have to do with dry firing snapcaps?

snap caps in the semi-autos

provides a little noise and cushions the firing pin strike

:confused: do snap caps provide recoil too?

the way it sounds is that snap caps just provide a noise to help you get used to the loud sound so you don't flinch when the round goes off.

no recoil, but the the sound helps train you not to flinch

got any tips for recoil, like a better way to grip the gun or something? or is that just a keep practicing thing?

tighter grip and practice

you can try to strengthen the muscles that you use to hold the pistol as well, one old shooter told me to fill a gallon milk jug with water and practice holding it out like a pistol

Every? lol

seems to mostly be too low though.

load a mag with 4 or 5 rounds, shoot those 4 or 5 rounds... try to not look at the slide locking back... aim and squeeze the trigger again. notice how you push the muzzle downards as you're shooting? you're anticipating the recoil and pointing the gun down as you squeeze.

practice doing a slow squeeze and not letting yourself point the gun downwards.

my friend (and i originally) had the same problem.

practice, practice, practice.

It fouls up the AR-15 very quickly. But I can shoot almost all day with my ak-47.
It depends on the rifle and the caliber.
