I tried a search but if there is something out there, the fu is not with me. I have a few questions.
1. Are there any local ranges that allow you to holster draw without a bunch of to-do? I recently visited Freestate for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed my time there shooting both my pistols and my AR. I have been planning on returning there to practice firing from the holster draw and some malfunction drills until I found out that you have to be a member to be 'holster draw certified' or whatever they call it. I don't make it to the range as often enough to justify the $250 membership fee.... I don't have the $ anyway, which is why I usually don't make it to the range that often. I obviously have no problem letting the RSO or whoever else observe my technique for safety reasons.
2. Is there any difference between dummy rounds or a snap caps? I know snap caps have a spring in them that absorb the firing pin strike but I don't know if dummy rounds do, or if there is really a difference. That being said, should I use one or the other when doing malfunction drills? Can anyone recommend a brand or particular kind?
3. Anyone have any fun malfunction drills they want to share? I had planned on going with a friend and loading each others mags with the dummy rounds/snap caps to simulate malfunctions and incorporate this into our holster fire but would like some other ideas if anyone else has any.
