Minimal Flinch!

This is one of the main reasons why I record myself shooting. I review the footage and learn things about my training and myself. The videos help me assess myself.

In this case, I was practicing two days ago and was using a Prodigy DuraMag that sometimes randomly doesn't lock back after the last round.

Typically, when this happens to folks, they catch themselves flinching. Sometimes instructors use snap caps (dummy rounds) to test folks to see if they're flinching, but when they do this, the person being trained is normally aware that at some point, a dummy round will not fire. The best way to test ot to test when the student isn't aware that the next round may not detonate.

In this video, I barely flinched. If you look very closely, you'll see that there was very minute flinching. I did NOT know that this was going to happen. It had been a good 500 rounds since this last happened with this particular mag.

This is a good sign that my training is going very well, as far as flinching goes.
