Say your time and ammunition budget are limited. What’s the best bang for your literal buck? How far can dry fire really get you?

I’ve shot a little GSSF but wonder if trying USPSA would be pointless if dry fire is most (or all) of my training.

Really far if you do it right

If you’re really low budget, dry firing is a great option. It really helps with trigger control.
You don’t have to use a specific structured regiment/competition.

When I was 17 and got my first handgun I just practiced in the backyard when I wasn’t dry firing. I’d line up targets after I got the fundamentals and work on transition speed.

Dry fire a lot, or buy a bb gun

ICORE. Long creepy triggers force you to get good. The guns are already obsolete, so you don't face an arms race. Grandpa's k frame is perfectly competitive in classic division with a $200 action job.
