That's also an excellent way to cure "trigger flinch." I
used to load up some very light rounds and some fairly heavy
rounds, mix them at random in a speed-loader, and fire them
off. Helps keep coordination as your hand gets fatigued, and
cures (or prevents the start of) bad habits.

My youngest had a problem with that and we went to the local shooting
range where the instructor who runs it is a former Marine pistol
instructor.

That's exactly what he did - I had never heard of it before.

Neat technique.
When I was on a rifle team we used to shoot in pairs on occasion - one
loads the other shoots. Sometimes you load, sometimes you don't.
Really points out flinching.
