I wasn't expecting Spanish from you.

Tell us more - what is the purpose of the drill? Pitfalls? Safety considerations?
I think you have forgotten a thread from a while back where you taught me the term "Vivo y Pendejo."

My understanding of the purpose of the drill is to teach the shooter not to anticipate recoil and jerk the trigger. The shooter learns to squeeze the trigger smoothly because, when you hit the snap cap, you feel like a complete idiot if you jerked the trigger. I find that it is extremely helpful in this respect.

There may be other purposes or benefits of the drill of which I am not aware. I am not aware of any pitfalls or safety considerations at this time.
