What drills do you find are best to train the muscle memory for pistol shooters?

I like to review the 8 fundamentals of pistol marksmanship during a dry fire session, just prior to shooting a variation of the 1st Session of SFAUC markmanship. I use this session myself when I've been unable to get to a range in a while and on anyone new to the team that I want to assess. I also modify this a bit for a warmup on viturally every range.
8 fundamentals:
Stance, Grip, Sight Picture, Sight Alignment, Breath Control, Trigger Control, Follow Through, & Recovery
Dry fire 5-10 minutes from position 3 to position 4
5 meters, Slwo Aimed Fire, Double Action/Single Action, 15 rounds, 3 inch dots
5 meters, Ball and Dummy **, 5 rounds, 3 inch dots
5 meters, Slow Aimed Fire, Double Action/Single Action, 15 rounds, 3 inch dots
7 meters, Slow Aimed Fire, Double Action/Single Action, 15 rounds, 3 inch dots
7 meters, Ball and Dummy **, 5 rounds, 3 inch dots
7 meters, Slow Aimed Fire, Double Action/Single Action, 15 rounds, 3 inch dots
10 meters, Slow Aimed Fire, Double Action/Single Action, 45 rounds, 6 inch dot or 25 meter pistol tgt
15 meters, Slow Aimed Fire, Double Action/Single Action, 45 rounds, 6 inch dot or 25 meter pistol tgt
** note the responsibilty of the coach/loader during BAD firing is to observe the shooter (pistol) to see if any errors in fundamentals can be seen and not to watch for where the bullet impacts.
This works for me and the guys on my team. The variation I use to warm up on virtualy every range is this course without the ball and dumm.
By the way, we outshot all other teams in general markmsanship and stress event during 2/10s last SFAUC training.....just a little brag!
