I have been fiddling with training in a 9-shot revolver using nail gun blanks. They are nice because they 'feel' different than regular rounds and can help identify poor trigger control. Once fired, they do not swell like a regular round, so you can use them as training dummies. Try loading a cylinder randomly with spent blanks, live ammo, and live blanks. If your sights don't stay dead-on when there is a click, you have a problem.
