Reset & Squared Away
Dry-Fire · At Home
20 easy reps of whatever felt worst this week — your log knows which. Then clean the gun, run a function check, and audit the carry rig top to bottom. Ten honest minutes, then actually stop.
Live-Fire · At the Range
Optional 20 rds max, slow fire on the squares. Otherwise dry only — recovery is built into the program, not a day off from it.
Service Pistol
Weekly check: duty gun lubed, light charged, retention smooth and quiet.
Concealed Carry
Re-set the carry rig exactly as you wear it daily — belt, holster, spare, all of it.
Carbine
Lube the BCG, witness-mark the optic bolts, check every sling and mount.
No standards today. Showing up lightly IS the standard.
New to this? Today, print the Dry-Fire Safety Card and post it where you train. Day-one habit.
Your Daily Callout — By Archetype
A reset is not a stand-down. Ten disciplined minutes — then stop. Actually stop.
Review your first few days like an AAR: one honest sentence each. Patterns show up fast.
Maintenance is protection. A clean, checked gun is a promise kept before it's needed.
Build the maintenance checklist once, run it forever. This day was made for you.
Light by design. Onboarding-friendly — gear, safety, and gentle reps.
- Treat every firearm as if it is loaded — always, no matter what you think you know.
- Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you have decided to fire.
- Be sure of your target — and everything beyond it.
Dry-fire: no ammunition in the room. Verify the firearm is clear — twice. Use a safe backstop. When you finish, say it out loud: “Dry fire is over.”
The Four Universal Safety Rules

- Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you have decided to fire.
