Dry firing will steady the gun while you pull the trigger which will help you shoot where you want to hit more consistently. If the issue that you are running into is flinching, dry fire probably won't help much (it'll probably help a little). Loading a snap cap randomly into your mags will help demonstrate to you if you are flinching. If you are aware of it, then you can practice controlling it. The more practice, the merrier (dry fire and live). I'm still very much a novice compared to many of the guys here, but I have seen improvement through practice.

If prices ever come back down and ammo gets easier to find, I'll practice a lot more.
