The gun handling habit you can't break

[Alan]

I still ride the slide forward on pistols sometimes instead of releasing it properly. I know it's wrong, I know it can cause malfunctions, but 15 years of doing it makes it stick. Old habits die hard, even when you know better. I am working on it, but muscle memory is stubborn.

Muscle memory is stubborn, my hands still do things my brain already corrected.

I still catch myself doing little things like that, too. Muscle memory is strong. The only thing that helped was slowing down when I practice and making sure I do the right thing every time.
