Get yourself a video camera and film yourself as much as possible. Especially dry fire practice. This will let you see areas that need improvement and Identify anything that could lead to bad habits.

WOW!!! Happy Birthday.

From a 1902 article. When traveling, always carry a tiny box of flaxseed for possible cinders. The instant a foreign substance is felt in the eye throw the head back and drop two or three flaxseeds on the ball of the eye and lift the upper lid and draw it down over them, so as to hold them in. There is no disagreeable sensation attached to putting the seed in, and the relief will come instantly. The moisture of the eye dampens the seed, and it gives out a mucous substance, which spreads over the eye and covers the grit. After awhile the seeds will begin to work out and Fix this textwill bring the offending particles with them

Continuing the keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Notice in the first video of TW shooting how smooth his transitions are. He already had is right hand on his rifle while still shooting the pistol with his left. Doing this takes practice and concentration as missing a pistol shot more than cancels out the time saved. More time can be saved with better transitions than can be saved pulling the trigger faster.

Looking at your fired case, It looks like it blew out into the channel cut into the barrel breach for the extractor. One thing I would definitely check is the head space to make sure it is not excessive. A picture of how far the rear of the firing pin extends beyond the back of the bolt with the action closed and the hammer cocked. If you can measure this distance it would be helpful.

No trigger block on a 92. So yes the hammer will fall whenever the trigger is pulled. Normally the hammer cannot reach the FP until after the lugs engage the bolt. In theory, this should prevent an out of battery discharge. Do as Sam Sacket suggested and verify the chamber doesn't have any foreign matter in it. Take a dummy round and drop it into the chamber. It should fully drop into the chamber on its own. If it doesn't there could be part of a broken case in the chamber or possibly some lead. Both can be really hard to see. You may be able to remove it with a brass brush. The best way to remove either is by filling the chamber with Cerro Safe (Just like doing a chamber cast) and then driving it out with a squib rod.

No. Takes too much force

True. You as a veteran paid for it by serving.
