I think Ayoob coined the term 'Muscle Memory'
Primarily in reference to self-defense (and, I believe, the idea of sticking to one type of handgun for that particular purpose).
Back then, I was still under the impression that the 'all-around' handgunner was expected to be the master all types, so to be honest, the concept didn't sway me very much.
Now, I'd say it sometimes matters even when dry-firing, but that's just my recent experience.
There are also a few 'types' nowadays that I'd just as soon do without.
