I've been noticing a lot of threads from folks who actually use airsoft pistols for their training. My son is in to airsoft big time and the pistols look realistic enough, but curious on what you all think the advantages and disadvantages of shooting an airsoft replica of a 1911 versus dry fire drills.
Obvious one is feedback. I always shoot better dry firing than I do on the range so the airsoft option would give me feedback without having to burn powder.
Does an airsoft pistol's trigger pull approximate the trigger pull on a real 1911? Can they be adjusted?
I principally train with a Volkmann Combatant Carry and can be a little anal about training with the weapon you are going to fight with. That said, if an airsoft pistol can help with practicing some of the basic firing drills, may be worth a look.
