FYI, I have a Tokio Marui Hi-Capa airsoft, that I have dry-fired... I have no idea how many times - it has to be several thousand, as I had it next to the couch in the living room for a couple of years, taking 'dry' pot-shots at various things in my living room. Anyway - it works absolutely fine, as always, but over time, it acquired a decidedly non-1911 'roll' trigger, presumably from wear between the sear and hammer (the relationship between which is similar to real 1911 parts). If I were to use it for practice now, I'd buy a new hammer and sear for it. I have other airsofts, though, so this is a very low priority...
Like John said, the triggers these things have are quite light, but they can be made heavier - up to a point.
Frankly though, if I'm looking solely at trigger control and/or sight picture work, I'd still opt for a dedicated, single-shot airgun... I spent the last few days doing some casual plinking, using my 'childhood' Webley Hurricane air-pistol (long discontinued). I'm literally angry at myself, for setting it aside for as long as I did. A heavy, ugly beast, by airsoft standards, at least it has a nice, heavy-ish trigger. Its weight is adjustable, but who cares - it's great for practice as it is.
Too many people miss the silver lining because they're expecting gold.
