Others Replicas of actual firearms

Does anyone actually use a replica of their powder burner to practice trigger time or on that all BS? Example Glock 19 9mm you can get a bb version from Umarex with blow back. Waste of time ?

I have replicas, but not of any PB I own, and not for practice trigger time. I have seen people comment on doing so before, if you trust reddit posters/commenters.

Yeah somehow I feel like it’s not the same

I have no clue but a guy that shoots a lot once told me trigger time is trigger time?

Generally if it's good enough for really good practice, it's pricey.
But you can often work on the fundamentals with a lot of replicas, and we all can use more of that.

Guess you can practice your draw, concentrate on trigger pull, do mag swaps

Guys are using them for draw practice and sight picture acquisition.

Some ranges don't allow for draw/fire drills due to the risk of something going wrong. With a replica BB pistol you can practice in your backyard or basement. SIG is big on replicas for this reason. They make for a good training aid.

Good point brought up on ranges. Unless you belong to a private range they won’t allow tactical drills so yeah maybe bb is the way with a replica

I set up and run the air range at our clubhouse. I do a lot of training with very young shooters with pistols at close range. I am trying to set up monthly "open to the public" practice sessions for kids from 6-20 years old. Training will cover proper pistol handling done safely, pistol storage, shooting practice and general guidelines that follow along the conceal carry guidelines. This training is not available for shooters until 21years old. Many young people will get some kind of exposure before that time. It would be better to have this training in a controlled environment before any permits are issued. I plan to use a number of replicas for this project. I have the Sig 229, 357 Crosman revolver and others models in pellet platforms and enjoy them all. They are not as accurate as my "bug killer" Diana chaser setups, but they are more realistic.
