As a matter of fact, some airsoft guns feel like they have more recoil than a 22! You can also add in the benefit of not having to drive to the range to practice, plus its even cheaper to shoot.

All I need to do now to make it even more tactical is 1.) move out of Illinois and 2.) buy a suppressor. ;) I swapped mine to mimic the sight picture of my regular sights:

It was the most Tacticaller-Than-Thou thing I'd seen anyone do at that point. Check web forums, gun auction sites, and fleabay: You should be able to find burned-out Trijs or Meps (as appropriate) for a fraction of what new ones bring. :)

S&W? I wonder if it will be able to be added to ( barrel and slide ) to a 9mm or a 40? Please let me know! Who will be making the 22LR for the M&P? S&W?
I wonder if it will be able to be added to ( barrel and slide ) to a 9mm or a 40?

Please let me know!

Initial sight picture from draw or ready 2.) Developing field course skills/movement 3.) Developing accuracy/slow-fire trigger control 4.) Malfunction drills (with conversion kits) Great minds think alike? What is interesting is that all the people who train diligently using a .22/.22 conversion seem to have the same basic idea:

Nice thing is the Bersa has a .22 counterpart, Smith J frames have a .22 counterpart, and several fill sized guns also have units to convert them to .22 And yes, it won't replace all full power large bore practice but it will help quite abit. I'd say between gun handling skills and marksmanship skills it will do for 80 percent of the practice. Due to the cost off ammo, yea the .22 is very important.

Someone who has been shooting while planted in a lane can benefit a lot from SOM and sight-tracking using a .22. Likewise someone who hasn't been away from the range for a bit too long can get back in the game that way. Just don't forget to switch to a full-sized pistol once basic proficiency has been [re-]achieved. I agree up to a point.
