Extra training tool I like: 100% inert training pistols … I got one as a referral bonus from USCCA, it’s a Glock 17G4 copy I believe, pretty much direct mold from a Glock 17 G4. I like to use it in drills involving disarming or demonstrating certain techniques.
At least working with newer owners, I have found that for things that it works for, eliminating the “real gun” to teach a concept can facilitate better learning as the “real gun” for that time, can be a “distraction” … whether it’s discomfort (just not being around guns or their own gun enough yet!), or excitement, get the learning done without that distraction.
Great idea!, a .22 is ood for just about anything and will save you tons of money on ammo. Despite what others may think, I use my 22 for shooting, practice as well as self defense. The best 22 ammo I have found to use is CCI Stinger, the velocity is very high 1600+. Some may disagree however nobody would want to get shot with one.
I also try to stockpile CCI Stinger when I can. I figure it’s probably the best i can do in terms of accuracy/precision to cost-benefit, and maintain a decent stock. Plenty of more “capable and accepted” calibers for defense, but I like to have my stockpile of .22’s for the Mk IV Tactical and this strange CZ 455 I have… Both of which would be quite capable if necessary.
