(If you haven't looked into airsoft guns lately, they can be very sophisticated, especially for the 1911/2011 platforms. Plus, unlike a .22 conversion, you can practice in your garage, instead of driving to the range. That is another big reason to incorporate them into training.)

Peregrino Sir, Leozinho, would you care to elaborate which brand, fps, etc? IIRC, Guy has also started years ago using air**** for training sustainment, and Paul Howe uses them for cheaper force-on-force than simunitions.
I found them most useful for basic ie. dry fire (even if the trigger pull is different), draw-present-scan, retention exercise, reload, and target(s) acquisition/transition drill. With no recoil and zero ballistic, pretty much useless for anything else. Speaking of reloading, if Travis Tomasie is fast, this kid is a little faster (copy and paste) youtube.com/watch?v=_aI4n6YaycM Reminds me of the Sparrow boys clip NDD posted years ago.
This may be redundant, but dry wall and other common household surfaces don't get along with those seemingly weak BBs. The SO might ask what caused those tiny dimples 
Sorry for the hijack, Pete..and I'm done discussing air****. Please don't smite me, TS
