I haven't bought one yet, so I can't help you out. I'm about to buy one, though.

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.

Sorry for the hijack as well. I will continue to draw, reload and dry fire with my duty pistol, but there's a tendency to be dishonest in calling hits and fooling yourself that you actually got a good sight picture and good trigger press when just dry firing. I think the airsoft handgun will give me the feedback to keep me honest. Also, while there won't be enough recoil to work on recoil managment, the sights lift a bit when the slide cycles, so you can work on seeing the front sight lift and settle.
There are some competition shooters in Japan that don't have access to a real firearms that practice exclusively with Airsoft guns. (Probably the guy in your video). They do very well when they travel to the US or the Phillipines to compete. So it's a legitimate training tool.
The FoF applications can be huge but that's probably for another thread.
