Do u plan on using it as a training tool? That was my thought when I first saw it.

I have a Glock 19 airsoft gun that is blowback operated so you rack the slide to chamber a pellet and the slide moves with every shot. I also have a rifle that I use so I can train in my basement or garage.

Nice new addition btw.

I always wanted to go mag only paintball. I could never find anyone that would invest in the equipment

I purchased a gas blowback Glock 19 to practice drawing, sighting, and getting off first shots (since follow-up shots aren't realistic without recoil).

The airsoft pistol fits into standard Glock holsters.

There is no way that it would be safe to walk around with such a "toy" in public. When placed right next to a real Glock 19, they look nearly identical...even upon fairly close inspection. I don't even practice with it in my backyard because the neighbors would probably call the police.

I can absolutely see why police shoot people who point "BB guns" (media's term for Airsoft replicas) at them.

This is cool to have as a fun toy but I never liked the idea of saying these things are training tools. Not even when something is converted to 22LR. To use it to become familiar with the manual of arms (although this particular one doesn't even reciprocate the slide and the mag is a thin stick) is one thing. But the recoil, and muzzle blast aren't the same. There's really no substitute for the real thing.

I have a spring powered P226 and G17 which are almost indistinguishable from the real ones. Even in terms of weight (thought the SIG being plastic is obviously a lot lighter; there is a lot of weight in the magazine though).

As you said, "There's really no substitute for the real thing." However, these can be good training tools. Mine function like the real thing, and require the same manual of arms so its good training for muscle memory. It's also great practice or transitioning between firearms. Of course I'd rather be shooting the real thing, but for those times where there's no time to get to a range and I would like to get some reps in these are perfect alternative. I would never recommend something like this over practicing with the real thing, but to use them in addition to training with the real thing I think it's a great supplement.
