My carry weapon will be a 4" Kimber 1911. I just so happen to have had a CO2 BB gun in the 1911-esque design of the same size. The weight and aesthetics are different, the fundamentals would be nearly the same, (if treated properly).
I have a cheapo one size fits most IWB holster that would fit it as nearly as my carry setup will be, (I'm an Illinois native so I'll be new to carrying). Again, its not identical and not a substitute.
How do you guys feel about using the CO2 pistol to train with: holstering, drawing and the such. My reasoning is its a non-legal and far less dangerous to myself and the home method of practicing fundamentals and trigger work in a fast mode rather than using the 1911 in a slow and dry fire capacity.
It's no substitute to actual training, I know, but do you guys think that I could learn and develop holster work and drawing to fire with quick target acquisition effectively using this method?
Please, any comments and advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
