Recently I have come across an article written by "Duane Thomas" for "Shooting Times®." They are reinforcing what we have known for some time now.  It is an excellent article and I would suggest all to check it out.  It the recent Personal Defense issue that is currently on the shelves.  I found my copy at a local Fred Meyers store.

It is a good read and everyone should take a look at this as a serious defensive training method.  At Black Sierra Training we have been using this as a method of training for some time now.  You can get good quality replicas or order a matching replica to your own at S4-Tactical in Hillsboro, OR.

Airsoft allows for continuous training during these economic times.  With high ammo prices with low availability having an alternative is much easier on the pocket book.  With the proper purchase of a good quality replica and a aftermarket accurized barrel.  You can achieve similar gouping you would with a normal pistol.  The range at which you can train is definitely within pistol parameters and is very useful as you can do so in your own garage.

So pick up a copy at your local store and check it!
