Do you own a "Blue Gun"

[HD1911]

I think I might get one now.

I see little to no value in Training Weapons.

Do you do weapon retention/disarm training with working guns? Not taking a shot - I'm genuinely curious. It seems like you would get sliced to ribbons on the sights.

I purchased my first blue (orange) gun because it was on the "required gear" list for a CQT class that did a lot of retention/disarm work. Even that was a little sharp until I hit it with some sandpaper

You learn real quick wear not to grab someones firearm...

I own a blue magazine. Its solid polymer with weights inside so it feels like a loaded magazine. I bought it to familiarize people who had never held a handgun with the handling, loading unloading etc. Using that Mag first then switching to a real Mag with snap caps has worked pretty well to safely train someone that has never touched a handgun.

I was rethinking the expense of a training gun when I realized that I spent more on ammunition yesterday at the range than the cost of a Blackhawk Orange Gun. Might as well get one. If nothing else, the training one can help keep the shape of my leather holster when I have the real one locked up.

I have 1 that I leave in the leather holster so I can practice and the holster stays formed.

Not yet, but I will.

I'll also be trying to find an airsoft replica.

I don't have any blue guns but I have a couple airsoft guns that are correct size and pretty close on the weight.
