I am considering investing in a .22 conversion for the G17/22/35 sized pistol.
I've thought about what purpose it would serve in training, and this is what I've concluded.
They would be great for plinking and perhaps hunting.
They would allow for muscle memory develop when drawing and firing the first round.
Most importantly, they would allow the user to develop point shooting skills inexpensively. A .22 won't provide realistic recoil to practive with. However, it will give a shooter immediate feedback when developing pointshooting skills (where the bullets go). I came to this realization while shooting an air soft gun (which would also work well for this) and after reading an article on the superiority of point shooting skills for close combat situations. Since there is little time to focus on the frontsight at close ranges, and the bodies natural tendancy is to focus on the threat, a .22 conversion on a mainside arm will allow the user to become more accustomed to the grip and trigger will doing point shooting drills.
Just a thought I had. What are your thoughts on point shooting and practice for this?
