Well, after I went out pricing ammo, ($10 at walmart) I decided to spend the $50 on a CO2 6mm BB replica semi auto that grip and size is close to mine, 600 glow in the dark BBs and 5 CO@ cartridges.

I made another IWB holster for it that puts it at the same position and cant, and practiced with that in the garage last night.

I shot well over 150 times on the same CO2 cartridge, and it is still going. This should get the muscle memory going well, break the recoil anticipation habit, and save me some $$$.

I plan on going to the local ultra book mart and getting the two books mentioned (Kill or Get Killed and Shooting to Live) and working on this for about 100 shots per night, then switch to my carry and work in the safety release and dry fire (snap cap). I wish I could say that I will do live ammo every other week, but I know that will be more likely 1x per month if I am lucky.

It may not be the real thing, but at least I am throwing something downrange where I can see where I hit and make adjustments, I am at home in a heated garage, and extremely low risk of damage to property/self.
