+10 at Jason for his response. He wants more trigger time with his frame/trigger. If practice with your carry gun is important to you, then that's a good reason. Me? I carry three, no make that four 1911's on a regular basis, depending on what I'm wearing, or where I'm going. (NO .. NOT at the same time! LOL). So trigger feel is a bit different on each, as is sighting, etc. For me, the Buckmark provides the basic skills.

Of course... I reload, so my per shot drops like a stone compared to factory ammo. But 22 is STILL much cheaper!

Shot a little more than half of a 525 count box of Rem Golden Bullets today. The box cost me $20, so that's basically 260 rounds or so of shooting, for $10.

Gotta love it.

I spent most of the time drawing from concealment and placing controlled pairs, shooting at a 5" steel popper. Also practiced shooting while moving, and some one handed shooting.

After I shot the .22 kit, I put my .45 slide back on, and ran the same drills with it. Although the recoil for that first round of .45 after shooting all those popgun rounds a was dramatic ordeal, I could easily tell an improvement in my speed and accuracy from the draw, as well as the speed of my follow-ups. IOW, the kit is working.

I gotta say, this is squaring up to be one of the best gun related purchases I've made in a while.
