If you're not confident enough to play with the real deal and get accustomed to the risks involved in saving your arse, you may just not commit to the move even though you've done it millions of times in practice with a training gun.

It's not for the feint of heart, but it does give one more confidence it can be done in the wild and not just a training environ
While I am not trying to start an argument and I DO respect your opinion and experience you can train to what works but I still think its a risk vs. reward thing and risk is way to high. To think only training with a loaded gun is better than empty is just risky.

I don't mean to be an ass toward you or how you do things just not my stile so no offense intended.

I just think you all are nuts
