It's not really central to the training of any top shooters that I know of. You'd get the same benefit by dry firing your real gun, for free.
but what if you were able to get the airsoft version of your real gun?
trigger feel would still be different, but I mainly want to practice for faster target acquisitions and transitioning into and out of positions

You're on the right track for getting really good at practical shooting. Check out Ben Stoeger's books if you haven't already. Go for the airsoft gun if it motivates you, just don't rely on it for accuracy feedback.
I tried practicing with airsoft in my basement. Even though I spent a couple hundred bucks on the gun, it was so inaccurate that it wasn't useful. That was some years back. Perhaps they are better now, but unless they've got rifled barrels, I don't think it works.
what kind of airsoft did you try?
was it co2?
Sorry, I don't remember the manufacturer. Cost was close to $200. It was green gas.
Airsoft guns use hard plastic pellets and they have no rifling in the barrels so it is no surprise that they aren't accurate.
I believe those books are possibly free on Amazon Prime as digital loan. I still have his 2nd one on wife's Kindle.
Hmm, might have to check that out if they are free. Don't want to actually give ben any money
when you say they are not accurate enough, what distances are you talking about?

20'.
Seriously, dude, I'm not screwing with you. Rifling in barrels is important. Airsoft barrels don't have any.

2" groups with this at 7 yards. It's what we use for scenario training, and it's barely a step above Wal-Mart quality.

gammon,
what brand is your airsoft guns?
so you have to be hooked up to the air hose while shooting?
do the slides blowback on your guns?

Ouch!
Ouch indeed! Is there a good story you aren't telling us Supermoto? Or is it just that's he can be an arrogant flip-flop wearing arse?
