It wont fully prepare him but it will help him practice his form, which is one of the most important parts of compitition shooting. and i believe that is what he is looking to do. he wants something he can practice his form, movements and target aquisition with in his back yard since he cant just go to a range by himself cause he is underage.

This is exactly what I meant! I struggled with target acquisition  I ended up going to the local hardcore Airsoft store and bought a M1911 MKIII PTP by KWA. Crazy how realistic the gun is, now I can understand tragic accidents involving LEOs and kids with airsoft guns. The only thing I need to to is change the front sight to a Dawson Precision fiber optic sight. Funny how I went to get an Airsoft to escape the underage conundrum to get hit with the 18+ to buy green gas. Needless to say I got someone 21+ and bought 10 canisters of green gas and 5,000 6mm BBs. Everyone I met and talked to in the store and online forms has the utmost respect and courtesy, I might even look into getting a rifle now!

Ya I know not to use an Airsoft gun at the range. I would mostly setup possible stages in my backyard!

Personally I have never looked into Airsoft nor ever fired an Airsoft gun, but a friend of mine recommended using an air pistol to practice for IDPA & USPSA matches because I am not 18 and cannot go to the shooting range without a parent present at the time (bummer I know tell me about it). So here are some of my questions....

  • First of what would be the most realistic type of Airsoft, I would prefer it to be as close to a 1911 because that is what I use for single stack competition.
  • Can after market sights or grips be installed on Airsoft guns?
  • Would a holster for a REAL 1911 work for a Airsoft look alike? [li/]
I'm looking for something that would be the closest to the looks of a 1911 ( Same hold, same sights, and same safety location.) I am not looking reviews on how it will work in Airsoft competitions or whatever (Sorry don't take offense I have no clue on the vocab) I need a simple semi-automatic 1911 that I can use when I don't have someone 18+ to take me to the range.

Edit: I am not bringing an Airsoft gun onto a live range, I am using my backyard for any airsofting.
