    Is anyone using these new 5.11 training barrels yet? How do you like them?

    "new"? I've had one for 4-5 years, and I've never really used it other than checking it out.

    It's cheap, but I'd much rather use a blue gun. Less potential for issues (dropping the gun, having it fall during a disarming technique, etc). If you want to use force on force, just use airsoft or marker rounds.

    I can see the benefit for the ones for the AR15 that replace the bolt carrier, but I don't really see the point for the training barrels in handguns.

    Well new to me I guess, I just saw them at uniform shop the other day.
