Whilst I’m on the subject of training gear and simulation equipment, there’s some more interesting gear over at RAP4 including some decent looking P99 .43cal (~10mm) pistols. Powered by CO2 they take a plastic banana magazine and can be adjusted for power output.
Also available is a P226 replica which should hopefully be of interest to serving police units looking for safe and cheap training aids for simple training exercises. The P226 has been out and about for a bit and uses the same internal mechanism (for the simulation version) as the P99 above.
True they’re not 100% perfect in terms of the simulation effect, however they look the part, are functional in terms of action and controls and when used with the appropriate safety equipment are as safe as you can get.
