With the increase of ammo, are people starting to run .22lr conversions during classes?
I know I sure as hell could attend more classes if I were to run .22lr instead of .223. |
| I see that as being a not so good idea. .22 can be a great training aid in some ways, but if you are going to a class you should train how you would fight. That would include that same magazines, weapon functions, recoil, noise, etc that your AR has when using 5.56/.223. |

I wouldn't go to a class with a 22 conversion.
However, I do use my 22 conversion for transition training and for general CQM drills at my home range. Reps are reps, as long as I don't include reloads (since the BDM mags don't BHO like a standard mag, even with the BHO follower). |

Also malfunction drills would not work, but I would bring a regular gun for those drills. |
