ASP Red Gun Replica for Training and Practice with Martial Arts, Defense, Props, Tactical, Law Enforcement, and Military

This "ASP S&W J Frame Red Gun Training Series" is an excellent classroom aid for teaching proper handling of firearms. We teach both children and adult firearm safety classes but have a strict "No Live Firearms" policy in the training rooms, so this give us the capability to demonstrate safety issues without the possibility of mistaking it for a "real" gun.I like the weight and detail, which helps students take it seriously.Highly Recommended!CFH

This is my second ASP red gun and I'm even more impressed with this one than with the first (ASP H&K P2000), which looked a little wonky. This is a great cast and a faithful reproduction. It's heavy and durable and will take unbelievable amounts of abuse. Edges are sharp and lines are mostly straight. The two sides of the cast don't quite line up, but that's just me being picky. If you're using this for training, you won't care. If you're using it as the base for a project, as I am, you'll find that it responds well to sanding and filling. I use ASP products at work and I use them at home. Quality stuff.

Great training aid. Very strong can take a beating and still preform. Same dimension as the real thing so fits in your holster.

These are the best training guns out there. They make it possible to practice drawing and sighting without any fear of damaging a live weapon or an accidental discharge. They are also great for retention and disarm training.

questioning the quality of the item

I bought this trainer because it's a replica of the PX4 storm that I own. I also just went through a seminar of unarmed defense against a gun attack and this trainer came in very handy. This is good quality and feels good in the hand.

Original Review: Great details and great weight, perfect for training.Train with weighted Red guns.I would buy non-weighted guns for retention drills, don't want to drop it on someones foot.Updated Review: I have updated and dropped the star rating on this as I was able to handle an actual USP .45 Compact. The red gun USP compact .45's (that I received) grip was significantly of less girth than the actual pistol, it was even of less girth than the .40 cal version of the same gun. I found this to be disappointing.

works fine in some holsters, this is not as good a product as the rings blue gun but it works as it was intended as a simulator for class or self defense work.
