Ya know, I have a son who is almost 2 years old, and I've given a lot of thought to how I will teach him firearm safety, and I'm planning to use Airsoft pistols as well once he's older. If I teach him to treat the Airsoft like a real pistol, it should make his transition to "real" guns smoother.psehorne wrote:I've been teaching my grandsons firearm safety at home. First with an airsoft replica of a Sig P229 (full size metal full weight, slide recoil and all). I drilled them over and over (not just oral instructions, but actual physical drills) on finger off the trigger, point at target, finger on trigger, finger off trigger, point at ground in front of you, repeat.... No matter how many time you tell someone orally it doesn't build muscle memory.... Once they 'almost' had the hang of it we repeated with one of my real pistols and snap caps... I had to repeatedly point out that they were keeping their finger on the trigger.... Only after I said "I can NOT take you to the firing range until you demonstrate to me that you remove your finger from the trigger every time you remove the aim from the target." did they get the message.
