Where would I get the "dummy" guns from for training or demonstration purposes? Not sure what they are called, but thought some of you might be able to point me to some resources of where to get them.

I also want to have some t-shirts and ball caps printed with my company logo that I would like to have for sale in my classes and the gun range. Do you guys have any particular company you recommend for this?

Last question on this post - what about accessories that you might want to have available at your classes like belly band holsters, pepper spray, tactical flashlights or anything like that? Do you go direct to the manufacturer and order in quantity from them or are there wholesalers/distributors out there that I should be looking for?

Thanks!!

Here's what you likely want:

Rings "blue guns" http://www.blueguns.com/default.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;?

or

ASP "red guns" http://asp-usa.com/training/red-guns/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

each available at countless online vendors and most police supply stores

These retail for about $40 each. Though I've lately seen a few cheaper ones at local Austin police store (GT Distributors) from Safariland or Blackhawk or some other brand that were about $25 each.

I have a few of these, but also found some relatively realistic looking plastic toy guns (shaped like 1911, Beretta, etc) for about $5 each at local HEB. I use these in class so everyone has something SAFE to hold while practicing grip, stance etc. in the classroom (so folks aren't handling their real firearms).

I have a couple of these in bright yellow, see link. They are cheap. They are not red or blue. But, they work great for class demos, esp simple stuff like indexing, using with flashlights, stances, etc. They are a little flexible and not quite heavy enough, but they do work.
