I recently got a Glock 26 and since I can't get to a range very often (the only one nearby closed down), I dug up an old air pistol I had from when I was a kid. It's a decent model, a Webley Tempest, which generates pretty good velocity for an airgun. I started shooting it at home from 21 and 30 feet and am getting very accurate with it.

Does anyone else practice with an airgun? I'm just wondering if it's worth my time and whether any skills acquired would help in terms of shooting a "real" gun.
