No airsoft pistol will replicate the recoil of a real gun. But quality airsoft pistols operating with green gas (propane) are credible and useful training tools. They generally cost between $150 and $250. We use them in our NRA Basic Handgun classes (before our live fire exercises), and they really help the students start to get the hang of trigger control, sight alignment and trigger reset.
