An investment in a .22 lr upper for your pistol can also be utilized. In short order it will be paid for by the cost difference in ammunition. (current availability of .22 lr might be a problem for some, but it should level out in time)

For draws and first shot it is typically exactly the same. Multiple shots is not giving you the recoil however, so I practiced my draws and first shots, then switched back to real ammo for my controlled pairs or multiple target engagements.

For most of us that carry as civilians, first shot in my opinion is going to be the most important.
