Going after your PAL and RPAL is a far better option than getting an airsoft pistol. Get a real one, snap caps, a range membership and develop and build on fundamental shooting skills.

That being said, police foundation courses are no replacement for life experience. Almost all agencies want some level of post secondary but they want someone with life experience more. School doesn't teach you how to interact with people, shrug off statements made with attitude, or respond reasonably when it's easy to hand back attitude to another individual.

Training with a real pistol is going to be more beneficial than an airsoft one.
I know it isn't a guarantee, but I'm trying my best in school at the moment to make it as guaranteed as possible. I don't see how anything I've posted could be used against me.

As I said in my previous post, I've gone for my PAL/RPAL already - I'm just waiting on licensing now. Once I get it, I can't see myself buying any pistols because, as far as I'm concerned, RS pistols are a waste of money in Canada.

And, I agree. My main intent when I started out was to get my security guard license, and get some actual experience as far as that goes, but ended up staying for PoFo.
