Notes -
What are your thoughts on resting a pistol on the crook of your forearm (elbow bent into an L horizontally, gun resting on the elbow)? I've done it in VR because it looks cool, and kinda works to help with stability and arm fatigue, but I don't know how that translates to an actual gun. The Weaver stance doesn't really translate, because most VR controllers would physically intersect. Sigh, I wish I had a real gun, preferably three.
I've never tried that on a range, and I don't think I've seen it on one. With some snap caps it was doable but not comfortable, and maintaining a sight picture even while standing still felt rougher than strong-hand-only, and while moving it was actively frustrating. Didn't feel either terrible or strong from a recoil management perspective, though without live fire that can be misleading.
That said, I'm not particularly strong as a pistol shooter (and mostly stick to .22 and .380) myself and definitely far from an ISPDA pro, so big grain of salt. There may be advantages that aren't obvious, or I might just not be good enough to use it properly (or even position it properly). That said, if you're having fun with it for VR shooting, that's all that really matters when fighting with H3vr.
If they're not banned in your jurisdiction (and not 'legal-but-sketchy' a la UK), springer or compressed air pistols can be an inexpensive and indoors-friendly option. Won't get you much a grip on what recoil's like, but the difference between 22 and heavier-duty airsoft is smaller than you'd expect.
