Practice gun for complete novices

Hi there! My husband and I recently purchased 2 Sig Sauer P365s. We're total newbies. I'm interested in getting a bb or pellet gun for backyard practice. I'm here to ask for recommendations. I see that Sig Sauer has a bb replica gun. Would that be the best option, or is there a suitable less expensive option? I appreciate any advice. Thx!

Define practice? Your best bet would be buying as much of the absolute dog shit cheapest ammo that they will cycle and spending as much time at the range as possible. Buy good ammo for keeping it loaded at home or concealed carry or whatever you intend them for etc. And only load up the cheap ammo for range time.

Yeah if you dig you can find garbage sterling steel case cheap. Every 5th one won't have the power to cycle the gun so it's also good for clearing practice.
