But, to say that it is a waste of money to do it when you train on a regular basis is just wrong. You lose nothing but, a couple of bucks more a box.

Also, it doesn't hurt that you get a feel for it in what you are carrying. If your main reasoning is because you don't want to waste the money on training with carry ammo then, um well, I can't help you. Maybe you need to get a second job to pay for training with what you carry. I see absolutely no downside to training with carry ammo and training ammo whether you are a LEO or a civilian.
