How well does training with .22LR translate into shooting with larger calibers?

How well does training with .22LR translate into shooting with larger calibers? Is it different with a rifle versus a pistol?

I have a Browning Buckmark that is rather unreliable and I'm thinking about selling it to pay for 1000 rounds of 9mm.

    general shooting technique is something you burgers do not have and probably never will.
    selling firearms is the most homosex idea i have read on this board either.
    you are a colossol homosexual.

      Its homosex to sell something you no longer want? Keeping shit you dont like forever makes no sense.

    eurogay sport shooter here, 22lr is an excelent caliber to practice proper stance, grip, aiming and shooting technique. putting hole on hole on 15-20y with a tiny bullet from a simple pistol is a good training for bigger calibers.
    it will however not help you in the slightest if you ever think about using a gun in a defensive scenario, that's an entirely different discipline

    It's good for learning fundamentals/mechanics. It's not massively different from other calibers except in rapid fire, but as that's something mostly needed in defensive shooting that's an entirely different skill set involved, and won't have much carryover beyond having learned shooting fundamentals.

    does anyone know the case of that one jap dude who autistically trained with nothing but airsoft his whole life but kicked a whole lot of ass at a competition when handed the actual firearms his airsoft ones were modeled off of?

      I heard of him, but it was drowned out by the sounds of Lucas' boytoy mouth frotting on my junk.

    Pretty well as far as sight acquisition, trigger control, presentation, etc goes. Obviously it really doesn't help much with recoil control and can even introduce grip issues in that area if you go back to shooting it a ton from shooting larger calibers. Pretty much exactly what you'd think tbh.

    You start children on a .22 for a reason. It's the easiest to use when learning the basics. Once you have the basics, move on up.
