1. Mantis BlackbeardX Dry Fire Laser Training System
Highlight: Transform your AR-15 practice with the Mantis BlackbeardX Dry Fire Laser Training System, delivering instant feedback and unlimited trigger resets for realistic, hassle-free training at home.
Supportive Review: A true Game changer for training. If you have many many years of trigger training from whatever department or agency you were with, then you may not need all the telemetry of the Blackbeard X, but you will want the laser and the trigger reset of the 1st Gen Blackbeard. For the rest of us that want to getting started or just wanting to be better with our time to target and trigger pull than the X is where it’s at!. I use the app at home setting up my own training scenarios and the telemetry is very nice. But, 1 once a month I get to use it in CQB training and all we need is to see the laser and feel the trigger reset. Very versatile. I bought the red and my buddy bought the green. He likes the green as its a different color than his optic and green shows up better outside where he like to train. -Kat
2. Mantis X10 Elite Shooting Performance System
Highlight: Unlock your full shooting potential with the Mantis X10 Elite Shooting Performance System, delivering real-time, precision feedback to improve accuracy and consistency like a pro.
Supportive Review: Overall I love it. I just received my X10 today and have shot the introductory course and a few drills. It is fun, and I am a better slow fire shooter than I thought I’d be based on my scores (mid 80% to low 90% scores) in open training.
I like seeing the trace maps, the shot analysis screens have a lot of useful data and there are hints and video demonstrations on how to correct the issues the app detects.
There are also multiple dry and life fire detection schemes you can select. There is one for double action, but I’m not sure if it is for DAO or DA/SA. Nevertheless, the universal dry fire setting works fine with my DA/SA so no need to change it. They even have a C02 setting for people who want to train with airsoft replicas or BB guns.
The kit incuded a universal barrel mount for long guns with several rubber spacers to accommodate different diameter barrels, and it also came with a universal picatinny mount that has the option to use the double sided tape or a screw to mount it. I used the tape to mount it to the base of a magazine after cleaning it with alcohol, and it sticks on solidly.
The app has numerous drills and training courses. I am looking forward to completing them. I started the Basic Marksmanship course, but it looks like you need to dry fire for 4 days in a row before you can advance to the next step. I am looking forward to seeing what other challenges there are as I move through the courses.
The app will even calculate your ammo savings cost when dry firing. I’m not sure if this algorithm is updated, but it’s still fun metric. The X10 cost is close to a 500 round case of centerline pistol ammo. You can easily shoot that up in a couple of weekends at the range, so long term this is going to pay for itself many times over.
I did experience an issue with the first one I bought where it wasn’t detecting the gun in the holster correctly for holsterdraw analysis, but after exchanging it, everything is working as expected now.
I do think once you get above around 90%-95% the analysis results are sort of moot because at some point you are detecting very minute movements. The way the system works is it detects the direction the gun is moving at the time the trigger breaks, and then reports an “error” based on this direction. But if you are an experienced shooter dry firing, and hit a 95% shot, the minimal muzzle movement at that point could be attributed to anything from gust of wind to you own heartbeat. For much larger movements and shots scoring below 80%, I think the analysis is much more applicable.
In any case, ultimately, the goal is always just going to be keeping the gun perfectly still on target as the trigger breaks. And this system definitely will help you to focus and concentrate enough to improve. -RoninUT
3. LaserLyte Quick Tyme Laser Trainer Target
Highlight: Instant feedback meets fast-paced training — the LaserLyte Quick Tyme Laser Trainer Target helps you sharpen accuracy and reaction time right at home.
Supportive Review: The LaserLyte system (blue pistol and target) does not come close to an Olympic laser target rifle or laser target pistol in accuracy, but it’s accurate enough to be credible and it provides an entertaining taste of the inevitable future of shooting for an amazingly affordable price. Future of shooting? Roll the clock forward 30 years when electric car battery technology has enabled high powered laser weapons. Why inevitable? Cost, plain and simple. That will be then, this is now. So what does the LaserLyte bring you today? First and foremost, its only operating costs are occasional transfusions of dirt-cheap AA batteries (target) and LB44 coin batteries (pistol). Second and significantly, you can shoot in the privacy of your own home, day or night (it’s virtually silent) without endangering your housemates or pets.
Third, it’s just plain fun! Whether you’re practicing quick draws or concentrating on bullseyes, the blue pistol handles well and the target’s LED “bullet holes” provide reasonable feedback. Most likely, you’ll get into a “groove” with the LaserLyte in your own, unique style…and you’ll happily “blast away” several times a week (or day). Then the telling question may occur to you: “How much money do I need to spend and how much lethal firepower do I need to exert to kill sheets of paper?” Enjoy!
4. Mantis X3 Shooting Performance System
Highlight: Mantis X3 Shooting Performance System gives instant, data-driven feedback on every shot to help you improve accuracy and consistency faster than ever.
Supportive Review: Was a little skeptical if I’d actually like it, but I’ve been having a good time with it. I feel its helping me get a smoother trigger pull after only a few days. One thing to note is this device doesn’t care about how accurate your shot may be. It only evaluates your shot technique. Gives you tips, charts, and drills to make you faster and smoother. If you want to test accuracy and not care about technique then get the laser training academy. It only focuses on accuracy and maybe speed. They can both be used at the same time for a complete package, but I haven’t got the money to buy the academy yet. Overall, it actually makes practicing more fun and changes stuff up a bit. -Chad
5. Mantis Laser Academy Training Kit
Highlight: Master your aim anywhere with the Mantis Laser Academy Training Kit’s realistic, on-demand dry fire feedback.
Supportive Review: I researched the different products for dry fire practice and finally ordered this one. Once you download the app, it’s fairly simple to set up and it walks you through the setup and calibration of the laser. I suggest going through the calibration several times with a few practice sessions in between just to fine tune the calibration and get the most accurate scores. The laser didn’t work at first until I worked out that the tiny batteries were upside down and then it worked like a charm. The kit I bought came with small and medium targets and I appreciate the ability to fine tune my aim to smaller targets as I get better. Definitely worth the money! I would buy again! -April S
6. Strikeman Dry-Fire Laser Training System
Highlight: Perfect your aim anywhere with instant, realistic feedback for smarter, safer practice.
Supportive Review: Absolutely does not require a subscription to practice your shooting skills. There are advanced features that do require the subscription but not for improving your skill. It also does not require access to your contacts. Don’t believe any reviews that state otherwise.
Quality… yes, the target stand and phone stand are cheaply made plastic items, what products today aren’t?
Ghost shots, I had them at first because I did not zoom into the target when I calibrated it. Instructions clearly state to fill image on phone with the target. I recalibrated exactly per the instructions and no more ghost shots. It’s simple, don’t have anything other than the target itself in the picture. You will need to have the phone close to the target.
Great system, saves lots of money.
I bought one for myself then 2 more as gifts, it’s that good. -Maccalum
7. G-Sight ELMS Plus Cartridge Dry Fire Laser Training System
Highlight: Experience pinpoint accuracy and realistic recoil feedback with the G-Sight ELMS Plus—your ultimate dry fire training companion.
Supportive Review: I purchased a G-Sight laser 9mm insert a couple of years ago. It has proven to be a very high quality product. I had questions, early on, and the owner of the company spoke with me personally regarding issues that I was having. Fast-forward 2 years: the insert finally wore out, after literally thousands of “shots”. I tried a cheaper insert, as I had several times in the past. Every unit purchased was returned, due to the fact that each time I inserted them into my gun, the laser pointed a different direction, junk!
I got smart, again, and ponied up the bucks for a G-Site ELMS kit. You get what you pay for! My new laser insert is spot on, even better made than my first one.
Don’t waste time and money. If you want the best laser practice system made, the choice is simple, G-SIGHT ELMS!
Update: I had issues with my laser module, which is quite unusual for this level of high quality product. I contacted the company on a Sunday, not expecting a response until later in the week. I offered to send my laser in for inspection. The chief operating officer responded to my concerns the same day! A new unit is on the way! This company operates on a foundation of integrity, and deserves our support! -Steve
