Dry Fire Laser Training Target - Universal Dry Fire Laser Training Cartridges and Trainer 2nd Generation Portable

I purchased the target/cartridge combo in .380acp. Super impressed with the packaging came in a nice well organized hard case. Set up is super simple. I had a little difficulty getting the cartridge in and out of the chamber of my smith and Wesson bodyguard 2.0. It’s stiff going in and I used a #2 pencil to poke the cartridge back out. Works exactly as it should and the visual and auditory response of the target is awesome. Makes dry fire training pretty entertaining. 10/10 recommend.

I bought the 9mm for use with several "toys" I have. It is so much fun. It allows me to practice my draw, moving, grip, stance, and aim in the comfort of my own home. Most nights I set it up and just plink while I'm watching television. I've also bought a second target as well, so I can set up multiple targets in my home and practice for a "worst case scenario." I've also been using it to teach other family members to shoot, who have never shot before. This gives them a quiet safe environment to practice grip and aim, without the noise of the range. The only draw back is that you need to rack the slide for each shot, but that's not a ding of this product, it's just something you have to do. There are products that will do this for you, but I really don't mind. I also have a toy with a hammer, so I just cock that before every shot. I've also encouraged other friends to buy this product, and have plans for an indoor tournament in the near future. The accuracy of my laser is spot on. The target works well, in both light and dimly lit rooms, and 3 sets of batteries were included (so I haven't had to buy any more--yet). The manufacturer also provided a spare striking plate for the laser round, which is a nice addition. The cartridge works flawlessly with 3 different popular brands of toys made in Austria, Czech, and USA. I read about someone having to grind down the laser cartridge to fit in their toy, in order to avoid the extractor, but I didn't have that problem.

Very nice and fun works perfectly

Works as advertised. But understand that for a gun with laser dot sight you cannot utilize the laser to aim as the laser will activate the device and it won’t pick up the laser emitted by this device from firing pin contact. Other than that, I wish the laser generator that goes in the chamber had a switch to allow the laser to stay on to facilitate setting up accuracy like a bore laser sighting device. This unit cannot function as that. It simply sends a very short laser dot to the receiving device which activates the receiver to respond with audible and/or visual notification you hit your target. If it could double as a bore site laser it would get 5 stars for sure. But it does what it is advertised to do and does it well.

Great way to practice on a budget. Not exactly what I expected, but easy to setup and use. It seems pretty accurate.

I've used several laser cartridges like this over the years, and this one seemed like a good deal and I liked the interactive hit box over a smart phone app and clamp like others have used in the past. The target box works great. Where the execution fails on this is the laser unit itself. For whatever reason the fit of some sort seems to be off or out of spec. I tried replacing the o rings, reseating it in different orientations, and even loosening the tail cap to tighten things up. No matter what I did, the laser would hit high and to the right in every single firearm I put it in. It baffles me how this happened and so consistently, it was about three inches high and two inches left at 15 yards when using it on my basement. It was so consistently off in everything I dug out my old failing laser unit I bought this new one to replace and the few shots I got it to work, my old G Sight worked fine and hit on point of aim, affirming that the unit I'm reviewing here was indeed the problem. The only thing I can think of is that something was out of spec in manufacture that causes it it point off axis, and very consistently. It was amazingly consistent in its being off-target, I just need a trainer where I don't need to aim at the bottom left of the target at 15 yards to hit COM while training.

Great foot practicing at home saves money instead of going to the range

Work good! Wish they would have provided something to distract the laser instead of instructing you to use a pencil down the barrel.

This has helped me do more training
