Dry Fire Tools

What do you guys use to assist dry fire training ?
Simulators, lasers etc.

I use snap caps with my hammer guns and rimfire's and I'll dry fire my strikers. I actually practice sight acquisition almost every day where I'll draw and pull the gun up to my line of sight to see where my eyes land. I do this for muscle memory training.

I do the same with sight acquisition everyday.

It's good practice that most take for granted.

I use a combination of things for dry fire training. I use LASR both their app and the classic. Here is their link https://lasrapp.com/ you can get 10% off using code NEXUS10. I also use the Mantisx system, https://mantisx.com/ no laser needed and will help out a lot. I also use a SIRT training pistol, https://nextleveltraining.com/produ...586-c15f-413a-b957-706eca09da1e&affiliate=977. I use a combination of these when I train a class.

I have looked at the Mantisx system and thought about purchasing.
What version do you have?

I have the original version that I bought shortly after their release. I am looking at the X10 for more training flexibility.

I also use the original MantisX. Will be trading it in soon for the new one. One of the neat features is the ability to create groups and have competitions.

 

[Baldone]

Yeah the trade in is a great asset.

Has anyone looked at the iTarget stuff at https://www.itargetpro.com? I saw an advertisement for it in Shooting Illustrated or some such magazine last year, and thought it looked pretty cool - laser is in a cartridge that is in the barrel of your gun, and the striker or hammer trigger the laser. Scoring is from a smart phone in a sled at the base of the target.

With the lack of ability to go to my normal indoor range, and being at about 150 rounds of 9mm in the house, I am thinking of getting something like that for dry fire type training. Working from a home office, I could just keep my XDM on the corner of the desk and practice throughout the day...

I was not that impressed with the itarget system. with the LASR system I can use any thing as a target including the larger targets. Also with the LASR system if you wanted to buy multiple licenses and do a house clearing exercise.
