Laser training cartridge
Has anyone used these?? Thinking about getting one to dry fire with....just to see if the laser agrees with my shot calls.
Thanks in advance;

Not I, I dry fire on a wall....but not nearly as much as I should.
This looks cool, has recoil too

Re: Laser training cartridge
Anything that gets you to train more is good. Some folks get bored with dry firing pretty quickly.

If you meant the kind that sends out a laser pulse when the hammer falls, I tried to use one with a video camera on the target. The laser blinked so fast the camera missed it more often than not, even at 60 FPS HD.
Re: Laser training cartridge
The biggest issue I found with most of the laser training kits is that they wind up training a shooter to look at the target (to see the impact). That's almost like jumping in the scope to look for the shot. And that's exactly what I do not want to do.
I want time to call the shot, then verify the impact point. Very few of the kits and equipment do this.
I found it was better to just dryfire and really concentrate on the sight alignment / location than using something that did not suit my purpose better.
But any training is better than none, just watch out for any other potential consequences.

Re: Laser training cartridge
Thank you for the advice and information folks.... and it's all pretty close to what I was expecting to hear. Sure would be watching for the dot to flash on the target when the hammer falls. I dry fire every day....and it's working. Sometimes the hold is dead still for a second or two, but my biggest problem is in getting a decent tigger pull to go with it. Almost have myself talked into getting the roll kit from Mr KC soon.
I've been lurking around here and reading for a couple months now and have learned a bunch. Mostly that this kind of shooting is the toughest to do, and also the most rewarding when I get it right. (that don't happy very often though).
Again, thanks for the replies

Re: Laser training cartridge
I used a rail mount laser for a bit and it was useful for seeing trigger pulling movement with iron sights. The problem was that I could not focus on aligning the sights and watching the laser at the same time and it was distracting. I removed it and focused on being able to call my dry-fire shots.
I also shoot air pistol in my garage and like that best for practicing, because I get instant visible feedback.

Re: Laser training cartridge
Based on advice from Jon I use a dot. The one on my was gun. That provides all the feedback I need.

You can always train dryfiring with a coin sitting on top of your muzzle.
