Does anybody use this? I just ordered it with 9mm and .380 laser cartridges. It was about $150 with the extra cartridge. It appears to use the camera on your phone pointed at a target to capture the laser hits and records them on the phone.
https://www.itargetpro.com/ Dan Bongino recommends it (They are a sponsor on his podcast) and since he was a USSS training officer I figure shouldn't totally suck. |

I have it and use it once in a while. It was worth it to me. No substitute for the real thing.

But has it really helped you on drawing quickly and still keeping on target?

I haven’t used one personally but listening to some well known instructors talk about laser systems, they aren’t too keen on them. People using them tend to develop a habit of looking for the laser to see if they hit their mark. Looking over the sights, etc. I guess if you keep that in mind and know its a possible training scar then it might be beneficial. I have heard good things about the Mantis system.

That makes sense. Sounds like you'll have to have self control on making sure your going through the sights and not looking at the laser. Now, is the laser on the whole time or does only come on when you press the trigger?

Laser is momentary, when the firing pin hits the cartridge.

Hadn't seen this but looked at similar offerings. I found a great deal on a SIRT pistol, though, so I grabbed one of those. I didn't like the idea of having to reset the trigger every time. That's part of my issue with the MantisX that I picked up, also. I've been using the Mantis first so I haven't setup the LASRapp yet for the SIRT. However, what pushed me over the edge was a concealed weapons seminar I sat in on recently. Regardless of which route you take, it was very cool to get immediate feedback on your shots. That's the downside to the Mantis. Both are great training tools, though.

I've had mine for a few years. Wife got it for me. I love it. I dont shoot in the summer time here in AZ so that's when I use it. Its 100 times easier to use with hammer fire vs striker fire. That being said, it's great for holster drawing or just regular fundimentals.

Do you have to use their specific cartridges, or can I buy Amazon knockoffs for additional calibers? Kharn |

Brother in law got one for Christmas and it seemed like a good idea to avoid ammo costs on basic skills. Recommend or not? link
