Anyone Use A Laser Training Shell?

[LarryP]

Anyone use something like this? Are they worth the money?

I have one that I use once and awhile. It is sensitive to it's orientation in the bore, the laser must not be 100% centered in mine. It works well for dry firing at the clock or inanimate objects on the wall.

They can be a good training aid for practicing dry fire drills or seeing how your breathing and trigger technique effects where the bore points. A bit more effective then balancing a dime on the end of barrel.

Yes I have one and use it regularly for dry-fire drills and general trigger control actions as described by the other poster. The custom caliber ones (LT-9 etc) are good but somewhat prone to switch issues. Mine is currently in for repair at Laserlyte however it has several thousand dry-fires on it so far. When the trigger is pulled, they light up your target for about 1/10th of a second.

I would rate them very good, but occasional issues reported by users drops the rating down from excellent. You don't need to matching target which is pretty pricey. The ones that go in the barrel are sound activated instead of firing pin actuated.

I've been using a laser cartridge as well as the laser target. Easy to use in the house. Product review in the link.
