While waiting for the new Smokeless Range laser dry fire program to become operational my mind has wandered to some of the possibilities like…

• Can I use my own pistol with a laser insert?  Yes you can.  If you are already using a laser trainer it will work fine as long as it is a red or infrared laser.  Sorry green lasers do not work.
• How much to buy my own laser insert?  They range from $80 and go up in price.  You may want to hold off if you have a striker-fired pistol like a Glock.  You have to rack the slide every time you fire.  While this will give your fingers good exercise it could become tedious.  If you have a hammer on your semi-automatic you can get some good practice with your trigger pull and sight picture but double taps are not on the agenda.  My double action Sig Sauer would work great.
• Are there any good reviews on this technology?  Yes, I found a pretty good review dated 2015 that is worth a read.  Click on this link to read the review.

Haven’t seen much on revolvers other than the SIRT product line that has a training pistol like the ones we purchased that looks like a snub nose.  The revolving cylinder seems like it would be a problem using the cartridge and bore type training lasers.
