So, my Laserlyte training kit came today and here is the promised range report.

It is going to do what I want it to do (help me with dry practice) but the total is definitely less than the sum of its parts.

First the pictures that they post on the net are very deceptive. The actual target is 2.5 X 2.5 inches and the frame is 3.5 X 2.75 so you have to be a pretty good shot to start with to use this thing. Of course there’s some benefit to that because you have to really work on shot placement with this thing.

Second the Bluegun that comes with the trainer bears no resemblance to any firearm I’ve ever shot. The grip is roughly the size of a double stack magazine; it feels like you’re holding a broom handle, not a Mauser broom handle an O’Cedar. That said the universal cartridge will fit in any gun from .380 to .45 ACP so you can use it with your gun.

Finally the universal cartridge is sound activated and it doesn’t always light up (When it’s in the bluegun) but that’s not necessarily bad because it’s a perfect opportunity to practice tap rack bangs.

Bottom line you’re better off getting the specific laser cartridge for your gun and the target and skipping the blue gun altogether

Thanks for the report. Sounds like it would be a decent tool.

One note: Rather than "tap, rack, bang" say "tap, rack, assess". You never know, you might not need that shot.
