Mantis Laser Academy Training Kit for 9mm, 45 ACP, 380 ACP, 40 S&W | Dry Fire System for Target Practice | Free App, No Subscription | Includes Training Cartridge

Like shooting? Want to get better? Want to practice without leaving your home? Want to have some fun and do something different. Want to ready yourself for CCW classes and home in your skill? Want something about anyone can use? Well you found the right tool for it all. This system works great! You can merely setup a single target or setup a course. This will ready you for the classes your about to take, help improve your aim, help you use techniques to better yourself, and best of all, you can do it anywhere an open firearm in your hand is allowed. I purchased the 9mm, and ended up getting a 556, 380, and 40s&w dry fire laser also found here on Amazon. All for wonderfully in the chamber (they are hard to remove due to o-rings keeping them snug). All work perfectly with this. I'm an absolute happy owner. If you're looking to do anything I've mentioned, this is definitely a route to exhaust and enjoy!

I am loving Mantis laser training academy. I can already see ways to improve my shots. For instance, I noticed that pull right slightly as I squeeze the trigger. On the range with the recoil it's harder to pinpoint exactly what I'm doing wrong. This is a great to save money on ammo while becoming a much better marksman. Lastly, the variety of drills, targets, and training courses available in the app keeps training fresh and keeps it from getting boring. Highly recommend.

Everything I'd hoped for and then some! I don't like having to rack the slide for every shot, but that's more a knock against my pistol than anything else. It's striker fired, but I think a hammer-fired variant might be a better choice for this application. After a couple of days I happened to find a TitanX Laser Training Pistol. That plus this makes for a hell of a little training setup! This also comes with a membership to Laser Training Academy which is all but required. The TitanX does not, so if you're planning on doing something with MantisX, you really should just get both!

I waited a while before placing a review. It is fun to use, quite a few different types of targets and the academy has quite some instructions which are especially useful for beginning shooters and maybe useful as reminders for more experienced shooters. The replay function so you can track again where each shot landed is something I like. The price is easily regained by the savings on ammo for practicing your aim. One word of caution; it DOES NOT completety replace live firing! It is a great took to help your posture, aim and consistency, but I would advice everyone to still visit a range at least once in a while to practice live-firing. The one thing I have an issue with is the relatively high number of 'ghots' shots that are registered. When I do 20 shots on an open target excercise, I often find 25 shots registered. When I do a 5-shot excercise I often only get 4 shots because a ghost shot is registered. Not sure where that comes from. However, unless you plan to use the app to compete with other participants this is a minor issue. The ability to shoot whenever you want to practice without having to go to a range is really helpful and saves on ammo. The ability to practice from unusual or even strange positions, or with turns, or while walking, (or even running) up to or away from the target (or for me, for instance without my glasses on, hampering my sight) is something most ranges don't offer but you can do that in your home or yard with this kit without any risk of someone actually getting shot.

This product is amazing. Great alternative if I miss the range due to work. Able to correct/work my draw and practice basic fundamentals without the cost of the range and ammo. Pros: Easy set up, Portable, everything is included. App tracks multiple weapons. Data is pretty close to what my shot timer displays. Cons: Resetting the hammer/striker each time. Makes it difficult for rapid follow up shot training Will definitely recommend

I researched the different products for dry fire practice and finally ordered this one. Once you download the app, it's fairly simple to set up and it walks you through the setup and calibration of the laser. I suggest going through the calibration several times with a few practice sessions in between just to fine tune the calibration and get the most accurate scores. The laser didn't work at first until I worked out that the tiny batteries were upside down and then it worked like a charm. The kit I bought came with small and medium targets and I appreciate the ability to fine tune my aim to smaller targets as I get better. Definitely worth the money! I would buy again!

I'd give this thing 10 stars if I could, This dry fire kit is amazing! I love the different targets, the immediate feedback and easy to use user interface. My wife and I both use this regularly and have even purchased the poster size targets for practicing at longer distances. It's honestly addicting to want to keep improving and practicing.

Mantis laser academy works fine with great training in various formats making it a fantastic program to use, however the reason I couldn't give it 5 stars was because the full height tripod is absolutely garbage, the legs do not lock properly and it is very shaky in use.
