I got the 9mm version. All in all it performs as advertised. Considering current covid situations, access to ranges, cost of ammo, etc, I thought this would be an effective tool for dry fire work. An app on your phone tracks the hits made from the laser device put in the chamber of a pistol. Takes some fiddling to get it all working as intended, and the app has some good directions on it as some the web site (1), but once you get the set up right, it works well enough.
A also purchased the phone holder as have several camera tripods and that works well.
It does allow you to practice some things some ranges - indoor ranges specifically - don't always allow, such as drawing from the holster, and or drawing from concealment and such, so that alone is a win I thought.
The app allows you to scroll to see where each of your shots landed one at a time in a 10 shot group, so that allows you to see how your grouping developed.
Criticisms are all minor, like I can't seem to figure out how to get out of the app once it's open and end up rebooting the phone to close it. I gotta figure that one out. They may want to include a wooden dowel or plastic rod for removal of the laser device in the chamber. Someone might use a screwdriver or something and scrape up the barrel or damage the device, or at least tell people to use only soft objects made of wood and such to remove it. I know this ages me, but it was not immediately apparent where I was suppose to download the app. I found it on the Google Play store, but on the instructions in the box it should say something like "before you start, go download the app at ..." kinda deal. Some of us are just not that app savvy.
As i said, all minor stuff a little tweaking would solve and I'd conclude this is an excellent product for enhancing dry fire practice, especially due to current issues mentioned above.
