Use of Lasers in Training
Lasers are an excellent tool for learning to shoot and also to improve your shooting.  I use them in everyone of my training classes.  My website under the products and services page lists all of the laser products that I own and have used.

One product stands out from the rest.  That product is the SIRT Training Pistol.  Depending on the model the pistol has a red and green laser or two red lasers.  The pistol is a duplicate of a Glock 17.  It weighs the same as a fully loaded Glock.  The trigger is just like the one on a stock Glock.  It even supports trigger reset.  When the trigger is slightly depressed a red laser is activated.  This laser shows where the pistol is pointed.  When the trigger is fully depressed a second red laser or a green laser is activated.  This one shows where the shot would have hit the target.  There is a switch that can be used to turn off the first laser so only the shot activation laser is active. 

With this product my students can learn shooting fundamentals very quickly.  The visual feedback provided by the lasers allows my students to quickly understand what they must do to learn to use the sights on the pistols when doing sighted shooting.  The SIRT Training Pistol is even more valuable when learning to point shoot.  The visual feedback provided by the first laser enables my students to quickly learn when their pistol is pointed at the target.  Acquiring the muscle memory needed to be an effective point shooter can be done in the classroom without expending hundreds of rounds on the range.  Once they have the feel for point shooting I take them to the range where they are able to hit the target in the vital areas around 98% of the time. 

One of the real values of the SIRT Training Pistol is how it facilitates learning to shoot on the move.  This is one of the few training tools that lets us do this in a classroom setting.  One can do this with Airsoft pistol but now we need protective gear.  With the SIRT no protective gear is required. 

With this training tool one can set up and run scenarios in almost any setting be it the office, home, or other places.  Since the SIRT is the same as a Glock 17 all holsters and other accessories work as well.  The magazines support mag changes and magazine access so everything one needs to be able to do can be practiced with this pistol. 

The initial offerings cost almost as much as a real Glock 17.  Later models became available at lower price points.  The latest model features a composite rather than a metal slide and two red lasers.  This model has an MSRP of $219.  A person can quickly amortize this cost with ammunition saving to say nothing of time saved by not having to go to the range. 

It is often said that the key to shooting well is dry firing.  The SIRT Training Pistol takes this concept to a whole new level. 

Take one of my classes and experience what it is like to training with this superb training tool.
