LaserHIT Dry Fire Training Kit

I've tried several dry fire training kits and LaserHIT is the best one. Easy to set up, very intuitive interface and easy to start.I've got three 9mm firearms and their bullet work with all of them.What I like is the kit has all the cables to start using the system right from the box. You don't need to go to BestBuy or any other stores for a cable or a stand etc.And the best part is, my accuracy has become better and better.P.S.Forgot to mention that it works with free targets as well

 I originally purchased the LaserHIT 9mm system for my brother for Christmas. I opened the package in order to familiarize myself with it, and I’m glad I did. At the time of this review I have 583 trigger pulls on the Laserhit, and was so impressed I kept this one and ordered another for him. I’ve been a firearms instructor for my local PD for 6 years, and I know family obligations, overtime, ammo costs etc prevent many of us from spending as much time on the range as we would like. That’s why dry fire practice is so important. I was impressed with the packaging and quality of not only the LaserHIT cartridge, but the enclosed targets and the IPhone app as well. Upon opening the app you’re reminded of important firearm safety rules before proceeding. I’m still familiarizing myself with the system and have done some slow fire bullseye as well as quick shooting practice. The LaserHIT app has been extremely accurate and effective at registering hits on target in different lighting conditions. I’ve trained in my living room, basement and gym, so far with no issues. The app comes with four stages of fire, the “Free Target” and “Black Steel” stages are free, while the “Top Score” and “Quick Hit” ones are 10$ each. I purchased the “Quick Hit” ( the one I’m training with on the video), and train to draw my weapon from the concealed appendix position. You draw at the sound of a beep, the exact moment of which you can set to go off at random times. You hear different sounds depending on where you hit the target, and a loud clear voice gives you the results. It’s a fantastic training aid for the concealed carrier. I’ve had poor customer support experience with products in the past, not so with LaserHIT. When I had a question, I emailed support with my cell number not expecting a reply that day. My phone rang less that 10 minutes later and I spoke at length with the creator of Laserhit, Dmitri. He was extremely helpful and assisted me with a few questions I had. In closing, dry fire practice is an essential training tool. Working on your draw, grip, sight alignment, front sight concentration and trigger pull in the comfort of your own home is a tremendous advantage for someone who takes their own safety as well as their families safety seriously. Don’t hesitate to give the Laserhit a try, train hard and be safe out there!

I will save the narrative and just give bullet points.PRO:1. Come on...indoor dry fire training is awesome as a game or for increasing your speed and accuracy.2. The technology works as advertised. I had no problems with the camera reading the laser or the system not showing me my results on the big screen.CON:1. Even though I bought the full $149 package, it still requires an extra purchase for the actual training drills. You do get two game modes included, but if you purchased the "Dry Fire Training Kit" to actually train...those two modes cost an extra ten bucks each.2. You have to rack every time you fire. This isn't a knock on the makers of this kit, as it is a function of the firearm, but still it prevents double tap and lowers the realism.3. The IPhone mirroring shuts off every time the scenario resets. I don't know if there is a glitch or if I have to change a setting somewhere, but if so, I can't find it.4. I purchased the higher dollar kit to get the WiFi and the full size tripod. My issue with the WiFi is #3, but the tripod is so flimsy and wobbly that every time I need to touch the phone, the app barks at me for shaking things up. No Bueno.Neutral:1. The set up is tech driven, but still confusing. Every function has its own separate setup and instructions that, aside from being small print, scream that someone was too lazy to consolidate the information in to single set up pages (printed and/or online). I understand that there are variables, but realistically there are only three or four major variations. They could hire a freelance tech writer to sort everything out in a week and the customer experience would be vastly better.Summary.This is my first day using and thanks to some confusion in the setup process, I have already contacted the manufacturer on an issue I subsequently figured out; but still this will open a dialogue on my other concerns. I started with a Three Star rating, as that has been my honest experience, however that rating will be adjusted depending on how LaserHit handles my concerns.

This works as it is supposed to. The 2 star deduction is for their app. It should automatically take a screen shot of the target when a shooting session is finished. Also, you only get 2 of the 4 possible practice types for free with the app. The other 2 are $10 each. The markup on this product is already really high but adding more cost on the back end is just insulting. Another issue with the app is that you can't move the area of focus when zooming in. It just goes in and out, you can't properly center the target after zooming in.

I didn’t realize how small the paper targets are. The instructions are printed very small and hard to read. However, for indoor dry fire practice the system works great. I ordered larger targets that I can set up further out and the system still works fine because you are still placing your smartphone near the target. As long as the camera can pick up the laser hit it will show up on the monitor. The only negative is that you need to rack the slide after every shot so there is no rapid fire option. It is a good short range practice system for in your home. Be safe and ALWAYS TREAT YOUR WEAPON AS THOUGH IT IS LOADED.
