5.0 out of 5 stars Very Cool Gadget!!, January 30, 2010

If you are serious about learning to shoot; (SAFELY) dry firing at targets, at home, is one of the best ways to improve your skills. This laser gadget Laserlyte 9/10/45 Pistol Laser Trainr Md.# Lt-Pro fits (adjustable 9mm to .45acp) into the end of the gun barrel. It puts a red laser dot on your target exactly where you aimed, every time you pull the trigger. It is activated by the sound of your trigger release. It works great! It saves a LOT of ammo money too.

As the instructions say, DO NOT store with the batteries engaged in the device. Speaking from experience, doing this will zap the battery in no time. It comes with a little plastic spacer you can use to insulate the battery terminals from contact while not in use. However, this thing is a light transparent yellow and very tiny. Easy to lose.

Safety tips. I use targets tapped to cardboard and put them away after every use. Put your loaded magazines in a different room while practicing. I literally say out loud "my practice is over" when I am done. This may sound goofy, but I've many stories about "trying one more shot" after they have reloaded. Sorry about being preachy, I'm a safety guy. :)

I highly recommend the laserlyte to improve your shooting skills.

4.0 out of 5 stars Needs Some Engineering Improvements, January 23, 2010

By 

Doc H - See all my reviews

This review is from: LaserLyte Pistol Laser Trainer (9, 40, 45-Caliber) (Sports)

Works as advertised, compact so it doesn't interfere with holster training, relatively inexpensive (best price is on Amazon). The reason I only give it 4 stars is that you MUST remove the batteries after each session (or use the little plastic spacer between the contacts) - a couple of days on the shelf will completely drain them. And to remove them, you have to take the device out of an oily pistol bore and attempt (emphasize attempt) to unscrew the end of the device, which is conical, smooth aluminum, without a vestige of grooves, notches, or anything else to achieve a purchase for removal - ditto on the threads seizing up (below); a little silicone grease seems to help. Unscrewing the back may loosen the adjustable plastic adapter that you have carefully adjusted to fit your gun, and might eventually strip the soft aluminum threads (so far so good though); a fixed, caliber-specific plug would make more sense. The screw that retains this gadget was also about 1/4" too long to screw into the end of my Laserlyte, so required some Dremel work to get it to fit. It's also not necessarily exactly aligned with the bore axis, so it's really an approximation of bullet impact for precise target work; a minor irritation is that it also flashes with every "click" of cocking the action, so C-O-L-T on my SAAs while cocking produces at least a couple of extraneous flashes - just the nature of the design. It's a great idea, and saves time, wear on your firearm and money, so I give it 4 stars, and really does work for general pistol function training, but probably needs a little more engineering to get a top rating. Another laser training device SureStrike Laser Training Bullet is available, more expensive and with its own limitations; both will improve your accuracy and handling skills between trips to the range.

*Addendum: I would add another minus after some use. If you are a serious fast draw competitor, the reset time for this device is somewhere around 0.5 sec or maybe a little more. If you are sub-0.5s for your draw, the laser may not reset in time after cocking to fire with the trigger pull, negating its usefulness for fast-draw practice.

**Addendum to Addendum: Based on newer reviews, I tried my unit in my NM Vaquero and by golly, it does work most of the time from the leather. Still lags on the reset from my SAAs, and I suspect it has to do with the sound of the cocking action between the two mechanisms; not sure but it may not activate at all when cocking the Ruger, so reset is not a problem with the Vaquero (most of the time). YMMV, but it's certainly worth the price for what it does....

I am delighted with this item. My shooting skills with live ammo have improved dramatically because of the time I've spent training with the Laserlyte LT-Pro. I use the Laserlyte primarily in my .45 Colt New Agent. (It also works well in my wife's .357 Charter Arms Mag Pug.) With the Laserlyte, I have sharpened point-shooting skills to where I can draw and hit the X ring quickly from 20 feet. I also used the laser to finally understand how to form a proper sight picture with the New Agent's notoriously difficult trench sights, letting me make much longer aimed shots accurately. The Laserlyte also makes it possible to practice shooting from difficult positions--seated, dropping to one knee, falling backward, etc.--without risking a toe.

It would have taken a lot of ammo to get me to the same skill level. With the price of ammo, I feel like the Laserlyte has already paid for itself in just a few weeks!

One little tip: The aluminum threads on the battery housing wanted to seize up the first time I used the Laserlyte. It took quite a bit of work to get the housing opened. I put the tiniest dollop of gun grease on the threads, being careful the grease did not get into the battery housing. That seems to have solved the problem.
