Dry fire training devices... Any firsthand experience out there?

[Panhandler80]

So my wife expressed some interest in the Strikeman system, which I'd never heard of. I have heard of Mantis, but have never used it, or any other system, for that matter. I also don't know anybody who's ever used any of them?

Are any of them worth a darn? Seems kinda like a gimmick to me. She's already a good shot in terms of self-defense. I think familiarizing herself with carrying / drawing / etc would be time better spent that playin on an App, but I could be wrong.

Any of you have any firsthand experience with any of these deals?

I dry fire a lot. Its an excellent way to stay sharp.

I have a couple different systems but most times I don't even break them out, just either dry fire or insert a laser bullet.

I think the best is just to buy a laser bullet- about $12. That gives me the feedback I want- which is 1) was it an accurate shot....and 2) did I move the pistol- laser held steady- when pulling the trigger.
