• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Question for the "gun" people here

I'm considering getting some things to help me stay familiar with my carry pieces, and to try to get rid of some bad habits I've picked up from not being able to get to the range as often as I should.
Does anyone here have any experience with LaserLyte trainers? I have been to several dealers here that are on their website, but none of them have anything in stock. I like to try something before I buy, or at least get info from owners before I buy.
Thanks,

john
 
Lasers may actually harm your skills... :yikes:
You end up looking for the dot, rather than concentrating on...

What? :dontknow:




The FRONT sight! :2thumbs:
 
True ! Is more tacticool accessory, pitch black close range a red dot may help but range test & proper training cant be beat, look into,"front sight" training fore tips &tricks , very helpful fyi. & or just get the Judge! 410revolver & clear the hall! I get 20inch spread in 3foot with right rounds best home defense gun my opinion

I like the idea of the laserlyte but haven't actually used one. It seems like it would be good as it will let you save ammo yet still use your own weapon for training and you can move the target around.

I have the crimson trace o 2 of my pistols, but I find that I do much better with the plain old iron sights when shooting live ammo.

But they are 2 totally different systems and used for different purposes.

For those that haven't seen them:

Really?

Hi All,
While you are looking for the laser, the Bad Guy will shoot you three times.
Please shoot 100 rounds a week for 6 months and forget about aiming.\Good Luck
 
:agree: Kind of...
You need a pretty fair amount of range time, to work on your basic fundamentals.
Once you've got your stance, grip, sight picture, breath and trigger controls down; then you start working on speed techniques. :thumbup:
 
Okay, by way of explanation, LaserLyte trainers are NOT laser pointers, they have a system that uses barrel plugs, or cartridges, that emit a laser beam when the firing pin hits them. They have targets, including "cans" that react to the beams, and they have "pistols" that are made to match popular guns that have the lasers installed. So far, all I've seen are pictures, in their ads in American Rifleman and Shooting Illustrated, and on their website.
What I wanted to know was, does anyone have hands-on experience with the LaserLyte training system. I haven't been able to find any in my area, and don't want to drop 3 to 6 hundred bucks on something that won't do as advertised.

Ive seen much advertising on these. And agree it looks like great idea, especially since you can use it in your home or yard at anytime you want! No need to load up and go to your range and possibly wait in lines to shoot.

Could also be a nice way to get the wife and kids actively interested too. :thumbup:

I'm sorry; but I have to again state that there is absolutely NO effective replacement for learning what proper sight alignment looks like.
The laser will have you end up looking downrange for the dot, rather than keeping the sights aligned, and your eyes on a good sight picture...
(Sight picture: proper sight alinment; layed over top of the target...)
 
ONE MORE TIME

I am not interested in laser sights, and yes, I understand that LaserLyte makes some laser sights.
I AM interested in a training tool that uses lasers. The laser comes on momentarily when the trigger of the gun it is in is pulled. The laser being in the chamber of the gun, and aligned with the bore. By doing the "blink", it indicates where the shot would go, and can be used almost anywhere the targets can be set up.
I was hoping I could find someone here who had experience with this system, who could give me an idea of quality and others aspects of the system.

Whoops my bad, ok carry on...

I misunderstood your intended purpose, of this thread.

When you aim a laser at someone, intended target, they understand that you are already on target.
Green laser light, shows up way better than red ones, especially in broad daylight.

I can’t comment LaserLyte, but I’m using EOTech Beamhit 190. EOTech is more sophisticated system using a computer to provide the feedback, but the principle is the same. In my opinion dry firing with the laser is a great exercise developing muscle memory, correct sight alignment, breathing and trigger control. Of course you are missing recoil recovery and you can develop soft wrist habit. Overall, it’s great to have a short shooting session between supper and your favorite TV show. Just few minutes of practice every day will improve your technique more than visiting the range once a month.

Cez.
