About this item

Compatible with Your Shotgun or Rifle: 100% safe for your firearm, the cartridge will not damage the weapon during use; the back of the laser bullet has a rubber button pad that safely absorbs the impact of the firing pin
Improve Shooting Accuracy & Save on Ammo: A great alternative to snap caps, our dry fire laser cartridge eliminates range fees and quickly improves accuracy and draw time; the cartridges are manually aligned at the factory to ensure accuracy
Train at Home: Safe, non-damaging and quiet, the Strikeman laser cartridge makes no sound and performs similarly to a dummy round by protecting your firearm when you fire; our unique rimless design prevents ejection of the cartridge for uninterrupted training on most calibers but please note the laser cartridge is not meant for continuous light emission or sight honing
Advanced Shooting Technology for All: Used by police officers, military and special ops for years, Strikeman has finally made dry-fire training affordable for everyday gun-owning Americans
Pairs with the Updated Strikeman Target & App: When you use this product with our Target and smartphone App (sold separately), you get real-time feedback of your shot accuracy and tracking of your improvement over time; listening to user feedback, we’ve updated the app to improve ease of use, enhance laser accuracy, improve rapid fire detection, and add timer options

Product description

Strikeman Laser Firearm Training

Is dry-fire training useful and beneficial without recoil?

Yes, it’s actually essential. By removing recoil, our dry-fire training enables you to focus on accuracy, trigger control, and reaction time. This builds muscle memory, consistency, and confidence — things you’ll need in live fire situations.
Do I have to rack the slide after every shot?

The slide won't get racked because there’s no dry-firing explosion. Double-action weapons can fire the Strikeman laser bullet without racking. If you use a single action weapon, Glock or 1911 firearm, you will need to charge the gun before each shot.
Is purchasing the Strikeman Dry-Fire Laser Training System worth it?

Our dry-fire training system saves you money in the long run! You'll spend way less on ammo, range fees, and gas getting to the range. Most customers have saved hundreds of dollars per year, if not more, by training with Strikeman.
Do any firearms require a different caliber than traditionally required?

If you have a Girsan 9mm, use a .380 laser cartridge. If you have Tanfoglio 9mm, the barrel of this weapon is too tight for our 9mm laser bullet; please use a .380 ACP for this firearm.
Are any firearms not compatible with Strikeman laser cartridges?

We have identified a very small number of firearms that are NOT compatible with our current cartridges: Ruger SR series, Walther PPK, Walther CCP, Beretta AX100, Beretta 92X Centurion, Marlin 336, SAA 1873 Replica, Winchester Model 54, Savage 110.

I bought this to help sight in my new 300 black out. At first, I thought it was the wrong size because it's not marked as you other Stikeman's training lasers are, but I have to admit I was wrong it chambered perfectly.
I read that some other people had issues with the battery running down after a few shots, or it not working., but after an hour of dry firing I had zero issues. I find it as well built as my other items from Stikeman's and just as reliable .
the price is well worth it for the purchase.

It was fun to dry fire my riffle. I found it more fun to use natural landscape and birds as targets.(I ha be a clear backstop, a mountain) I did not need the app. I did try the free version of the app, but I could not get it to work. I did not order the kit, just the correct lazer bullet., so, it did not come with instructions. Note: you need to put the batteries inside. Also needed is a removal tool (your cleaning rod will work). I put my rod in till it touched, then just gently hit the handle end, until my cartridge popped out. For safety, always clearly communicate out loud you are dry fire practicing. Remove all ammo and other weapons to a secure location. Upon completion of dry fire practice, communicate out loud that you are done dry firing. SAFETY FIRST! I love this .243 laxer cartridge!

Really good idea. My wife got me one of these with the target for Christmas in a different caliber. I liked it so much I got this additional caliber. This is one of the products that makes you wonder “why did it take so long to be brought to market”.
One important note. I was having issues with the laser being activated when the charging handle was released rather than upon trigger pull. I took it out to put it away and noticed the battery chamber wasn’t completely screwed down tight (by no more than 1/10 of a turn). That small difference was the issue. So be sure the battery cap is fully screwed snug. The tolerances appear to be pretty small - which makes sense and is a good thing.

Bought two of these (.223 and .308) to work with my rifle and the Strikeman system, and to sight in a .308 without spending a ton of money on ammo.
.223
Pros:
- Easy to set up
- Works on the Strikeman system (See my Strikeman review for specifics)
Unknown:
- Battery life - Not sure how long the batteries will last, they did come with a 2nd set.
Cons:
- Hits are a couple of inches low at 40 ft from my optic but that is to be expected based on what my optic is zeroed to. 45 degree irons sights are more on target.
.308 (Same as .223 unless noted below):
Pros:
- Worked well in my AR-10
Cons:
- Did not work in my bolt action .308. Would not go fully into the breach and could not close the bolt all the way to use.

cartridge does not align properly with the barrel causing the laser to reflect off the barrel and not produce a dot. Do not buy this item. Only go for the pistol cartridges as there is list likely to be an issue.
This this is far too expensive to have such poor quality

I'm not crazy upset at this one since it works, but it has some drawbacks.
Your average practice laser does not have a circuit to turn it off- so when you press the button, it completes the circuit and the laser stays on. ( so if you release the firing mechanism, the laser will only turn on for the time that it is struck)
This laser has a circuit in which no matter how long a firing pin strikes the button, a laser will only fire for a fraction of a second. This is not terrible. it's great actually. The main caveat is that every battery I put inside this thing keeps dying. I'm not sure if the circuit is efficient. I feel like it's design is causing somewhat of a "phantom" power draw. - This can be observed by the slight amount of infrared that can be detected while batteries are inside the unit. Could just be a defect for mine, I don't know. So far, this thing has killed all batteries I placed inside it. I definitely fired less than 20 times. It seems the only way to mitigate unwanted power draw would be to remove the batteries while not in use. Not exactly the most convenient thing to do for this price point.
