Not sure if this is the correct Forum for this question. Please advise if there is a more appropriate Forum. Has anyone used the LASR software from SureStrike? If yes, do you feel it's worth the expense? What's the effective distance from the target? https://www.laser-ammo.com/L.A.S.R.-Professional-Software-License.html As you may know, the software works in concert with their SureStrike red laser cartridge for various pistol calibers. I have the cartridge for 9mm and the 40 S&W + 45 ACP adapter kit for the spousal unit. Really like the cartridge for dry fire. Wondering if I sure spring for the software.

Anyone familiar with the Sniper GP01G 1000 lumen foregrip light with green laser? I'm considering this for my new Gen12 semi-auto shotgun. Possibly for my POF 308/7.62 as well. Opinions on foregrips vs. no foregrip?

I have a seven-month-old Crimson Trace CMR-206 green laser. The side paddle switches no longer function so it can not be activated. When it was active, I had to remove the battery to turn it off. So, I filled out their site warranty claim form. It shouldn’t have been a problem, right? It has now been over two months. I have filled out the online form twice. I then sent two emails to their customer support and sales email boxes. Then I found their phone number and called. The recorded message said they are not accepting phone calls due to the Corona virus situation and to email customer support. I have now sent a total of nine emails to them garnering a single automated response promising someone would contact me. That was three weeks and three more emails ago. I continued to send the pleas for help to both email boxes. Does anyone have a contact email address or phone number that might work? As you can tell, I am very frustrated by the lack of response.

Anyone have any experience with the iTarget laser system https://www.itargetpro.com/collections/frontpage Thinking about using the laser/target, but use Stoeger (sp) dry fire drills

First, I do not have a stake in this company. I have tested the imarksman DryFire app for the iPhone. I responded to a post on Facebook and was sent the app to test. As far as this program, I had also been following it online to find more information about it. There I could not locate that much information pertaining to it. I sent Andrey a few messages and he was more than happy to answer my questions. About 2 weeks later I bought it for my Birthday. My first problem I came across is that the iMarksman only works with Windows based PC'c, and all my computers are MAC's. Luckily, my wife had a Windows based laptop that I confiscated to use with it. Oh ya, I hate Windows, installing the program was easy. Dealing with the security in windows sucked. I contacted Andrey and he assisted me in dealing with the windows security. Did I mention I hate Windows. Once I got everything installed, I set everything up in my guest bedroom. After having a few issues with the calibration I decided to go back and read the instructions. Ya, I know I should have done that from the start. After spending the next few minutes reading everything I got it set up and calibrated with no problem. The current system with the IPSC software comes with the camera that captures the laser hits, tripod for the camera and the software. There are about 15 courses that come standard with the ability to create new and or modify the existing ones. You can add your own photos for the background on the stages you create. As far as targets to choose from, currently it only has the classic IPSC targets, poppers and classic no shoots. I have inquired as to USPSA targets being added. Andrey did state that he wanted to start with IPSC and add the USPSA targets in the near future. I am in the process of putting together a few stages to post videos of. When I first got everything set up and started dry firing, an hour went by before I knew it.

Hi! I’ve owned a Match full size steel frame 45ACP for two years now. It’s been a great pistol but it took some work to get it there. The first issue I had was light strikes. I tried a variety of ammo but continued to have fail to fire issues. The problem turned out to be the firing pin and the auto safety built into the slide. The safety pin that contacts the body and blocks the firing pin had caused a metal fleck to be sheared off of the pin. Clearing this helped but after a few hundred more rounds the light strikes returned. The ultimate cure was the Henning firing pin. It’s longer, lighter and harder. I was not able to fit it and continue to use the auto slide safety so the stock safety pin, spring and firing pin creating the metal flecks were removed. I have not had a failure to fire since, so I feel very confident in the pistol now. The new Henning firing pin always slides free and easy when I test it with a punch. I also replaced the sear with a Henning sear which using a tip I found on the web was relatively easy. Cutting the shaft of a q-tip the same width as the sear to hold the spring while reinserting the sear was the key. I had to file the arm of the sear that intersects the safety lever to fit it properly. The trigger is crisp and the harder alloy should help keep that crispness longer. One issue I am still dealing with is sighting. I purchased a laser built into a 45ACP round. It projects a spot near were the bullet hits to the far right of the center straight line of the pistol frame. The pistol shoots far right. I clamped it and fired 27 rounds all to the right. I have had to adjust the rear sight all the way to the left to compensate. I can hit leaves floating in the stream 25 yards up and down from my position quickly turning from up to downstream so I feel confident in the pistol is acting as a natural extension of my arm. It hits what you point at. I would like the trajectory of the bullet to be parallel to the frame of the pistol. Would a barrel swap affect this? I have read that slight changes to the exit point at the muzzle and the rifling at that point can have a big impact on the direction the bullet leaves the barrel. Is there a guide to tweaking the barrel end/rifling to adjust the bullets trajectory as it leaves the barrel? With the rear sight adjusted to its extreme left the pistol is sighted but in darkness during quick fire I fall back to using the frame of the pistol to aim. I would like to have the trajectory parallel. There is also the aesthetics to consider. The rear sight looks pretty stupid cranked all the way to the left. I have purchased 7, 10 round magazines. None of them hold ten rounds. After breaking in they still will not fit 10 rounds. If you try the gun will jam as the 10th round is too tight in the magazine. I cut one coil from the magazine spring and shaved the base plate with the Dremel to achieve 10 rounds. The other issue is with laser/light options attached under the frame. All that I have purchased have failed by 50 rounds due to the shock of firing. The accessory rail pealed right through the plastic on one of the cheaper ones. Please recommend a red laser and a red laser/light combo you know will endure the shock of this pistol. Green lasers are ok for daylight but give away your position at night. Thanks! ~Kevin.

I see a lot of posts about steel targets and I know I've searched a lot of them myself today. I just thought I would share some of my expierence because I am currently working on making some targets of my own. Note: I don't know cad, and I'm just a guy who likes to do things for myself when possible. I am working with some CAD stuff that I drew today. Was waiting on a company to do them but they didn't have the time. I have zero experience with auto cad but it's raining and I like to try new things. Downloaded a trial and went to work. I bought two sheets of 3/8" AR500 steel (4'x8') and needed to cut out some targets. The company I'm doing it through uses a laser machine. They do some other work for me and said if I did the drawings they'd cut it for me. Anyway, I made a silhouette with a t-box and 6" bull that I'm going to cut out. I figure that I can probably put orange painted steel behind the holes make a good (and Cool) shot indicator. Then I did some different size poppers (then realized someone had posted some here and abandoned mine haha). A few different small size gongs and a 24" gong to finish it off. Thinking of trying my hand at some suited cutouts (heart, spade, diamond, club) and then calling it good. Anyway, does anyone have suggestions on some different targets to make? I'm happy to answer whatever questions you might have if I know the answer! ha. First post on here so let me know if I'm messing something up. Thanks!

Have you guys tried to use the SIRT training pistol with any of the laser-activated targets, like the Laserlyte targets? If so, do they work well together? Thanks!
