pnmd Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) I just got the Coolfire Laser Trainer for my SVI Infinity .40 pistol. It's the best dryfire device I've used. I have $1000 worth of Tokyo Marui airsofts (Infinity and Glock handguns.) The Coolfire is so much better because you're using your own gun. The felt recoil is much better than my airsoft handguns. Here's their website: http://coolfiretrainer.com/ It's $399 for the Coolfire setup. I got their 1911 kit for my Infinity: http://coolfiretrainer.com/asccustompages/products.asp?fav=0&fpage=1&page=1&categoryID=9&productID=10&pStart=0&recNum=2 Here's the most informative video about the Coolfire... http://www.carbontv.com/videos/14eGtyczrjD1383fVU2h6BcegaR4rntA I made a quick video with my iphone. Not the best video but you get the idea Edited June 10, 2015 by pnmd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmnielsen Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 It's a neat setup, but the laser moves so much it sucks. Having the recoil is very nice and if you don't need the laser then I say it's worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the recoil is very nice and if you don't need the laser then I say it's worthwhile. Seeing the laser move with recoil is a good thing. Forces me to hold the gun tightly and control the recoil like using a real handgun. You want to minimize laser movement and recoil to improve your shot to shot times just like with real pistol With my airsoft there's little recoil so I can be relaxed with my grip which is not realistic shooting.

jmnielsen Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Yes. However it moves so much it is unusable with my LASR training software. Even with the software analyzing 30 FPS. To me the point of the laser would be to accurately indicate the shot impact, which it does not do. It is a very cool concept, I just feel it needs more work.

billdozer Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 You don't need the laser. It threads on and off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I definitely agree that you can find yourself throwing a lot of money into airsoft training equipment, but this does seem like a much better alternative. You even get to practice with you own mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmnielsen Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Saw this on FB the other day https://www.facebook.com/LASRApp/videos/911486198906729/ Looks like the guys at LASR have found a way to make everything jive with their software and their webcam, so I guess this cool fire may be useful to me. FYI the info I got was from the end of the video, last minute or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincerama Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Well, one benefit is that it resets your trigger for you! So it seems worth it for dryfire even without the laser! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyK Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 This is interesting to me. Anybody else have some experience with Coolfire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quaker Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 This is interesting because you can use your own gun/trigger pull and reset .... Is it too loud to be heard in another room? How many round after you refill the cartridge and how many shots before the CO2 cartridge cools down and slide cycle/recoil becomes soft? Thanks!

BeerBaron Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 You only get about 15 good shots apparently. It'll go 20 or so before refills but apparently after 15 it slows appreciably. I really like the idea of dry fire with regular trigger press and some recoil from the slide cycling but $400 is a lot of dough. To me it's a good idea but not quite perfected. You have to take the laser off to recharge and recharging every 15 shots is a bit of a hassle. Still it's a great idea. If it was $200 I'd have one for sure.

3gunDQ Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 @$200 I'd buy two... @$400 I'm on the fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumbles Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 How does the 1911 kit work with sti/svi 40 S&W barrels? Did it have to be altered? Is there barrel clearance? Did you use coolfire's spring and guide rod in your gun? Would it be difficult to extend the co2 canister for a larger reservoir? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6Liter240Z Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Yeah, the system says it doesn't work with bull barrels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
