Have used the Pink Rhino Laser training cartridge from Mantis without any accompanying system. I did improve my point of aim and trigger control with just that item on paper targets, and later took the skills to the range for live fire.
Was going to step up to the Mantis X2 dry fire only system, but have backed off purchasing it because I had to replace the training cartridge (while still under warranty at no charge) while it was still less than a year old. Mantis customer service was good, so no complaints there.
Now my research has uncovered the Mantis X3 system which doesn't use a laser cartridge and can be used with both dry fire and live fire-definitely got my interest.
Are any of you guys currently training with this system? How has it performed, and have you improved by using it in both dry and live fire modes?
I realize that ammo is expensive today, and the dry fire laser cartridge mode is economical for guys who don't reload. I do reload, so live fire practice with a training system appeals to me because my ammo cost is manageable.
Appreciate the feedback from guys currently using this system before I make a purchase decision.
