The part that lets you fire 10 rounds at a time thru a rifle is about 170, that seems kinda high. But I guess that would only take about 50 shots to make financial sense, right?

You're absolutely right!
Since the light mounts on the barrel, you can set the app to monitor the "figure 8" in real time.
I believe this visual aid helps establish the value in applying the fundamentals for a novice shooter, therefore decreasing the about of time and ammo (and money) at the range, when zeroing or just trying to get a tight grouping.

MSRP is $200. I would argue money and time would be better spent at the range. That is roughly 800 rounds of 9mm at the range. Now if you can use it with multiple people/friends/family members then it has some value potentially.

I just picked up 6 Omega Arms AR12's for me and my coworkers. They are around $450 MSRP. It cost each of us $191 and too cheap to miss out for a semi AR style shotgun.

But just like I recently did at my nephew's house, we could just go out in the backyard, set up, and fire to our heart's content. OK, we used his son's BB gun, but still.

Tomorrow, we could have a whole bunch of stuffed people just mosey out into the back yard and dry fire some rounds while waiting for the cornhole to be available, all the while erasing some of the fear/anxiety of guns when properly handled.

Time is money.

Being able to use Mantis or similar in your own house without having to travel to a range saves time.

The Mantis should last for many thousands of repetions, but that original 800 rounds will be long gone.

Dry-fire is a great way to practice. Every top notch competitive shooter uses a dry-fire routine.

Ammo is really expensive here and in short supply. I can't always get .38 or .357, I agree nothing beats the real deal but I have to wonder if these laser training aids are worth the money? The last time we went to the range we burned through $300 in ammo in about 2 hours.

Random question, so when you buy a random item from Amazon, it can likely be lost in the mail as they say. Has anyone ever heard of a gun being shipped to a gun shop for you to pick up being lost?

I have not, makes me wonder if they are tagged in a special if you lose this you lose your job category?

They cant exactly have lost shipment guns running around.

+1 for the MantisX. I have the first gen and I love it. Definitely helps you improve. It's nice being able to train at home without spending money at the range or burning through my ammo. Not saying you SHOULDN'T do live fire training, I still think it's a must but dry fire with the MantisX, for me anyways, has helped a lot.

Yes, I have. That happens often, except those guns are stolen not lost.

I think the common carriers, UPS, etc., require certain guns to be shipped overnight.

Just got my Omega last month - I really like it. I was shocked it really tightened up my already great shooting 300 HAM'R. Pleasant unanticipated side effect!

Congrats

Picked up this Springfield Hellion aka VHS-2 yesterday. Ordered a Eotech XPS2 and G45 magnifier, cant wait to shoot with it. Feels so nice to hold 😁

The top and bottom should be seperated and have different targets.

Came in today for a transfer. This thing is heavy.

I see a ton of mods for this beauty, a real nice and handy PDW.
For the very first one I would recommend a foldable buttstock

[chowser51]

He already has a folding “brace” for it. He installed it while I was doing his nics.

I was given this kit last week by a friend. I ordered a complete gen5 19 frame for it which came in today. So now I have another “19” in the stable.







So now still have a full size frame parts kit sitting around waiting to be built. Lol
