Reviews & Ratings for LaserLyte Universal Laser Trainer Pistol — 13 reviews — Page 1

I recently took a private lesson with a well-known local firearms instructor, and he recommended this gadget as a way to practice at home. As a sort-of novice shooter, this laser device is very helpful for developing intuition about sight pictures. It also is useful for diagnosing grip issues. I set up a target or two in the bedroom and practice a couple of times a week; The laser fits both my 38 special snubbie and my 9mm 1911. The trainer pistol isn't cheap, but neither is 38 special. I think in a few weeks this device will pay for itself.

From reading the other comments, I was worried the laser would activate when the hammer was being pulled back on a trigger squeeze. This is not the case when using a Ruger SP 101.

The laser only lights up on hammer drop as it should. I remove batteries after every session. Ensure you place the laser (roughly) level in the barrel or you will have to adjust the point of impact each time.

Product is made in Taiwan

Kathy and I use these to train for Cowboy action Shooting. We use these with the sound targets on both Rifles and Pistols. They are a great way to practice at home. By plenty of spare batteries.

I purchased this for a .38 Special revolver, 3 inch barrel to increase my proficiency between visits to the range (assuming I can find ammo!).
It was easy to adjust the plastic width end to slide in and out of the barrel without slippage.
The enclosed allen head wrench allows for adjustments to where the laser will shine.
It is a very tiny nut to turn so do not force the turning.
This works as expected and I have no major issues.
It is easy to forget to shut the unit off after use and within one week, my batteries died.
Two sets of batteries are included so I was able to use it but now, I cycle through off then on and off again to verify its status.
My only issue is when the hammer is drawing back, the mechanical sound will cause the laser light to project on my target.
This allows me to see where I'm aiming at and allow correction before completing the trigger pull for the hammer to drop.
Unfortunately, in real life, without the LaserLyte Universal Laser Trainer, I need that first aiming to count so I do not want to depend on this "preview shot".

Laser did not work. I contacted LaserLyte and provided all the information on the product/wrapping, etc. They acknowledged receipt of Email
and wanted a whole list of unavailable information. I told them "If you need this much information for $20.00, You need the $20.00 more than I do and you can keep it". I will be very careful about ordering from you in the future.

I generally dry weapon practice 15 min. at a time. In IWI Masada device did not fire about 40% of time. Likely quiet triger. Made sure device was off after each practice. Finally went to removing batteries after each session. Fifteen bucks in batteries last less than two hours.

I just got this and I installed it on my model S&W 686-6 6" barrel .357 revolver. I loaded the eight chambers with used shell casings and tighten adapter so that it fits snugly. This thing worked like a charm. I shot in double action at a 13 feet away bulls eye. I didn't even need to adjust wind-age nor elevation. I had original used a single laser bullet and had to continually reset the barrel to fire the same cartridge again and again, with this contraption, I just squeeze the trigger one right after the other. It's great practice tool. I highly recommend it.

This LaserLyte Premium Pistol Laser Trainer is fantastic. Cannot neat it for training purposes. My officers don't have to use live rounds so expense is reduced tremendously. Works just like it was advertised so I am happy happy happy.

I received the product and found it easy to set up. The two sets of batteries are a nice touch. I have practiced with it a few times with a target set up in my basement at 10 & 25 feet. It has helped me find one of my aim problems and has improved a slight flinch issue.

Overall, it's not a bad item. It functions well in a Beretta 92fs and the laser gets activated with every drop of the hammer. This makes sense, since it's an all-metal gun and the hammer is fairly loud when it drops. I have not tried it in polymer, striker-fired pistols.

There was a problem initially where the two Allen screws did not effect the alignment of the laser, so I had to carefully wiggle the tip of the Allen wrench inside the opening where the light comes out of to loosen up the stuck fixture. Now they seem to work, but overall I would have expected a better quality build for the price.

Nevertheless, given that it can be used for many pistols in different calibers, it's a good thing to have for dry-firing practice and probably cheaper in the long-run than .22lr conversion kits, which makes it a justifiable purchase.
