Great Gets Better
I have a legacy Mantis X system that I have used for years and have let others use to practice/develop their skills. When the new X10 came out, I decided to sell my legacy unit to a friend and upgrade to the latest.
The smaller, lighter X10 unit does everything the legacy unit does and more. The additional feedback for things like draw analysis is really helpful when working on the draw stroke with newer shooters as well as keeps me accountable that i am not slipping back into bad habits.
While i liked the cross bar screw on the legacy unit, the spring loaded tab hasn't been an issue and i do appreciate the ability to install or remove the device without needing tools. This is especially nice since now I move the Mantis between my full size guns and smaller setups like the G43X (using the mag rail adapter) or onto my rifle.
While you don't need this to dry fire, it definitely gives you a ton of useful feedback and more importantly makes dry fire interesting so that you are more likely to continue to put in the time. Whether you are competing against yourself for the patches or against friends in your group, it keeps you engaged and motivated.
The X10 is a great foundational tool that you can scale up your dry fire program. Pairing this with the Blackbeard system for rifles or a dryfiremag for pistols allows you to focus on the fundamentals and not need to be constantly manually resetting the action. Add in the Laser Academy and you have a complete dry fire regimen from th...

Not worth the money
It does have some merit but not worth the cost plus if you buy from anyone but them directly the 45 day money back guarantee is void also there customer service is terrible I wish I avoided the purchase but stuck with it now if you’re an instructor I can see it being worth it but other than that cos...

Best device I’ve ever use to train for trigger control
This is by far the best device I’ve ever used to train for overall trigger control and gun movement during the firing process. I use it both during dry fire practice to check technique prior to range sessions, as well as during live fire to check how dry fire practice translates to real world results at the range. I cannot speak to how well the rifle/shotgun barrel adapter works, nor how well it works with a bow as i have only used it on my HD Glock 19 but it’s sensitivity and feedback has given me feedback that even the best instructors would not have been able to humanly detect. After only one month of use it has already paid for itself in ammo and range fee savings. Since I have a light/laser attached to the rail on my G19, I utilized the provided adhesive picatinny rail to attach it to the bottom of my dryfire mag. I also purchased a separate mag baseplate with the built-in rail to use during live fire practice at the range. This also allows for holster draw practice with your current holster. Although some have commented that during live fire, you may have some additional movement of the device if your mag has a little play on it, I have not found that to be a problem. Some have suggested a bit of tape around the mag to take up any slack that might cause the mag to move/vibrate due to live fire recoil separate from the movement of the gun itself. In my case, I did not find too much of a variation between dry and live fire readings. The software comes with so many traini...

Priceless Investment!!
I’ve had it for a 2 weeks now. I use it everyday. With the cost of ammo it will pay for itself in a couple months.
I was doing a lot of dry fire before I had it but who’s to say I wasn’t practicing and developing bad habits. With the Mantis you find out in real time what you’re doing wrong or right and you’re able to correct it. I have taken a shooting class to learn grip and site alignment etc.
By having the Mantis it expands on the lesson I took. After using the Mantis at home for practice. I did use it at the range for live fire. My first couple mags I had the Mantis attached but not on. I wanted to see if it actually helps. I can tell you it did! My groups are much tighter with the occasional oops shot.
I bought the Mantis X so I have all the options pistol, shot gun and bow. Maybe I won’t use them but there isn’t much of a difference in price to have the other options. I’m using the Mantis X on an Sig P365xl and a Glock 17 Gen5.
