Grab your cup of Black Rifle Coffee, and let's get to it!

Is Laser Ammo a Good Brand?

Yes, Laser Ammo is a good brand for shooters to perform safe firearms training. They are the worldwide leader in laser-based firearms training products.

Laser Ammo Training Technologies has an extensive product line-up ranging from the simple Laser Ammo SureStrike Cartridge (laser cartridge) you drop in your gun to train at home to the LaserPET II Targets and Laser Ammo Smokeless Range shooting simulator.

Here's how their products work:

Your gun's firing pin strikes the laser cartridge, which initiates a red laser that hits or misses the reflective target. Depending on which simulator or cartridge you buy, you'll see a red dot quickly appear, disappear, and/or hear a beep where the bullet would have struck the electronic target.

A shot timer can also easily be set up with these simulators to increase the difficulty of the training. There are lots of fun drills that Laser Ammo allows you to do from the comfort of your home.

They also sell training pistols resembling Glocks and SIGs and a couple of training AR-15 rifles.

Their products are used by the military, law enforcement, and civilians to safely train for military and self-defense situations anywhere, anytime, using laser pistols and laser targets.

If you want to increase your range time without increasing the amount of money you spend on ammo; Laser Ammo is worth checking out.

Pros and Cons

Below you'll find the benefits and drawbacks of Laser ammo.

Pros

Use your gun for laser training
Safely train in your house
Reliable
Multiple calibers for rifles and handguns
Save money on ammo in the long run
Designed by former military members
Capable of basic and advanced training

Cons

It looks and feels kind of dated
Expensive
Depending on the product and your gun, you might have to rack the slide after every shot

As you can tell, using Laser Ammo training products has many benefits. There's a reason why Laser Ammo Training Technologies is the leader in laser training for law enforcement agencies, the military, and civilian shooters.

In my opinion, the main benefit of Laser Ammo is the ability to use your gun to train safely because they have multiple handgun and rifle calibers, but it doesn't stop there!

Even though Laser Ammo products are expensive, you'll quickly recoup that money because you won't be buying nearly as much training ammo.

However, I would like to see their products get a visual update since some of their electronic targets look like they're from the 90s.

Overall, I think Laser Ammo cartridges are worth picking up and training with to save money on ammo.
