Hey, it's Christmas. My rich kids would buy it, maybe.

Yes I have one.
I'm very disappointed with the quality of the cartridge. The switch is
not consistent. I sent my first one back , the second one is no better.
A year or year and a half ago, I searched for others with my
complaint, I didn't find much negative. I have a .380acp, maybe
different sizes work better?
I'd buy the cheapest target I could find and then buy the cartridge
from someone local, so you can return it for a working unit if needed.
In my experience, you will need to return it for a working unit.

I've never used one but I can see a lot of advantages, cost not
withstanding, and assuming it's reliable.

1. You save the cost of ammunition.

2. You can practice in your home or backyard.

3. No need to clean the gun.

4. No need to wear ear protection.

5. Minimal wear and tear on the gun.

6. No safety issues if drawing from a holster.

The side of the cartridge barrel looks like it has some adjustment
screws or something in it. Are those for aligning the laser beam?
If so, it seems like it might be difficult to determine what is off ...
the sights of the gun or the alignment of the laser.

Thanks for the tip. It's a shame LLBean doesn't sell it. Maybe Dicks
carries it. I'll check.

I just read about a hundred reviews. Too many bad ones. It's coming
off the list. Will try something else.

It looks like it would be a super idea, but too many reviews say it's
crap. My big interest would be to improve steadiness while shooting.
Seems like the laser light might be a good route.

The first thing to understand about steadiness is that no one else is
steady either. You have to work around it and try for brief moments
when you can squeeze off the round.
