CoolFire Trainer is the innovative world leader that provides a realistic, safe, and cost-effective way to dry fire using your own handgun anytime, anywhere. To this day, we are still the only innovators that provide this technology. Our drop-in recoiling Barrels fit right in your handgun, allowing you to control the recoil of each shot and train with a level of realism that airsoft, pellet, and non-guns simply cannot compete with. Your live barrel is removed from the firearm, so there is no chamber and, therefore, no way to introduce live ammunition. Your investment pays for itself by the time you finish the first CO2 tank, yet it gives years of use. Visit our website to learn more!

I was waiting for the ar sidekick to come out for quite a while and when it did I was on it and ordered one. It's pretty fun being able to shoot it and practice dry fire with a little bit of recoil. It's good to be able to practice follow up shots I'm really enjoying it, if you have the money don't wait.

Thank you for the 5-star review, Brett!
I have had kits for my pistols for several years and found them to be an outstanding training tool. When I saw that you had developed an AR "sidekick" training system, I had to have it. I was not dissapointed. I can now practice transitions from pistol to AR and back. The quality of the build is outstanding and expect many years of use.

Thank you for the 5-star review, Jason!
In less than 100 shots, a leak developed from, first the soda maker bottle and then the cool fire barrel. I am currently researching the solutions to those problems but for the price point, I am definitely disappointed in how fast it required maintenance. I will discourage others from purchasing this product

I love the CoolFire Trainer! I bought it for my handgun and loved it so much that I bought the one for my AR-15. Customer support was responsive and knowledgeable, solving my issue quickly. When I needed a spare part, it was sent quickly.

Thank you for the 5-star review, David!
Great addition, really is nice to be able to shoot at home with Recoil. Not perfect because of some poor engineering, but overall worth-it.

Thank you for your review, Bill!
Be ready to do a lot of searching to get necessary details about installation and adjustments online—not from any useful “user instruction manual.”

I got this cool fire trainer seven months ago. My trainer has already been sent off to warranty repair once, when I got it back from warranty repair I fired two shots now it needs to go back to be repaired again. I told my buddy I shoot with all the time about the new trainer I got. 7 months later he hasn’t been able to shoot it because it is broke again. I contacted cool fire about getting a repair. I am still waiting for a response.
