Within a week I already started seeing a huge difference. It is almost the same to using real ammunition. I highly recommend this product.

This system is just what I needed to train for shooting competition (USPSA and others). It allows for rapid fire training with multiple shots. I use it with the Mantis unit, which provides shot timing and various scenarios that would not be possible without the cycling of the pistol. I had a few technical questions that I emailed to the company and the response time was very quick.

Quick and excellent customer support. Product is as advertised. Satisfied customer. Will do business again!

Fast response and great communication! Thank you!

I've only put about 50 shots through the CoolFire Trainer. So everything said here may change. Though so far it lives up to the hype. Pros: + It replicates my Beretta 92FS's recoil fairly accurately. + I can use my own holster and the slide resets itself with every shot for about 15 shots before the CO2 runs out. + I can quick(ish) draw and do Mozambique Drills in my apartment shooting the included targets on my refrigerator (I can spell "Mozambique Drills" faster than I do them). + Although it cycles my pistol, it isn't very loud. It sounds like I'm using a large staple gun. I could probably cover the sound with some music or the TV. No complaints from the neighbors. Cons: - It's a little bit fiddly and somewhat intimidating to install the first time unless you have some mechanical proficiency. Zeroing the laser is weird at first. - Aggravating the above are a lack of centralized instructions. Some of it is in an online manual, some of it is marked on the box, some on the website, and some on YouTube. This is understandable because the systems are different for each pistol type and some instructions appear to have been made up after the fact. Still annoying though, as you may think you remember how to do something and have to spend time searching for it on all those sources to verify. - Heating the CO2 is awkward. They recommend some kind of heating plate. I heat water to 86˚ F and immerse the canister in it and let it cool to 84˚ F. I have to repeat the process between each 15 shots as the canister will cool. Apparently other people just leave them in the sun for a bit. - Refilling CO2 canisters is kinda hard in my area. Though for many that's not a problem. If you paintball or live near a paintball shop that's an easy fix.

The coolfire trainer is an excellent substitute for ammo and recoil.

Released before they said! Very smooth transaction. Only glitch is that when you add anything to the cart it doubles it Great communication when inquiring
