Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Mantis X system?

The Mantis X is a data-driven dry-fire system that uses an app and hardware attached to your firearm to provide feedback on your shooting performance, helping to improve trigger control and weapon manipulation skills for better accuracy.

Is Ammo Squared a good option for buying ammunition?

Ammo Squared offers a subscription service for ammunition, allowing users to budget, store credits, and trade them. While convenient for some, prices are typically 10-15% higher than direct purchase, and it may not appeal to those who prefer to buy specific brands in bulk.

What are the main criticisms of Sonoran Desert Institute (SDI)?

SDI is criticized for allegedly being a scam that exploits GI Bill benefits without providing substantial gunsmithing education, with students spending $10,000-$20,000. Investigations are underway with input from former faculty and students.

Are Olight tactical flashlights reliable?

Based on user reports and the video's assessment, Olight gun lights have a poor reputation for reliability, with frequent issues like broken mounts and lights arriving defective. Streamlight is suggested as a more dependable alternative.
