Frequently Asked Questions

How does the iTarget Pro laser training system work?

The iTarget Pro system uses a laser training cartridge that fits into your firearm's chamber. When you dry fire, it emits a laser pulse. An app on your smartphone, using your camera, tracks these laser pulses on a target, providing feedback on shot placement and accuracy.

What are the benefits of using the iTarget Pro for training?

The iTarget Pro allows for safe and convenient dry fire practice at home, which is especially useful when live ammunition is scarce or range access is limited. It helps improve trigger control, accuracy, and allows for practicing specific scenarios like home defense.

Is the iTarget Pro laser cartridge difficult to remove?

The iTarget laser training cartridge features an O-ring seal to stay securely in the chamber during dry fire. This means it typically requires a cleaning rod to be pushed out, rather than being ejected like a live round.

What firearms are compatible with the iTarget Pro system?

The iTarget Pro system offers laser cartridges in various calibers, including 9mm, which are compatible with a wide range of firearms such as AR9s, AK9s, Glocks, CZs, and other handguns. The system's effectiveness is generally good within 10 yards.
