Ambidextral Gunfighter Review of iTarget Pro

8:22Take your dry fire practice to a whole new level with the iTarget Pro laser cartridgeAvailable with a target and phone stand, but I find that a camera tripod works as well when using the smartphone scoring app. iTarget smartphone Scoring App is available on iOS and AndroidBase app includes the basic bullseye target and scoringOptional is the QuickDraw app that features a shoot timer and silhoutte target for $5No recoil so like a dummy round drill to eliminate flinch380, 9mm, 40, 45 and 5.56 are offered. No 7.62...yet. Safety and paranoiaSo much fun that you will likely find your weapon “out of service” with the laser cartridge left in place. One bad habit...manually racking slide after each shotReset DrillEach cartridge has centering o-rings that help hold the cartridge in place. The case is rimless so that it will not eject when cocking the weapon. To remove the cartridge will require a cleaning rod.This is an amazing tool for practicing your draw from holster,  ambidextrous manipulation and point shooting.. Highly highly recommended.
