 I can tell when I'm off target hey there friends thanks for checking in today we're looking at the strike man laser system I've been using this a lot lately primarily due to the ammo shortage and for that reason laser systems and handguns have become very popular and I wanted to come back and talk about it because I did take it outdoors I recorded it and I had a good time with it now I've been using a lot lately primarily for sighting in red dots I like that because once this is seated in the chamber it's pretty true and I've saved a lot of time and money by doing this prior to hitting the range you may fine-tune it at the range this will not replace live firing not even close but it will give you an impact as to where you are hitting and if you have multiple handguns that do impact differently this will give you an idea prior to going so that you know you'll be on target hopefully when you get to the range this has a rubber piece here and a rubber piece here it sits in nice and flush won't damage the firearm at all and when the striker or the hammer hits right that piece right there it will it'll set it off and tell you where you're hitting I also like it to practice drawn shoot as well as off-hand shooting and one-handed shooting and a whole bunch of applications that I find this pretty important and as far as my trigger time goes so we're not getting the trigger time that we used to get but we can do the best we can given the situation with a laser sight and that's why I'm coming around and making this video I showed this before and I was in my living room and I did okay with it I wasn't too far back but this time I'm in my backyard backing up a little bit and seeing how well I do and I also like it I already mentioned for red dots but I cannot explain how much that helps fine-tuning well not fine-tuning but helping with the sighting in process that'll save you a lot of time and money so let's go ahead and check out some of that shooting and we'll talk more about it I'm gonna take a quick 10 shots with the Taurus G3 Toro the Toro model is optic ready I've got a vortex viper on here probably nine yards back let's see how I do okay all those were in double action I could have racked the slide back each time with a shorter and lighter trigger pull but I went with that double action so I could do it one after another let's see what the camera picked up all right so this is where the majority of the shots hit I'm okay with that and my average rating was 8 if you look at the target itself 8 is that circle right there probably two inches so I'm okay with that I'm happy and now I know that the optic is sighted in properly strike man includes this base that will hold the phone that is to be placed two feet away from your target that they also include but they upgraded the app so here you'll hit start agree to the terms and you'll first choose the distance you're going to be shooting from I chose 0 to 20 yards you apply that indoors or outdoors I went outdoors you can go the number of shots or time I went number of shots kept it at 10 you can do multiple sessions you can enable that with this area or disable that and that's what I did at this point you will move the target or I'm sorry you will calibrate it so that it will center in on the target so it knows what it's hitting and when and then you press start it does give you audio feedback as to where on the target you hit no even give you a little gunshot noise once it senses that a shot has been fired here we have the bread a 92x performance model I'm going to continue shooting in double action this time I'm going to extend my arms each time making it a little bit more challenging for me it's getting pretty dark out here so let's see how I do I can tell when I'm off target that one was outside the gray so was that I think that's 10 all right so there's no question that that was more challenging of course it should be you know when you go to an indoor range most people stand there like this and just fire one after another of course are dealing with recoil but extending your arms each time creates a little bit more challenging shooting stage and that's good that's what you want especially because you're not burning up ammo let's go take a look and see how I did there's where my shots landed mostly in the gray circle some outside of the great three three misses outside the gray circle but my average score was six so that circles probably six inches wide so I'm okay with that too you know each of those shots would be combat effective all things considered here is the target on the stand I want to give you an idea of what the gray dimensions are when I was out there I said that the gray was about six inches it's actually four and a half inches around and then the number eight is two and a half inches so it is a fairly small target so anywhere in that gray area I think is a good shot definitely combat effective you know even even from close up you hit right in this little bit of an area you're doing okay and so with practice you could do that I've been practicing with this but even backing up a little bit which is what I did next it was getting dark and when it was getting dark the camera wasn't picking up the laser as well as it should have right it was just blotching it on camera a little disappointed in that but knowing that it gives you an idea of where I was hitting plus I was getting the audio feedback that you can kind of hear in the video so let's go ahead and check that out here we are closer to 20 yards away maybe just a little shy back with the Taurus G3 Toro with the Vortex Viper let's see how I do from this range all double action all right that felt good but I'm not sure I'm hoping all those hit in the gray it certainly felt that way and that double action pull see the if they'll show up there you can see that let's go take a look there's where my shots hit a little bit to the left one outside of the circle that I could see yeah just one and my average score was six but that that's not too bad considering the circles rather small I had the light style down a bit just to give you an idea of what you're looking at it's it's pretty consistent now this is not a substitute whoa that kind of mess with the camera a little bit this is not a substitute to live firing I cannot emphasize that enough but given that there is a shortage in ammo and even when there's not sighting in getting prepared prior to going to the range is a good idea I've definitely been doing it and this will help get you there it will get you some trigger time without the recoil and everything else but it will tell you where your shots are impacting and that is the main reason why I like this system in particular it fits really nice and it seems to be very true to the actual impact of the shots and that's really what I enjoy if you like videos like this please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up
