Frequently Asked Questions

Laser Strike is a dry-fire training system using patent-pending targets that let you practice your shooting skills safely at home with a laser cartridge or a SIRT pistol.

Nope! Laser Strike is completely app-free. Just set up the targets and start training — no phone, tablet, or software required.

You can use a laser cartridge that fits into your own firearm or a standalone SIRT training pistol. We currently offer laser cartridges in the following sizes: 9MM, .380, 45, 40, 38SPL, 357, 223, & 556. The system works with most visible red laser systems.

Absolutely. It's used by instructors, law enforcement, and armed professionals as a reliable dry-fire supplement to live-fire training.

The patent-pending targets are designed to reflect a laser hit clearly, giving instant visual feedback. There’s no wiring, screens, or electronic components needed.

No! Our targets are 100% battery-free, making them ultra-reliable and maintenance-free.

It takes just seconds! Snap them onto the included magnetic stands or mount them to a wall using the included hardware, and you’re ready to train.

Always point the gun in a safe direction and confirm it is unloaded before handling. To load, lock the slide open, drop the laser cartridge into the chamber from above, then release the slide per your firearm’s normal operation. To unload, lock the slide open, insert the supplied extraction tool into the front of the barrel (from the muzzle) and gently push the cartridge rearward out of the chamber. Finish by visually and physically checking the chamber and magazine well to confirm the firearm is clear. If your firearm’s manual gives different instructions, follow the manufacturer’s guidance.
