LaserLyte introduced a new training laser: the LaserLyte Laser Trainer Pro. In a nutshell, this device adjusts to fit the barrels of most handguns. Once inserted into the barrel, the device will flash a laser each time it “hears” the hammer fall.
The idea is you would use this device while dry firing to make sure that you are properly exercising the fundamentals of accurate shooting (especially trigger control) and the bullets would have gone where you thought they would have. If the laser shines someplace different than where you were aiming, then you know something is off, and you can set about correcting your shooting.
In a time when ammo is both scarce and expensive, this little device could be valuable for anyone who practices with dry firing. See the video below for a demonstration of how the Laser Trainer Pro works.
In standard pressure, you can get a 200 gr JHP at a little over 1000 fps (444+ ft-lb) out of a 4″ S&W revolver. The 255 gr hard cast FP is clocking almost 870 fps (410+ ft-lb) out of the same 4″ Smith.

Remington Arms Co. has announced a major rifle recall, and a serious warning on .17 HMR ammunition. Remington is immediately recalling all of the Model 597 rifles chambered for the .17 HMR. Remington is not offering any repairs, rather they are issuing coupons of $200-250 for a replacement Remington rifle and refunding the shipping costs of sending the rifle back.
