NEXT LEVEL TRAINING - SIRT TRAINING PISTOL W/ RED SHOT LASER

It's a great little tool for honing the basic skillet.

I ordered the SIRT 110 from Brownells. Feels enough like a Glock 17 to be acceptable. You can swap mags it comes with one mag. Others are about $25 each and mags are weighted about the weight of a standard loaded G17 mag. I heard it will accept factory Glock mags but they can be tight. The trigger is adjustable and you can also zero the laser. I shoot carry optic in USPSA so I mounted an old Burris FastFire 3 and it is zerod to the laser and both are working fine. I am using this with the red laser (not IR adapter) with smokeless range 2.0 software- the pistol is good in this application. This is an effective tool to work on sight picture & trigger control. It is good to work on with movement as well. For the price point, its a really good solution as a training aid.

Ready to go right out of the box. Reasonable price for a Glock simulator with a reset trigger. Videos that come with it are VERY useful in teaching grip, trigger control and stance. Will use them in my classes.Works great with the OCAT System laser simulator target system. My only gripe is the weight is much less than a regular Glock. The weighted magazine is right on, but the slide area could use more weight.

I am a firearm instructor and own 6 SIRT pistols. I have owned 4 of these SIRT's for 11 years, and 2 for just over a year. One is a Pro model, and the other 5 are Performer models. Approximately 500 students per year use these pistols. After about 8 years some of the triggers lost their "break". You can mush the trigger to the rear with no wall or reset. The front sights have a tendency to fall out. I contacted NLT and they sent me a RMA to send in for warranty but I use these pistols multiple times per week for training so simply can't send them back (unless NLT sends me loaners or send me the parts so I can do the repairs myself). As an instructor these SIRT's are invaluable! I don't have enough characters to explain all the uses. As a shooter, I can say without a doubt that my own dry fire with these tools has significantly improved my shooting ability. If I can make one suggestion it would be to improve the front sight reliability and to put some kind of dot on the front sight. Black on Black sights are dumb.

I bought a SIRT Performer about two years ago in preparation for the next season of matches. When I first got it, I measured the trigger pull at about 7 pounds, which I left alone thinking it would be like strength training. The triggers are adjustable. I'm now noticing that the trigger no longer has much of a "break" to it. It's more like 3/8" inches of mushy travel. If I pull very slowly, I can feel a little bit of a hitch in it. It's hard for me to measure the pull weight, because it's hard to know where to stop pulling, but I think it's a little under four and a half pounds. It is still somewhat useful for target transitions, but it is a disappointment that the trigger has let go. Not entirely related, but I bought a bunch of extra SIRT magazines. Glock magazines fit too snugly to drop free from the SIRT pistol. I bought 5 from Next Level Training, and 2 would not catch properly in the SIRT pistol, and another would come out with a moderate shake without touching the magazine catch. They can be fixed with a bit of epoxy and a file, but I don't think I should have to tune a magazine with no moving parts to get them to work properly. The magazines are about the same price as quality aftermarket Glock magazines, but only if you buy 3 at a time, single magazines are about the same price as Glock magazines for a plastic shell with steel weights. It's also a bit disappointing that the slide stop and slide do not move at all, which limits realistic reloading and malfunction clearance training.
