Description

Rob Pincus shares how to use the Laserlyte 380-P Training Laser to safely practice presentation of a subcompact defensive pistol from deep concealment. Learning to present a small pistol from a pocket holster or belly band can be dangerous if done with poor controls with a live firearm. Learning how to safely and smoothly present your firearm while it is dry is usually a better idea. The best way to conduct this training is with a laser device so that you can hold yourself accountable to a proper presentation that integrates with an efficient and accurate first shot.

    These cost 80% of what my pistol cost. Otherwise, a great way to pracice with the ammo shortage going on now. Sold out on their site.

Here comes another important tip from the Personal Defense Network. All right, a lot of you know that I'm a big fan of the training products that you can get from laser light. Laser light makes a vast array of training products. And one of the newest ones is their insertable cartridge lasers, which is specifically designed for training. They've just come out with one for the 380, of course 380 is incredibly popular for a subcompact, very slim gun just like this LCP something like a Caltech. This particular round is designed to go fully into the chamber. That's why you don't see anything at all, except inside the chamber and there's a little rubber pad at the back of laser training cartridge, that's actually going to receive the impact and the vibration from the gun being fired. When that happens, you're gonna see your red laser show up. So in a training environment, not like this one when you're not out at the range, but when you're actually inside of your safe area, your home, your dry fire area. Now I can practice from something like a pocket holster, deploying this gun in a very safe way and still get my training. And that's really gonna be the primary reason for using this laser trainer. As everybody knows, I'm a big fan of live fire training. I think you have to get the live fire training, you have to get the recoil, you have to actually experience your ability to put the bullets where the bullets need to go. But, if you carry a subcompact gun, chances are you're also using some kind of deep concealment, like a pocket holster, like a belly band, maybe an ankle holster, maybe some kind of off body carry inside of a pack or pouch that you carry around with you. And those types of carry can be the hardest to train. First and foremost, some training environments don't let you train from a pocket holster. Some classes won't even let you train from a pocket holster or the belly band or from any holster at all. So while you can get your shooting practice live fire, you can't always get your deployment practice live fire. So deployment practice, in this case, with the subcompact 380 LCP, facilitated by the laser light 380 training cartridge. Simulate my response, get down into my pocket with some movement, come in, touch press, and I get my red dot. When I see the red dot, I know that my presentation was exactly where I needed to be, of course, I can simulate. Whenever I get into my brain that I had a click, I wanna make sure my magazine is seated, rack the slide that resets the gun. Now I'm gonna go back into my pocket holster, set it off again, and again, I'll do another run this time. Again, because I'm doing single shots and I know I'm not gonna have recoil and I'm not gonna have to manage that volume of fire, I'm going to the head instead of to the body. Let's take a look. And again, get that little tap in there, get that reset, ready to go. Let's say that I was gonna go from a belly band inside the waistband again. This is something that if you're new to the belly band doing this live fire might even be a little bit dangerous with these smaller guns way down below the waistline deep inside the waistband, this is gonna be someplace that it's great to train with dry or even better with a laser before you actually get to the live fire execution. So you can see the 380 laser training cartridge is another thing that you can use inside of your training to make your training more efficient, and in this case even safer when it comes to the subcompact guns. Take a look at all the laser training cartridges for any caliber that you own. It can really enhance your ability, your training outside of the live fire environment that's still valuable.
