MantisX Training System

[Doheny]

Does anyone have any experience with the MantisX? I was at GunSite this weekend and one of the instructors showed it to us. He swore by it and gave us a demo. Seems pretty interesting.

It is good to go. It will help you get smooth and fast. Sacrificed a magazine by putting the unit on the mag so I can draw from the holster. Money well spent.

On the mag rather than the rail? it still registers there? Interesting, thanks.

my friend who has been shooting for about a year swears by it. I shoot with him quite often and you know what? he still sucks.

I know it sounds mean but nothing, no gimmick device can help you with your reaction to an explosion going off in your hand.

dummy rounds are inexpensive. trigger time is the cure and as well as immediate remediation when you drop a shot meaning 10 dry fires then back to shooting.

I love mine, corrected many of my issues very quickly. It allows you to see what you are doing wrong and make spot corrections and to me seems very accurate.

If anything, it motivates you to dry fire, which is good.

It has made me a better shooter for sure. I lent it to my buddy and it helped him pass qualifying for police academy.

I was an early adopter of the MantisX when I started with firearms (mid-2016). It allowed me to work on my fundamentals the beginning months.

However, it came to the point that old school dry practice became more "useful" that it got relegated to one of my drawers. It just didn't have much functionality then...


Then when a "Trade Up" promotion for the latest model came, being an early adopter I was able to upgrade to the X10 Elite for literally free. It gave another flavor to training that I started using it again (and also help teach me 12-yr old).

Some of the few

1. Compressed Surprised Break - Aim in at a target (in my case, 2-inches at 7-yards). At the beep, fire a shot as fast as possible. Right now, I can manage a shot within 2-inches at a par of 0.30-sec.
2. Holster Draw Analysis - Using the accelerometer, it charts my draw stroke in several stages (grip, pull, horizontal, target, shot). This allows me to find out where the inefficiencies are and make improvements.
3. I also use the Holster Draw Analysis for long-range precision shots (since we all have a slight tendency to slow down our draws for more difficult targets).
4. Recoil Meter - Allows me to diagnose the difference in grip/pressure between my left and right hands.
5. Open Training - I use this to diagnose long-range shots as this charts minute movements before, during the break and after the break. (Disclaimer: I do NOT agree with MantisX's diagnostics chart, however)

Could one get better with MantisX? Absolutely! But as they say - variety is good for training. I find that in the MantisX.

I've had many opportunities to use the MantisX at trade shows the past few years, but never bought one or offered them for sale in my store; too niche. A few minutes with one will change your dryfire, I always wondered what hours every month would do.

This year, at the end of SHOT (and I mean, after close) I found this guy:

I immediately said, "very cool, you need to find this guy":

and then he pulled out the documentation on this:

I hadn't heard about the dry fire mag I am ordering one!!

[KevinA.]

Had the original MantisX and upgraded to the X10 when it became available. I find it very versatile and useful. You can use it for rifles and pistols, both dry and live fire. They even work with co2 guns and have an archery section. The X10 really sets the bar with holster draw and recoil analysis. The feedback isn’t always accurate but it does provide useful info that has improved my shooting for sure.

My DryFireMag in 10mm showed up today!!! I've only pulled the trigger several hundred times so I won't do any kind of product review but out of the box, how cool is this! The trigger feel is great!! The trigger break is just like normal or dang close.......I tried the blindfold test several times and doubt I could pass it with better than a 50% correct.

Going to order the 9mm next week.

And yesterday my sweet Cold Steel training knife showed up kid in a candy store life.

My second DryFireMag after the first broke (this time it has adjustable spring tensions and 10% discount) and my X10 Elite (practically a FREE trade-in with the 1st gen).

Absolutely happy with them!

An old thread. But would it not be possible to attach the MantisX device directly to the flat bottom (orange colored) of the Dry Fire slide? And then you have the MantisX 10 and DryFire combination?

MantisX universal adaptor mount says it will fit onto any magazine with a flat bottom surface.

MantisX mount fits the floorplate using VHB high strength adhesive tape.
Ammo is expensive right now, need to keep my hoard from depleting so fast as it is doing

Or this one for Glock using a screw
