Cartridge Q&A
Yes! Use the same caliber cartridge that matches the gun you want to train with.
No. A built in snap cap will protect the gun from causing any damage, if used properly.
If you are using a single action pistol, you will need to do it. (Glock, XD, 1911) You will not need to do it if you are using a double action. (Beretta 92, P226)
No. These cartridges do not have rims, so the extractor will not pull them out. You can press them out with the eraser side of a pencil when you are done training.
Due to the design and tolerance differences in the firearms, the nominal cartridge length may be slightly too short for your firearm to activate the laser reliably. First check if that is the case by pressing down the Back Cap using your finger tip to verify the working condition of the cartridge. Then slowly rotate the Back Cap by 1/4 rotation to see if that improves the activation mechanism without damaging your firearm. You may repeat the 1/4 rotation for up to 6 times (for a total of 1 1/2 rotations,) provided that it causes no damages to your firearm or the cartridge.
Furthermore, remove the back cap and check that the retaining ring that holds the circuit board is tight.
As far as the laser will go, which will depend on conditions. 20 - 25 yards should be no issue under most conditions. Longer ranges are not recommended unless you are using them in a dark lighting condition.
The Gen 2 9mm cartridge uses the 1.5 V AG4 (also known as LR626) Alkaline Cell battery. The same battery is used in the other cartridges listed above.
If you have a meter, a good battery should read at least 1.49V. If you don't, watch the laser brightness at a distance 25 - 30 ft away on a white surface and it should be standing out clearly.
They use the AG3 (also known as LR41) Alkaline Cell battery.
It may be easier if you stack up the batteries on a table (with the Marked Side up) and then put the cartridge over them to complete the insertion.
All our products carry a standard 1-year manufacturer warranty, if not specified otherwise.
Make sure that your batteries are installed in the right direction and then simply press down the strike pad of the cartridge using your finger or a pen and the Laser should be activated. If not, either the battery or the cartridge may be bad.
