NRA Law Enforcement Aug 19, 2025

Show notes

In this week’s episode we talk with Darrel Schenk from the NRA LE division about their training program.

This episode is brought to you by LASR Classic trainer
I use the LASR Classic system in classroom because it allows me to teach first time gun owner proper site alignment and trigger control without stepping on the range. Saving me time and the student money by not firing rounds down range. When the student is ready, they know what to do because of the classroom training.

LASR classic is easy to setup and tear down because all you need is a laptop with a webcam to use it. That allows you to set it up anywhere you can take your laptop. The application also works with any laser device from laser catridge you put in your firearm to dedicated laser trainers.

LASR is veteran owned and operated.

Off Range Practicing with SIRT Aug 12, 2025

Show notes

In this week’s episode we talk with Mike Hughes from Next Level Training about Off Range Practicing with your SIRT

For listeners of this podcast I want to give you an advance heads up on a new product from MantisX called the Tor-X available the first week of August 2024.

The TOR-X is the sublime marriage of the military-grade Steiner laser and the power of the MantisX. The MantisX hardware is now integrated inside a Steiner laser. Pair it via Bluetooth to your smartphone or tablet, and you’re training package just got more complete. Combat-worthy lights and lasers, Mil-grade aluminum, built Steiner strong. Designed to expose, blind and target with maximum impact. Up to any challenge. Just like you.

The TOR-X features a Type III hard-anodized machined-aluminum housing and rail mount. It is dustproof, splash-proof to IP54 standards, and available with a green (520 nm) laser. The direct diode type laser operates in extreme cold weather. Other features include left and right fire buttons for ambidextrous use, constant power drive that ensures the laser output remains constant throughout the life of the battery, low battery indication, as well as windage and elevation bore sight adjustment screws.

The universal rail mount on the TOR-X will fit all pistols that have a Picatinny or Weaver style rail forward of the trigger guard. This design allows optimum positioning of the laser so that the fire buttons are easily accessible for a wide range of users.

I’ve been using the Tor-X for several weeks on my Glock17 and my Glock48 now and when paired with the MantisX app it’s taken my training to a new level.
