Lets see how well the dry-fire training system works.
On average, I can get out to the live-fire range at least a few times a month.
[Not familiar with dry fire practice?
The CoolFire Trainer offers you the ability to engage in realistic dry-fire training with a recoil impulse.

Interestingly, the barrel is what stores the CO2 gas when you are using the system.
The system completely prevents firing live ammo while still maintaining the external functioning of the gun for dry practice.
Instead of 9mm ammo, the CoolFire Trainer uses compressed gas as the only consumable. No projectiles are expelled from the firearm during practice.

Lastly, I threaded the visible laser module onto the barrel.
It felt like it was somewhere in between.
Shown here are the CoolFire Trainer barrel, recoil spring assembly and optional laser emitter.
I knew where my hits were landing.
The Right Training Aid?
Or, at the very least, ingrain a false sense of expectation in a true live-fire instance.
Once installed, the CoolFire Trainer as shown does two things: operates the pistol’s action and emits a laser to indicate shot placement.
Not to mention, airsoft variants arent always a 1:1 replica of their real-world counterparts.
you might actually practice controlling recoil and follow-up shots.
My main takeaway is that the CFT has made dry-fire training something I actually look forward to.
When shooting the Hellcat Pro with the CoolFire Trainer installed, you will experience recoil and noise. Both will be significantly reduced as compared to a 9mm shot.

After installing the CoolFire Trainer parts into your pistol, attach the fill adapter (in blue above) to the CO2 tank so you can refill the training unit.
The CoolFire Trainer comes in a zippered kit that keeps all of the components together.
Dry-fire practice can help you improve your trigger control, a critical aspect to shooting accuracy.
