The SIRT is a useful training tool to augment live fire training exercises. The resetting trigger allows the user to “fire” the gun without having to action the slide and the shot indicating lasers provide immediate feedback for shot accuracy. SIRT is an acronym for Shot Indicating Resetting Trigger. As the name suggests, the trigger […]
In the following video are three different training scenarios that Loadout Room writer, Wes Nanny goes through during his firearms training sessions at the local Law Enforcement agency he works for. 1st Drill Just like running and lifting weights, it’s important to warm up before you shoot too.

The more I teach good Americans to protect themselves and their families, the more I am learning that mindset is something that we have to weave into every aspect of our training.

Recently I set out to find where the firearms industry was at regarding training in Virtual Reality (VR).

The SIRT Pocket Pistol variant of the SIRT […]
