Cheaper than Sirt
I dig the Sirt training laser. Need one in M&P as well.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

The shop in Bellingham that used to do our barrels before we moved does their powder coat! Mount Baker Powder Coating is the name of the place. They do good work, both powder and Cerakote.

I like mine a lot and use it more than any other “dry fire” tool. And I actually chose Glock over S&W partly (not totally by a long shot, but partly) because I figured the SIRT would match it.
(At first, I wondered whether I should wait for the M&P version, because if you Google it and read casually, it looks like that’s right around the corner. Eventually I decided that the M&P SIRT is vaporware for now.)
Was that right? Yes and no. Having the SIRT fit the same holsters as my carry/gaming gun should be handy, but in reality, the bulk of what I do with the SIRT is sight acquisition, vision practice, and trigger control. Its great strength is that it can sit on the nightstand or the kitchen counter, harmless, inert thing that it is, until I casually walk by, pick it up and run through a bunch of trigger presses WHO, then SHO, then freestyle. I don’t use it from a holster all that often.
I also don’t find that it’s a perfect representation of the Glock trigger (but I’ve never adjusted mine.) And I figure, at my skill level, that practice with a slightly different trigger is still helping me a lot. If I had an M&P, the feel would obviously be different than my SIRT, but I don’t think that would negate the advantage of thousands of trigger presses that I just wouldn’t get done by dry firing a pistol that would have to come out of a safe or off my belt, be unloaded and triple checked, etc. etc.
It’s the casual convenience of the SIRT that makes it work for me.

It took some time but I was able to adjust my SIRT to my carry Glock trigger of a NY1 and a 3.5# connector. But it’s not something I could do often to adjust for multiple pistols.
Also, the LASR software is pretty great to use with my SIRT pistol and AR bolt. Almost bought a Laserlyte target but got so much more for almost the same price. With this combo I get some pretty effective training in.
