Many consumers highlight the exceptional customer service, describing it as top-notch, responsive, and helpful in addressing inquiries and ensuring satisfaction. The overall service and user experience are frequently commended for being excellent, making practice convenient and enjoyable.

A few people experienced problems with the CO2 system, including leaks from the adapter or the barrel assembly, and some mentioned that the product's force diminished quickly after a few shots. Additionally, some reviewers were not happy with the design of certain parts, like bulky laser modules or fragile plastic washers, which they felt impacted the product's durability and practicality for serious use.

This is a SICK product that definitely changes how you can train!! The fact I don't have to spend way to much money on ammo and my wife and daughter have trained with it to test fire and were very impressed with the promise to continue especially since I plan to purchase the Glock 19 version then the Sig 365. You folks have a lifelong customer as long as you keep putting great products like this! Also could you possibly make this for the PSA Rock 57 or the Ruger57. All in all it's a great product!!

I love the idea of the coolfire system

I love the system conceptually. The ability to dryfire with follow on shots and simulated recoil is incredible. The only drawbacks I've had is with the laser system. It won't hold a point of impact even with the loctite. It's also very sensitive, it goes off multiple times with one trigger press. I believe the motion of the slide reciprocating causes the laser to activate. I don't know if I received a malfunctioning unit or if it's just how they are designed. Either way the laser is the biggest drawback to really cool system.

User review

The items shipped fast without any need of expedited shipping. The item recoils as advertised however the laser quick fill adapter leaks after about 4-5 uses in one session. I believe this is due to freezing, the rubber gasket in the refill valve loses its ability to seal proper after freezing. I wish the recoil was a little harder. I'm using it on a sig P320. Overall it is more enjoyable than having to rack the slide manually, adds excitement to dry fire training. I hope for improvements and more firearm variety.

5 Star Service, must have for training

Where do I start, with the 5 star service or the 5 star product. Let's start with the service, Sandy is the best! Was having issues with the laser interacting with my smokeless range. Turns out I was sent the wrong laser, in my bronze kit, needed the ir laser. No problem, Sandy hooked me up with a discount for my troubles and had the new one sent out right away. Thanks again Sandy
Now for the Coolfire system itself, another 5 star rating. To be able to use my real edc for home practice is priceless! The recoil takes dry fire practice to another level, love the immersion. My Laser ammo smokeless range setup is great, except for having to use a toy gun(although felt real)This just sealed the deal. I'm so happy with the system that I kept the Laser that was originally sent to use with my other setup. One other thing, for me only having a solid 10 shots with my P365xMacro Comp is perfect. Gives me time to step away and assess my shots. So I hope this helps in your decision. Just get it you won't regret it!

This thing is easy to use

This thing is easy to use. It is vary nice to have the firing pin get reset after every shot. This is something I can practice in my living room and it won’t wake up the kids.

It works pretty well once got it set up. There was no explanation of needing to adjust a set screw to make barrel fit the frame. Only after I purchased and had to fight to look through the manual (online, not included) did I know I needed a coffee cup heater for the soda bottle canister to work. Which Coolfire doesn't sell.

Works as intended, BUT...

The CoolFire Trainer barrel works just as intended. Just on the first few days of using it for a few sessions, I noticed my trigger pulls and target acquisitions drastically improved. In addition, the countless other drills improved also such as drawing from the holster, target transitioning and etc. The great thing is, it was all from the comfort of my house. I did knock off one star due to the cost of the striker tips. It becomes pricey considering if you practice often. Albeit, I can probably 3D print soft TPU material to replace the striker tips.

Everything about this product feels quality

Everything about this product feels worth the money. The presentation is excellent as well as the accompanying literature and carrying case. My only complaint is that it only fires the first 3 shots with good force, and then falls off dramatically. I understand the physical limitations of my barrel's size/length determines this. I was just hoping I'd get at least 9-10 shots with good force. In total I get a max of 15 shots per refill, which is pretty good.

I absolutely love the coolfire barrels

I absolutely love the coolfire barrels. Paired with the smokeless range, I use it to train and as a instructor military side, I use it to help teach my buddies how to shoot better in my basement. It is a very crucial tool I use before matches that helps make me better and gives me a competitive edge.
