How do you practice with this so that you can shoot more than one shot at a time? Should I use snap caps? I have a Glock 19 9mm.

You can fire only one shot at a time in a Glock 19 because it does not have an external hammer. Therefore, I believe you would have to rack the slide each time you fire the laser. In my Sig 226, I just pull the hammer back each time I fire the laser. When you, manually, insert the Laserlyte into the barrel, when the gun is cocked back, it stays in that position. Therefore, you could not put a snap cap in place. However, I do think the Laserlyte is a great training device.

On a striker fired pistol you need to rack the slide after every test shot. Have the same issue with my Ruger SR45, but not my 1911!

there's a laser in the bullet so every time that you pull the trigger the laser points where the bull would have went

You have to use the laser cartridge for the appropriate caliber. It is rimless so it will not eject when pull the slide.

I have a Glock 19 as well. Are you familiar with the "press check" technique? That's where you load your pistol, chamber a round, and then pull/push the slide back just enough to visually verify you have a round in the chamber without ejecting it. This short pull/push back action is enough to reset the trigger/firing pin. That's how I practice with just a single snap cap in my gun. I just release my support hand grip enough to grasp the forward slide from under the barrel with my thumb and first two fingers, and press back. It's a short and easy transition between trigger presses. I have a Glock 19 as well. Are you familiar with the "press check" technique?

I bought mine a year or so ago and I swear it shoots better freehand / loose than rigidly benched or with a death grip. Try a looser hold.?. I shot a 1" group just sitting down without a bench or rest at 30 yards yesterday. And for more info than you'd wanted, lol... I'd considered buying a pcp (and may still for curiosity's sake) but I kinda dig having to work to be a better shot, than just buying a gun that shoots better... If that makes sense. This gun (at least mine is... You might've gotten a lemon) is accurate enough to be fun to shoot, but finicky enough to be challenging.

Occasional muzzle flash for me but I have only used one type of ammo so far. Concussion and sound are pretty amazing. Sounds like a cannon at an indoor range. I would say a major plus for it would be the reduced recoil and muzzle rise. Definitely worth the money.

I am not familiar with a Glock 26, but if it is a 9mm, I see no problem, I have a Glock 19 Gen 4, which is a medium size 9mm, and the snap caps work fine, their main purpose is to keep the hammer from striking and damaging the firing pin, so as long as the Glock is chambered for 9mm, I see no problem. Now of course the snap cap does not hold an explosive charge, so it will not recycle the slide, but I am sure you are aware of this. These snap caps allow you to fire your Glock, and not experiencing the recoil, and there by, not having the tendency to flinch, and moving your gun sight off of your target, what I do is have someone else to randomly load my Glock magazine with live rounds and snap caps ( I think you should buy a few packages of snap caps, which should give you about fifteen snap caps to intermingle with your live rounds) and then if you don't know whether a live round or snap caps comes next you will get over the tendency to jerk your weapon in anticipating a recoil, and therefore by the time you feel the recoil, your projectile is already on its way, and anyway, in theory this will help you get better groups on your target, good luck, I hope this helps you, and by the way these snap caps should last you quite a while. And as always, point your gun at the target, so as to never, fire a live round at a person, or anything you don't want to destroy. This might be more information, than you need, or want, but in the interest of safety, I would never want you to point a weapon and fire, at anything you don't want to destroy, not knowing whether you have a snap cap or a live round in the chamber. Again good luck and be safe

For regular target shooting, you only need to pump it 3 times. You need to be careful not to pinch your hand while pumping. Yes, it does take some effort and time, but not rushing things will help you become a better shot. Although this gun is very accurate, you will need to get used to the stiff trigger pull. I wish it could be adjusted...but it's that way to keep Crosman out of court, safety-wise. My 18 year-old Grandaughter can out-shoot me with it.

I've only tried it a couple times (largely due to ammo shortage), but that's what I use it with (Hogue grip). It works but seems to need a bit of a jiggle. I'm hoping to get better with practice, as I've never used a speedloader before.

There would be no reason to use snap caps in a blank pistol. Snap caps are used by target shooters to work on and improve trigger control.

Yes, i have had no issues,, however you may want to look at individual cal. as well it is a snap cap,, i have a 9mm and a .40... LOVE the whole system

If the mag fits, use it. For this gun , though, hi-cap is the best. Definitely the best gun for a "spray and pray" player.

you have 8 shots on one end of the clip and then flip it over and you have another 8 shots and if you shoot someone in the face with this gun they will leave for sure, with 8 shots as fast as you can pull the trigger and then flip it and have 8 more, yes you can use this for self defense, but don't have to worry about killing someone, just make them leave.

Karla I have not tried the action shots yet. I was hoping to be able to do this as well, since it was stated that it will take action shots! My friend told me to do the same thing that D. Black suggested. Give it a try and let us know what happens! Happy Shooting!

I use this training cartridge with Glock 19 Gen3. Made about 3000 shots so far. After the first thousand had to replace the rubber button on the rear side. Except that small issue the device works great and really helps me to improve my accuracy.I also used miles gear in service but that's something different.

No I wouldn't shoot continuously but its accuracy is remarkable, well maybe that's the shooter who is accurate. Practice somewhere else, then be accurate and one shoot should do it. lol It's not much louder than an air nail gun and if you shoot from in the house your neighbors will never know.

You have to cock it for each bullet. It will jam if you cock it more than once.

You have to hold down 2 triggers instead of one to get it to fire. You can only shoot one bullet at a time. If you are looking at this for a toddler or younger kid, it's not going to work very well. I got it for my 2 year old hoping he would be able to fire it and he still needs help.

It may be jammed. Make sure the battery is fully charged, then shoot it without the nb magazine. See if any bbs fly out or drop. (Make sure dont point at anybody or shoot indoors for that matter) use the unjamming rod if necessary. Use .25 bbs. this is a quality gun regardless of reviews. I get 27:6 kill ratio with this gun as my main versus other players who use 300 dollar guns (or my other 300 dollar guns for that matter)! Play safe and have fun! (dont use .20bbs or else it WILLjam. And upgrade the battery with an 8.4v it was originally designed by umarex with that battery in mind)

Usually I go through about five clips of ammo with 17 rounds in each clip. However, it is better to put around 12 round in each clip because putting the maximum amount of ammo in the gun causes unnecessarily stress on the spring and usually forces more than one BB into the chamber, causing jams. Please note that jams are very rare, but if you do not care for the gun, it may jam more often than not. To answer your second question, you can put real 1911A1 grips on this pistol as this is a near replica.
