Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the product's quality and its effectiveness as a training tool, often noting its realistic recoil and ability to enhance dry-fire practice. 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. However, some customers also noted issues with certain components, such as the laser system not holding its point of impact or being overly sensitive. 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.

Written by the company

CoolFire Trainer is the innovative world leader that provides a realistic, safe, and cost-effective way to dry fire using your own handgun anytime, anywhere. To this day, we are still the only innovators that provide this technology. Our drop-in recoiling Barrels fit right in your handgun, allowing you to control the recoil of each shot and train with a level of realism that airsoft, pellet, and non-guns simply cannot compete with. Your live barrel is removed from the firearm, so there is no chamber and, therefore, no way to introduce live ammunition. Your investment pays for itself by the time you finish the first CO2 tank, yet it gives years of use. Visit our website to learn more!

Not a great experience

Not a great experience, particularly considering the premium price.

First issue was sourcing the CO2 nozzle, long trail of emails to get any traction on it. Ended up having to order a second one. Second one, the delivery cost more than the item...

Now trying to use it and the barrel is extremely temperamental. Some time the valve fails to lose properly and leak the entire content straight away. Some times it holds it but once it reaches a point when pressure is low that it doesn't stay closed any more and leak again.... I don't know.

By the way, the CO2 nozzle has similar issues, and yes, everything is lubed properly. I'm guessing rough finished in some of the parts...

The laser stopped working after just a training session... I'm hopping is just the batteries, but fearing the worse at this point.

Not sure if have been unlucky and got a dud, or just the quality is not there...

Good quality, NEEDS supply bottle heat

Good quality, innovative product.
BUT, without MAJOR effort to manage CO2 supply tank temperature, it is useless.
Cool Fire recommends a coffee cup warmer as an accessory you MAY want to purchase. Without it you have NO chance of the recoil unit working past 1 shot, and if shooting indoors you will need a far more significant heater setup, like an electric sock to wrap the bottle with.

Loc tight not enough to keep zero

Even with the loc tight, the rapid fill adapter with laser looses its zero after only a couple of refills.

I include the cool fire trainer along side my mantis 10 dry fire trainer with my mantis set on live fire and it works just as if I was firing live rounds. Made my dry & live fire training the best I could ask for. GREAT JOB!!

3 star rating because the little bottle of lubricant was empty.

3 star rating because the little bottle of lubricant was empty. Then I contacted coolfiretrainer.com and was told and given an address I could order the lubricant.
I did not get any, so they wanted me to just order some more lubricant
Thats not good customer service

Easy to order and fast delivery

Easy to order and fast delivery. The cool fire trainer works well but I did have to add a little locktite to the barrel threads as it kept unscrewing when I removed the laser/quick fill.

Overall I like the product and it is beneficial for training. There is a small issue with the laser “doubling” and getting two shots in different positions on a laser recording program.
