Mantis X10 Elite Shooting Performance System |Dry Fire Training System | Works with 9mm & Any Other Firearm | Score & Analyze Every Shot with Free App | Shooting Practice at Home

Overall I love it. I just received my X10 today and have shot the introductory course and a few drills. It is fun, and I am a better slow fire shooter than I thought I'd be based on my scores (mid 80% to low 90% scores) in open training.I like seeing the trace maps, the shot analysis screens have a lot of useful data and there are hints and video demonstrations on how to correct the issues the app detects.There are also multiple dry and life fire detection schemes you can select. There is one for double action, but I'm not sure if it is for DAO or DA/SA. Nevertheless, the universal dry fire setting works fine with my DA/SA so no need to change it. They even have a C02 setting for people who want to train with airsoft replicas or BB guns.The kit incuded a universal barrel mount for long guns with several rubber spacers to accommodate different diameter barrels, and it also came with a universal picatinny mount that has the option to use the double sided tape or a screw to mount it. I used the tape to mount it to the base of a magazine after cleaning it with alcohol, and it sticks on solidly.The app has numerous drills and training courses. I am looking forward to completing them. I started the Basic Marksmanship course, but it looks like you need to dry fire for 4 days in a row before you can advance to the next step. I am looking forward to seeing what other challenges there are as I move through the courses.The app will even calculate your ammo savings cost when dry firing. I'm not sure if this algorithm is updated, but it's still fun metric. The X10 cost is close to a 500 round case of centerline pistol ammo. You can easily shoot that up in a couple of weekends at the range, so long term this is going to pay for itself many times over.I did experience an issue with the first one I bought where it wasn't detecting the gun in the holster correctly for holsterdraw analysis, but after exchanging it, everything is working as expected now.I do think once you get above around 90%-95% the analysis results are sort of moot because at some point you are detecting very minute movements. The way the system works is it detects the direction the gun is moving at the time the trigger breaks, and then reports an "error" based on this direction. But if you are an experienced shooter dry firing, and hit a 95% shot, the minimal muzzle movement at that point could be attributed to anything from gust of wind to you own heartbeat. For much larger movements and shots scoring below 80%, I think the analysis is much more applicable.In any case, ultimately, the goal is always just going to be keeping the gun perfectly still on target as the trigger breaks. And this system definitely will help you to focus and concentrate enough to improve.

So, I have a military, law enforcement, hunting, and recreational shooting background, and let me just start by saying this product is a game changer.It’s very easy to use and very intuitive, and incredibly versatile. It works on; pistols, rifles, shotguns, and even bows. Works for dry fire training (not for archery obviously) and works with live fire. With my background I have undergone extensive training, but as anyone that has ever trained at anything knows, there’s always room for improvement. The feedback that this system gives you will help increase your accuracy and build/improve marksmanship fundamentals both at the range and at home. With the cost of ammunition this product can easily pay for itself in a day.I would highly recommend purchasing a Dry Fire Magazine that fits your firearm to accompany the Mantis system. It will make your time much more enjoyable, and will keep you from teaching yourself any bad habits (repositioning your trigger finger after every shot, racking the slide etc.)This product is not inexpensive, but it is worth every penny and after having it for over a month and using it daily I easily see its value at twice the current price. This is the best training system I’ve ever used.Mantis customer service is outstanding. So after your purchase you will have support. They even mail you free patches after completing their courses. Truly a company that stands behind their product.If you’re on the fence about it because of the price, just do it you will not be unsatisfied. If you’re on the fence about it because you don’t know if it works as advertised, it absolutely does.

I’ve been using the Mantis X10 Elite for two weeks, and the level of detailed feedback and analysis it provides is outstanding. Right from the start, it pinpointed flaws in my technique that I had been trying to identify for a while. The system delivers instant feedback, allowing for immediate corrections, and after just a day of use, I could already see noticeable improvements in my consistency and control.Key Highlights:- Instant Performance Breakdown: The Mantis X10 detects grip stability, trigger control, and movement patterns, providing clear, actionable insights for improvement.- Muscle Memory Development: With repeated drills, I quickly ingrained better shooting habits, leading to more consistent, repeatable accuracy.- Cost vs. Value: At $250, it’s a steep price, but in just two weeks, I dry-fired 800 rounds, which would have cost me the same amount in ammunition. Essentially, it paid for itself almost immediately, while giving me better training data than live fire alone.After two weeks, my shot consistency and grip stability have improved significantly, making this a must-have tool for any shooter serious about refining their technique.

What a delightful surprise! I figured this device would be a great idea, but also greatly flawed, patched together. But no, this is a smoothly-working, well-supported, extremely useful device. Mantis provides all the videos and coaching you need to use it properly. I have levelled up to shooting in the 90% range, easily passing the CC test in a matter of weeks. The devicegraphs my barrel movement, analyzes how the gun moved on trigger press, coaches me how to fix it. I use it on my Sig Sauer P365, my Smith and Weson Model 10 revolver, and my Byrna SD self-defense weapon.
