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!

Very Nice Products

Very Nice Products, Quick turnaround on the order. They do have a lot of products I would like to try, but have been on back order for more than a year. But as far as what I purchased, it works as described and is a great option for firearms training.

Great quality and excellent service

The order was delivered quickly. The quality of the product was excellent, as expected (this is my second coolfire unit). When I encountered difficulty during installation, tech support was quick to respond with a solution to get me up and running.

I couldn't be happier with the product and the support. Absolutely first-rate!

I am really very impressed with the CoolFire Trainer setup and how it's improved my fundamentals in the short time I've used it with my Shield Plus.

Having the recoil as well as the ability to shoot multiple 'shots' without racking the slide is absolutely invaluable as an at-home training aid!

The icing on the cake is that the service and support I've received from CoolFire has been first-rate and honestly unbeatable.

I would highly recommend CoolFire as an addition to your at-home dry fire training! If you're serious about improving your shooting skills, the value for the money of this training system is truly unbeatable.

Exemplary Customer Service

I had an excellent experience with this company’s customer service team. From the very beginning, they were incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to ensure that all of my concerns were addressed thoroughly and promptly.
Sandy, in particular, was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and dedicated to providing top-notch support throughout our communication. Boone from technical support was also very helpful and professional, offering clear and patient guidance whenever needed.
Even when some of the issues stemmed from my own misunderstanding of how to use the product, the team remained helpful, understanding, and committed to making sure everything was handled the right way.
It's rare to find a company that stands behind their customer support like this one does. I truly appreciate the level of care and professionalism shown. Highly recommended!

USPSA Classifiers rehearsal tool

I think this is a good tool to practice grip pressure the night before the match. Would go for 15-20 shots with a 2011 barrel. Helps rehearsing classifiers. Pricey though

Easy to install

Easy to install. Provides a good amount of recoil. My daughter was unwilling to fire the rifle at the range but after using the CFT she's ready to try it out.

Better Instructions with product

Better Instructions with product, warning that the stopper for the firing pin wears out verty fast. Filling instructions lacking. need to offer information or product and filling by 20 or 30 pound tank.

Service is above and beyond

My overall experience with this company has been an excellent one. The products are shipped with a flat rate and in a prompt manner. Kudos to their Customer Support Manager with whom I dealt with when I had a delay in one of my shipments; that was not the fault of the company but of the United States Postal Service. This manager went above and beyond to insure my complete satisfaction.

Poor Communications...

Tried to order the system for the Staccato P.
As I completed the order, there was no option to order a laser. Because of that, I thought a laser must be included on the bull barrel kit.
Later, I discovered this was not the case, and it would be another $115 for a laser.
What good is this system without a way to see where you are hitting? Why would you even offer it without at least the option of including a laser?
Luckily, I was able to cancel my order before it was shipped. I'll put that $500 towards ammunition.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for the confusion during your ordering experience. To clarify, our kits are designed so customers can choose whether or not to add a laser, since some prefer to use their own or run the system without one. The option to include a laser is listed separately, but we understand this wasn’t as clear as it should have been in your case.

We’ll take your comments into account to make the ordering process clearer moving forward. If you decide to give us another try, our team would be happy to walk you through the options to ensure you get exactly what you need!

Good products

Good products, though I had to modify the 1911 Bull Barrel 4.25" model to install into my Rock Island Pistol. The website information tabs were non-operational, causing me to search YouTube for product information & use. Instructions with the products would be nice.

Great products and great service

Great products and great service. Combined with my simulator their product allows me to get realistic training reps in my home at any time. Helps keep the rust off and made the transition to a red dot so much faster. Support has always been top notch too. Great company, keep it up!
