We use Laser Pistols that have functional features like the Glock 17,19, 22 & 34. We also utilize a variety of popular, concealable sub-compact pistols, such as the Glock 42/43, Ruger LC9, Ruger LCP, S&W Shield, Taurus PT111, and several others. These are special training pistols that provide an auto-resetting, fully adjustable trigger, a trigger take-up, and a shot indicating laser.
