Let’s begin by overview of the leaders in the electronic weapons market, namely the SIRT brand of training pistols. At the first mention of the American SIRT training pistols brand, almost everyone thinks of the legendary training guns with the red bolt and grip. So why are these training pistols fit for the intended purpose, enjoying recognition and excellent merchantability all over the globe?
What is SIRT pistol
The answer lies in the ingenious, yet simple principle of its operation. The SIRT guns feature two embedded lasers: red and green.
The red laser indicates the tension of the trigger, showing the trajectory of aiming, and the green one, in its turn, shows the impact of the shot on the target.

Let’s talk a little bit about where the idea for the SIRT training pistol itself came from
It all boils down to the Austrian Glock pistol, specifically the Glock 17 model. To the manufacturers’ delight, the weapon turned out to be reliable and quickly became in demand and even made it into the Guinness Book of World Records. Glock has a number of advantages. Its high corrosion resistance is achieved by a patented method of barrel processing. The use of polymer parts, in turn, reduced recoil and increased shooting accuracy, as well as made the gun lighter.
On top of that, the Glock 17 is easily disassembled for cleaning and maintenance. Most importantly, the gun’s automatic operates on the principle of using recoil with a short barrel stroke. This and some other features led to the fact that the weapon was used by military units and police forces of several dozen countries, such as: Austria, Saudi Arabia, Canada, the U.S. and many others.
Due to this fact, the need for frequent training with the Glock 17 pistol arose. And at that time, the shooters were confronted with a very important point, unnoticeable at first glance. The Glock 17 pistol cannot be used for dry fire training, because the trigger unit or its individual components wear out quickly. The innovative SIRT training pistol was developed precisely for safe and bullet-free training. The range of SIRT pistols is varied. The SIRT 110 is precisely the training analogue of the Glock 17, functionally copying all the characteristics of a comparable combat pistol. In addition, the SIRT 110 fits into a full-size holster of the original pistol, including a Kydex holster. There are also models: the 107 replicating the characteristics of the Smith & Wesson M&P semi-automatic pistol, as well as the new SIRT PP and 20 & 20C training models.
For effective training, the Next Level Training team offers to use the collected knowledge base, namely educational video lessons. A remarkable fact is that the official website presents materials both created by the manufacturer’s team and the best videos of users of the Sirt training system from all over the world. This allows you to use the shooting simulator as efficiently as possible.
