Amazing system! I try and do dry fire practice every day or two, and since being disabled and on a fixed income makes it hard to get out even in the best of times, this is something that can actually show results. I'm sure I could even get my wife in on the action! This is truly revolutionary!
I need dry fire in my training routine! I just retired and was already doing range live fire drills 3 of 4 Saturdays a month with our club - Texas Defensive Shooting Club. I now have time to do some indoor (stay out of the Texas heat) dry fire training with my Staccato P and Sig P365XL. Thanks Jerry and Mantis X!
I would love something like this system. Could really save some time and money at the range. I just might have to pick one up, cause I never win anything.lol thanks for all the great advice Jerry, you are truly an American icon.
Kudos to Jerry for showing us his weaknesses. Not a lot of men are humble enough to do that…of course, he’s still better than all of us. I’d love to have a Mantis X. I head up a church security team and we could use it to practice without having to spend personal fortunes on ammo. Thanks for the gear drawing Jerry. It was great to have the chance to meet you and Lena at Freedom Days in Phoenix and thanks for the autographed shotgun shell. It’s on my shelf with the rest of my treasures.
I would use it for common sense everyday edc training. As a retired LEO living were the range is not as close as it once was, this tool would help to keep up the skill level and build in solid essentials to edc carry. Great video guys. Thanks for sharing.
This “Mantis X” would be the perfect companion for me when I’m trying out new holsters or similar gear. My local indoor ranges won’t let me draw from the holster, so I could use the Mantis X to know what my draw is like, and then shoot at the range from the low ready. Anything that helps sharpen my skills is awesome, but to do so without having to spend a bunch of extra on ammo is amazing!
I have recently started target shooting and love it. Mantis X10 will improve every aspect of my shooting skills from drawing the gun to making an accurate shot
I used to shoot local and state USPSA and IDPA. I usually finish in the middle of the pack, just to give you an idea of where I was. Nothing special at all. I had some back surgeries that didn't go well. So........I haven't been able to shoot much for about 5 years. I would like to get some ideas about how bad I am now, and what I need to work on. My draw to first shot was never great. So that's it. Great watching you Jerry.
Well, I own every product Mantis makes, although I am eagerly awaiting the new, improved Blackbeard. I improved the quality of my shooting dramatically using the X10--put thousands of "rounds" of dry fire through it which saved me having to get that second mortgage on the house to afford ammunition. Lately, I have been using the X10 a lot to attempt to improve my recoil control: the data allows you to swap between a "standard" thumbs-forward grip and the Miculek "finger-in-front-of-the-trigger-guard" grip and get quality, actionable data to be able to get back on target faster. I love the thing, and try to use it every day for at least the "daily challenge" and some holster draw, because, importantly, it's fun! On a side note, you gotta admire the stones on Austin to be able to say "we're going to see what your shooting proficiency is like" to the greatest shooter of all time! =D
I could really use the input for not only my bullseye shooting but also as a training tool for some students in the firearms classes I teach. Thanks for an awesome presentation.
I'm a combat wounded vet from Iowa that very recently started getting into pistol shooting. I was military trained but recently took private lessons and learned so much. I really think this would benefit my progress and help me save a little money on ammo while improving my technique before my next class in September
Looks like a great learning tool for sure. Being a senior citizen I would use it to practice my home defense shooting. Right now I just dry fire which does not tell me if I even hit the target. I think my wife would also use this as well. Thanks for the videos.
I've had a X3 for a while now... still working and has made a huge improvement in my shooting... if I'm at the range or dry firing at home my MantisX 3 is always on my G19. What a great tool and great build/design/engineering! I can't wait until I can my hands on the X10, I need the holster draw analysis in my life, best thing since sliced bread IMO
That is would be great for my wife and me. Running three kids around makes it tough to get out and find a range much less spending a bunch on ammo. Looks like a great tool for shooting better.
This would be awesome to get some training in even on those days you can't get to the range. Been wanting to get into competitive shooting and not just practical stuff.
With ammo prices and availability in some areas still annoying or simply having a good place, this would be great for dry fire practice at home. Id use the heck out of this!
I just started (finally!) shooting competitions, did a new shooters match last week, and have my second USPSA event tonight, I do need to pick up one of these to help me progress.
I lost both legs around 4-5years ago ad in that i lost all my guns to pay for those surgeries. I be recently bought my first pistol in 4years. Went shooting with with some family a couple of weeks ago and I sucks, unless I was resting on a table I barely hit the target. I was drawing from a chest rig and a modified magnetic holster on the side of my wheelchair. I think this would definitely help retrain the brain and show the shortcomings on how I have things set up Thanks for the consideration WILLIAM
I would use one of those, I do some small amateur 3 gun competitions. that could really help get me on target better without having to spend a bunch of money on ammo.
The level of data you can collect from this device would be great to analyze and work on getting better while dry firing. Would love to have a mantis device. Thank you for the content.
My wife loves using the mantis x3 for both live fire and dry fire training so she can see her mistakes and work on them. The x10 would be nice for draw analysis.
We used the Mantis a lot when I was an active duty Marine. When I retired, I bought one and use it several times a week. Great training tool. Thanks for the video!
This is a great aid for personal defense training as well. Help train good muscle memory and show you bad or useles action before it becomes a habitual behavior. espcially the trigger control, i was very impressesed with how accurately it shows minor deviations.
Watch out guys, there is a scam going on. Someone hacked in and his telling everyone they won the mantis contest. Do not respond to the random text number.
I just purchased a S&W M&P 2.0 w/ red dot after carrying a 6906 for many years. I'm noticing that acquiring the red dot is difficult for my old eyes and have really had to practice draw to first shot. This would be a great tool to help see where else I could improve!
I don’t have anywhere to practice my holster draw. I was going to ask for this for Christmas, but winning one would be even better. I’m very new to shooting and need all the help I can get with accuracy. I want to be accurate after drawing from the holster though and don’t even get to practice that.
We would love to add this to are training for dry fire we have the mantis black beard and love it i have 4 adults 3 kids and we can't afford live fire on a regular basis.
I picked up my X10 last September and absolutely love it. So far, I have logged over 35,000 shots and am pleased with my overall and consistent improvements. Gotta' say, the technical feedback of this tool is brutally honest and quite humbling, although quite necessary if you are serious about wanting to become a better shooter. When I began, my averages were in the low 80's. Since then, they have improved to consistently dry firing in the mid to upper 90's. Recently, I've started focusing on my Holster Draw Analysis. Boy, that drill will make a BIG dent in your overall average, but the feedback will let you know exactly what you need to focus on to improve. In my opinion, there's not much benefit in practicing just to maintain a high average if you invested the time in developing those skills you will really need when it comes to defending yourself in a quick holster draw situation. I can already tell I will be investing many hours with this drill. By the way, using my Mantis Laser Academy (in the Open Training mode) while practicing with my X10 Holster Draw Analysis drill also provides feedback on my target accuracy. Love all of the Mantis products and their customer support is top notch if you have questions!
I know I’m weak in training. I recently moved from out in a rural area where I could walk into a field near the house, to a neighborhood in town. Because it is a chore to go to the range, I don’t shoot as often as I would like. Having the Mantis X-10 would allow me to improve while hiding in my shop.
Wow..i would love this..if i had one i as i am in law enforcement in South africa, where we dont get close enough practice i could be the best i could be and in my work relating to usage if needed and could assit my colleagues to improve to highest standerds.
As much as I definitely need it for IPSC training, I would use it for a fundraising campaign for the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights federal court legal and Constitutional/Charter challenge of the Canadian government's gun ban.
This looks like a hightech device to improve all of our gun teams at the range. Until now we use a different system, a bulky infrared "light" and a sensor plate. We but sure would switch to Mantis X and promote it to all our club members.
I retired last year and decided to take up shooting for both self-defense and as a sport. I am waiting on my LTC from (Massachusetts) the state so I can get started. I have taken a couple of live lessons as well as online lessons. Everyone has stressed the importance of dry fire. I have checked out many of the available dry fire products and it seems to me that Mantis is far and away the best tool. Can't wait to get started.
I'm disabled and on a very fixed budget which doesn't allow me to get to the range to train with my (cheapest gun that runs) Taurus g2c as often as I'd like and some dryfire would help me save money on ammo and having to buy new barrels (lol) I would definitely put it to good use
I've had my Mantis X10 for almost 3 years now, one thing that I like to use it for that I don't see anyone else doing is when I'm testing new handloads. I can get more reliable data when looking at the groups if I have the data from the X10 letting me see my fault in it. Better and more consistent data contributes to better and more consistent ammo.
Started with early mantis version about 4 years ago then got the x10. Use it for dryfire would like to use more for drawstroke analysis and try more for life fire
Hi Jerry. Think the Mantis X would help decide which weapon would be best for EDC as I actually have several to choose from. It should help to improve draw and speed. Might even let my sons try it🤠
This would help with both live and dry fire training. Especially when I take some who isn't as proficient with firearms to the range. I would personally use it on multiple guns and calibers.
I'm a new shooter and am doing prity well for new shooter . I have managed high 3s low 4s in steel speed challenge I'd love to see the difference to keep me in low 3s this would help a tone . I managed a 2.33 once love to get back there all the time I'd be happy to record and show how this helps me .
I own and have used the MantisX exclusively for my dry fire training since September 2021. It is without a doubt the best training tool for dry fire I have come across. I train our church Security Team and have endorsed this product since my exposure to it, several members now own their own units. I’m old school, and like Jerry, I liked to take a bucket of bullets to the range and train but those days have disappeared for the time being, so the MantisX is the next best thing in my opinion!
I'd use it for drawing concealed carry practice from a normal position instead of the ready position. Just to be more realistic in my training as to what would be real world since I don't compete. I do this now in front of a full length mirror so that I'm aiming at a real person. This would aid in showing where I'm adding time that could cost me in a life and death situation.
I would love to use the Mantis X for training for the bianchi cup and the Steel challenge. Then maybe I could shoot with you again, since it has been many years since Bianchi X and Bianchi XX. Thanks! DVC...Mark Polansky. P.S. See you in Houston....
I use the Mantis to improve my holster draw and recoil management. I train with it both dry and live fire. It gives me a "personal trainer" experience.
My wife and I use the Mantis. We love it. It’s interesting to me to see Jerry engage with it and warm up to it. At first, you kind of get the feeling that he was irritated having to do the demo and that this was just some sponsor obligation. Then, the more he saw what this was doing and how well it worked, he really seemed to like it.
I think the selling point for Jerry would be that it took Jerry decades to understand how he performs (needing a 50 rd warmup, for example). With equipment like the Mantis and slow motion video, you can understand how you perform much sooner and with less rounds fired.
I have shot pistols off and on but never really trained consistently. My daughter and I are starting to train in order to begin shooting 3 gun competitions. The Mantis X10 would be a very valuable tool to help us become more proficient without having to expend the large amounts of ammo we are already about to start using.
A Mantis would definitely help my draw from concealment. I carry a SW Shield and the thin grip seems to challenge me more than my Glock for a consistent first grip. The Mantis could definitely help me analyze the mechanics of what's different between my execution of initial grip between the two firearms.
You’re my inspiration Jerry. I study your technique quite a bit and I find it awe-inspiring that you have created such a legendary reputation. Your modesty is badass.
Great video! Really amazing to see those minute details to fine tune your draw in presentation! I have a P3 20 carry size that I would like to use this system to train with. Would be awesome to win! Thanks for the chance!
With ammo prices and shortage this would be a valuable tool to get excellent data on dry practice runs. I would use on my pistol practice without having to spend so much ammo when it’s still hard to find and save money
I will donate it to my Rifle Club. The X10 can be used with handguns, rifles, shotguns and archery equipment. I would expect that it will result in many sales for individuals when they get a chance to experience it.

"we're going to see what your shooting proficiency is like" Jerry sets the bar pretty darned high (even if he hasn't practiced much this year) :)

I now have time to do some indoor (stay out of the Texas heat) dry fire training with my Staccato P and Sig P365XL. Thanks Jerry and Mantis X!
You're a legend in the sport shooting community. Love your work, sir.
The technology is awesome but I absolutely love your ammo shelf. It just puts me in a good mood looking at it!
Dry fire training is key for me. This would really help me with my trigger discipline.
I would love something like this system. Could really save some time and money at the range. I just might have to pick one up, cause I never win anything.lol thanks for all the great advice Jerry, you are truly an American icon.
I have been using a LazerHIT system for about 15 months and it has helped, along with saving ammo, but I really like the muzzle analysis on 10X.
Kudos to Jerry for showing us his weaknesses. Not a lot of men are humble enough to do that…of course, he’s still better than all of us. I’d love to have a Mantis X.

Recreational and self-defense focused shooter who would like to get into some faster-paced stuff. Looks like a cool system!
The biggest focus for me would be trigger control. Being able to work on that dry and being able to see where I need help would be great.
I'm a combat wounded vet from Iowa that very recently started getting into pistol shooting. I was military trained but recently took private lessons and learned so much.

I'd like to have this just as an aide to make me a more proficient shooter. Great video, compared to all the other I've seen.
This would be awesome to get some training in even on those days you can't get to the range. Been wanting to get into competitive shooting and not just practical stuff.
I use Mantis x10 for competition training and self defense. It really helps diagnosing problems, I would defiantly recommend trying this out.
living in Germany I have never had the opportunity to use the mantis.. but I'd loved to work with for ipsc
With ammo prices and availability in some areas still annoying or simply having a good place, this would be great for dry fire practice at home. Id use the heck out of this!
I just started (finally!) shooting competitions, did a new shooters match last week, and have my second USPSA event tonight, I do need to pick up one of these to help me progress.
I would love a way to see what I need to work on. It would definitely up my dry fire trainin. Thank you fer showin this

Kewl demo with interesting diagnostic insight.

We used the Mantis a lot when I was an active duty Marine. When I retired, I bought one and use it several times a week. Great training tool. Thanks for the video!
I primarily use a mantis for dry firing drill in offhand with a service rifle and M1 Garand
This is a great aid for personal defense training as well. Help train good muscle memory and show you bad or useles action before it becomes a habitual behavior. espcially the trigger control, i was very impressesed with how accurately it shows minor deviations.
Watch out guys, there is a scam going on. Someone hacked in and his telling everyone they won the mantis contest. Do not respond to the random text number.
I'd love to try with a system like this to get better muscle memory if I was ever in a defensive response situation.
Machine must be broken..... Jerry is a MACHINE, a well oiled machine 🙌
Definitely use it to improve draw to target time
I'd love to practice my draw with this product!
I just purchased a S&W M&P 2.0 w/ red dot after carrying a 6906 for many years. I'm noticing that acquiring the red dot is difficult for my old eyes and have really had to practice draw to first shot. This would be a great tool to help see where else I could improve!

Let’s learn some things today Gentleman.
That Tech Guy correcting Miculek seems like he don't ever wanna come back on another episode.
As much as I definitely need it for IPSC training, I would use it for a fundraising campaign for the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights federal court legal and Constitutional/Charter challenge of the Canadian government's gun ban.
Man, since I moved and don't have a range 5 minutes from my house anymore I don't shoot nearly enough, this would really fill in some gaps.
I'd use the Mantis for improving my sight acquisition and trigger control.
I'd love to be able to help my trigger control out, looks like a really good tool. Thanks put me in the pot please.
This looks like a hightech device to improve all of our gun teams at the range. Until now we use a different system, a bulky infrared "light" and a sensor plate. We but sure would switch to Mantis X and promote it to all our club members.
I would love this for my Glock 19X and 17

I have checked out many of the available dry fire products and it seems to me that Mantis is far and away the best tool. Can't wait to get started.
That's a cool tool
The Mantis X10 would be a great supplement to traditional dry-fire and live shooting, saving lots of money on ammo while keeping reps up!
I'm disabled and on a very fixed budget which doesn't allow me to get to the range to train with my (cheapest gun that runs) Taurus g2c as often as I'd like and some dryfire would help me save money on ammo and having to buy new barrels (lol)
I would definitely put it to good use
I really need this I'm having trouble finding my dot on target and ammo is to dam much to keep in practice
I borrowed a friend's Mantis and almost didn't give it back. I need to get back into dry fire drills, especially with my new EDC pistol.
I've had my Mantis X10 for almost 3 years now, one thing that I like to use it for that I don't see anyone else doing is when I'm testing new handloads. I can get more reliable data when looking at the groups if I have the data from the X10 letting me see my fault in it. Better and more consistent data contributes to better and more consistent ammo.
Started with early mantis version about 4 years ago then got the x10. Use it for dryfire would like to use more for drawstroke analysis and try more for life fire
Jerry your cool and your the Mack Daddy on the shooting range 😊👍
Hi Jerry. Think the Mantis X would help decide which weapon would be best for EDC as I actually have several to choose from. It should help to improve draw and speed. Might even let my sons try it🤠
This would help with both live and dry fire training. Especially when I take some who isn't as proficient with firearms to the range.
I would personally use it on multiple guns and calibers.
I'm a new shooter and am doing prity well for new shooter . I have managed high 3s low 4s in steel speed challenge I'd love to see the difference to keep me in low 3s this would help a tone . I managed a 2.33 once love to get back there all the time I'd be happy to record and show how this helps me .
Thanks for sharing
Great training tool to track progress and analyze areas for improvement
I own and have used the MantisX exclusively for my dry fire training since September 2021. It is without a doubt the best training tool for dry fire I have come across. I train our church Security Team and have endorsed this product since my exposure to it, several members now own their own units. I’m old school, and like Jerry, I liked to take a bucket of bullets to the range and train but those days have disappeared for the time being, so the MantisX is the next best thing in my opinion!
Thanks
I'd use it for drawing concealed carry practice from a normal position instead of the ready position. Just to be more realistic in my training as to what would be real world since I don't compete. I do this now in front of a full length mirror so that I'm aiming at a real person. This would aid in showing where I'm adding time that could cost me in a life and death situation.
It would be great practice for a run and gun Completion
It would actually make dry firing more than a muscle memory exercise, you can diagnose and correct your flaws. Cool idea. Have a great day.
I would love to use the Mantis X for training for the bianchi cup and the Steel challenge. Then maybe I could shoot with you again, since it has been many years since Bianchi X and Bianchi XX. Thanks! DVC...Mark Polansky. P.S. See you in Houston....
I use the Mantis to improve my holster draw and recoil management. I train with it both dry and live fire. It gives me a "personal trainer" experience.
Does the Mantis have enough field of view to track what you are doing with a rifle or shotgun as well?
I would like to use my Mantis for my second year shooting USPSA.
I like it! Definitely would help me improve!
Is it only available for 9mm or can you also get it for the AR platform? Great video as always Jerry, thank you.
My wife and I use the Mantis. We love it. It’s interesting to me to see Jerry engage with it and warm up to it. At first, you kind of get the feeling that he was irritated having to do the demo and that this was just some sponsor obligation. Then, the more he saw what this was doing and how well it worked, he really seemed to like it.
With the high cost of ammo the Mantis system would be a great way to train without breaking the bank.
I think the selling point for Jerry would be that it took Jerry decades to understand how he performs (needing a 50 rd warmup, for example). With equipment like the Mantis and slow motion video, you can understand how you perform much sooner and with less rounds fired.
I would get great feedback without the expense of hundreds of practice rounds. I hope I'm the winner of the system.
I have shot pistols off and on but never really trained consistently. My daughter and I are starting to train in order to begin shooting 3 gun competitions. The Mantis X10 would be a very valuable tool to help us become more proficient without having to expend the large amounts of ammo we are already about to start using.
A Mantis would definitely help my draw from concealment. I carry a SW Shield and the thin grip seems to challenge me more than my Glock for a consistent first grip. The Mantis could definitely help me analyze the mechanics of what's different between my execution of initial grip between the two firearms.
Never used a Mantis or anything like it. I'm just a beginner so it would be great for improving my skills and getting proficient.
Trigger control for me, with ammo cost I don't get to the range as much as I would like (and need).
To help my wife and I get better with are shooting practice. We have a special needs son it gets hard sometimes to practice.
You’re my inspiration Jerry. I study your technique quite a bit and I find it awe-inspiring that you have created such a legendary reputation. Your modesty is badass.
Great video! Really amazing to see those minute details to fine tune your draw in presentation! I have a P3 20 carry size that I would like to use this system to train with. Would be awesome to win! Thanks for the chance!
I would love a mantis for my dad. The competition between us would be sick
