Can’t Find .22 LR Ammo? Here’s One Solution…
Watch LaserLyte .22 LR Trainer in Action
Do you own a .22 LR rimfire pistol? Well now you can transform that handgun into a high-tech laser pistol, thanks to a new gadget from LaserLyte. The new .22 Caliber Laser Trainer works with nearly all .22 LR pistols (but not revolvers) with a striker or conventional firing pin. The battery-powered device emits a laser beam when you pull the trigger. The video below shows how it works.
We have to admit we liked the idea of this device so much, we ordered one from Amazon.com. The $83.22 retail price seems a little steep, but think of all the money you can save on .22 LR ammo (which is pretty darn hard to find these days anyway). We just wish there was a version for .22 LR revolvers.

WARNING: Before you use the LaserLyte .22 Caliber Trainer, check and double-check to ensure your pistol is UNLOADED!! That means NO ROUND IN THE CHAMBER! Pulling the trigger with the training device in the barrel (and a loaded round) could cause serious injury or death to yourself or someone downrange. As with any firearm, always make sure to follow all basic firearm safety rules! Additionally, never point the laser beam at another person — as the laser can cause eye injury.
But can’t dry firing a .22 damage the breech face? .22 snap caps only last so long even if you use the inexpensive drywall anchors…
If it’s anything like my 9mm laser trainer, the firing pin strikes a hard rubber surface. I have shot mine more than I can count and there does not seem to be any wear on the rubber surface that would make it inoperable. I got the laser target as well, but my laser projector is a bullet style that does not eject when you rack the slide.
