Considering using one of these for dry fire practice in my Glock 17.

Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Can't see much value for pure dry firing. Seems like a very good idea for grappling, FOF, combatives, and the like.Originally Posted by GJM

PITA to get just right when you install them.

I've got one. It gives me peace of mind when dry firing to know that there is absolutely no way the gun can discharge.

There is no safety reason because you have to pull the trigger on the Glock in order to take it apart and then install the barrel. If you can unload it to put the barrel in then you can unload it to dry fire safely?
You still have to tap and rack the slide to operate the trigger a second time.
There really isn't much need for it at that point.
And lastly, if you rack the pistol like you mean it then after just a few racks it will come apart inside the pistol.
What you do right before you know you're going to be in a use of force incident, often determines the outcome of that use of force.
Seems like an way way to make a trainer gun for instruction.
From my Motorola StarTAC.
Do they give the firing pin something to impact? I could see some real benefit for dry fire if the weapon condition is easily verified and the firing pin is cushioned.

Seems like a waste of $14 to me, but I understand the appeal. If it makes you feel better, go for it.
I also don't like things that change the weight of my real rig. In dry fire, I use dummy rounds that are real brass and real bullets, sans powder and primer. This would go against my principle.
Slightly cheaper and different take on the same solution (some would say in search of a problem): http://www.letargets.com/content/ts-...ear-device.asp. I use this in my main training/dry-fire gun, whatever it is at the time. I like that it takes away the ability to chamber a round. I have the BT traing barrel and prefer the LE Targets insert. The BT is easier to identify as an inert weapon, though.

I use them for teaching quite a bit, they are a great option for safer dry fire. I have never had any issues installing them just as easily as a normal Glock barrel.
Had mine for years and they still work fine.
