One of my wants last year was to hit the range more often. Sometimes that isn't practical due to cost, time spent driving, etc.
I ended up getting a laser optic target for my 9mm. I can charge it, set it up at home wherever, and practice my aim. I feel like I have gotten better in a few months - or at least my grouping of shots is closer to where I want it to be. Highly recommend looking into one of them if you are at least pistol training.
Interesting. Any links or names you can share?
I didnt want to post a link unless someone asked, but here ya go

$100? I'm totally getting that. Thanks!
Is this a cartridge-sized laser that shines out the muzzle? I have a friend who got one and was wondering if it made a difference since there's obviously no recoil, making it unrealistic. But I guess it's helpful to see where you line up immediately upon drawing your weapon.
You're right that it doesn't have recoil and casings aren't being ejected. It isn't identical to hitting the range, but it does help build your aim which does translate a bit to the real thing. I don't have infinite money for ammo (have ya SEEN the prices of a box of bullets lately?) so it was a nice compromise.
I happened to ask my friend about his and he said he used it for bore-sighting his red dot at home before hitting the range for final adjustments. Pretty cool use of it, I think.
