Mantis Laser Academy VS Strikeman

You made the right choice brother.. Glad the video helped.

Great comparison! I was about to buy the Stikeman product until you compared the two side-by-side. You saved me from making a costly mistake. I feel you were fair in the comparison of the two products and you made my decision easier. I'm buying the Mantis System. Thanks again.

Hi there, Unfortunately, I bought Strikeman first. However, That Mantis system looks like really good stuff in comparison, would that system happen to registered the scratches that the laser light makes from an aggressive or even, a canted trigger pull?

[@stevenm7566]

Me too!

[@itswolfepack3825]

Strikeman is fine if you use your actual carry and not be like this guy and use a plastic practice pistol. Lol why anyone would chose to use a plastic pistol over your actual carry gun is beyond me.

Thanks for this review. Was hard to find a practical review on Mantis. Most were just setup instructional videos and nothing about overall use and “accuracy”. Thanks again.

[@progun45]

Welcome. You made the right choice.

[@ato5037]

Yes. It's like you said in the video, it all comes down to the user as to which system is better. Right now, I have the Strikeman system, and it picks up every shot that I take. I guess they must have updated the Strikeman app now, since this video was from a year ago... I did look at all the drills available for the Mantis Laser Academy, but they seemed kind of unnecessary for me. So, I think I'll just stay with the Strikeman... My big question is: can the laser cartridge from the Mantis system work with the Strikeman system? The laser cartridge from Mantis is cheaper than the Strikeman's, so I just want to save money. 😅 (Even when the Strikeman laser cartridges go on sale, they're still a little more expensive than the Mantis's.) Oh, and on a side note, Mantis now has a "portable" version of the Laser Academy; so it's the same price as the regular Strikeman system.

[@progun45]

Any laser cartridge will work with either system. I even use a SIRT pistol with Mantis. As long as you train, it doesn't matter what you use. I still think mantis has the best software.

I got the Strikeman as a Christmas gift. I really like it. I have yet to have the issues you did with it not registering my shots. And mine did come with a plastic ejector rod. I have no complaints so far. That being said, for like $50 more, you get WAY more stuff with the Mantis system. If I was to buy one, I’d go for the Manits. But I can’t complain, my Strikeman was a gift to me and it works.

Glad you liked the review. The SIRT is a great tool but honestly, I only got it because I got a steep NRA instructor discount. I agree you are better off using your EDC for practice. Blackbeard is really a game changer since it doesn't alter your trigger, it's the same trigger pull and reset. Mantis is by far the best training system and the app is awesome.

[@bobjohnson5218]

Great review. I really wish you could have gone into some app settings namely the Ballistic Offset. The video from Mantis mentioned it but does Strikeman have it. I downloaded their app but don't see anything like that. It's extremely important to be able to have the laser hit the center of the target w/o needing to adjust your sights or hold off the center.

[@progun45]

Thanks man, the Mantis app is far superior to Strikeman. The Strikeman app really isn't ready for prime time. I am a software developer so I can make that assessment.

[@chicksgrowtoo]

Once you buy this, do you need to keep replacing the bullet after a while, and if so, how often, approximately? And how much are the bullets? What other expenses are there once you have the system? What a great review!! Thanks! ❤❤❤

Glad you liked the video. The laser lasts for thousands of shots. You only need to replace the batteries. I am still using my original batteries.

Would you happen to know if the strikeman will work with any paper target or is their target some special material for the phone to pick up the flash?

[@progun45]

Mantis Laser Academy is the way to go. The app is state of the art and it uses targets. Mantis X is only a simulation and it does not show you where you hit your target and does not use targets for training, you shoot at anything and it tries to calculate what you hit. . Laser Academy also keeps history so you can see your improvement and is the best system on the market.

You did not do a fair comparison, I have both as well. In the Strikeman session you did not zoom into the target you left it all the way zoomed out.

Also my Mantis laser broke after about 6 months of use and my Strikeman is on the 8 set of batteries and still going strong (about 5,000-7,000 shots a set) the Mantis retails at $50 more for 4X's less distance and its a peice of junk that broke quickly for $149.

@@mikewoodworth3569 The 199.00 Strikeman is still poor compared to the Mantis 149.00 system. Hey if Strikeman works for you, good for you. The Mantis Pro app is free and Strikeman makes you pay for the Pro App which brings up the cost of Strikeman even more making it even less of a value. That is why there are alternatives, everyone has different opinions.

Where can I get the pistol that you used that you don't have to rack

[@progun45]

It is a SIRT pistol from nextleveltraining.com

Anybody know how these two products fair against iTarget pro?

[@progun45]

I can say Mantis is a tough act to follow. The Mantis App is the best I have ever seen and I am a software guy.

[@ebeb9156]

Felt a litlle unfair comparison. Due to lack of Striker Pro presentation.

[@progun45]

You are entitles to your opinion but the Striker App sucks big time. Mantis App was already much better and their new App release is just incredible. Whatever works for you is all that matters.

@@progun45 still you convinced me to buy Mantis so...🤣 Thnx

[@progun45]

If you get it let me know how you like it. You will thank me for it. I am a software developer by trade so I can say Mantis Laser Academy App is the best on the market by far.

Can the mantis be used with revolvers

[@progun45]

Yes but you would need a laser cartridge for each chamber since it will spin.
