As a former law enforcement officer and CCW permit holder for many decades, when I first saw this system in action I knew it was the right choice and as a CCW Trainer i think it is invaluable to teaching students, to identify and correct their mistakes, teaches grip, sight picture, control and so much more and it records it so you can go back in your history and actually see what you need to work on or how you have improved
