Laser Ammo has just added a 2011 model to its lineup of laser training pistols based on an AW Custom HX26 Compact Hi-CAPA recoil pistol.
The more you can train with your handgun the better, but bullets are expensive and going to the range takes time. Solution? Laser trainer pistols that allow you to hone your skills at home. Laser Ammo has an extensive catalog of different models, but the company has just added a 2011 as well to meet the demand for this increasingly popular pistol model.
Like Laser Ammo’s other recoiling training guns, they built it by converting an airsoft gun, in the case of the 2011 they used an AW Custom HX26 Compact Hi-CAPA recoil pistol. Powered by green gas, the pistol’s slide recoils when fired. Combined with the full-metal construction, this is about as close as you can get to the feel of firing a real 2011 without gunpowder involved. It’s designed for use with either Smokeless Range or Laser Ammo reactive targets, is available with a red or infrared laser and is adjustable for both windage and elevation so you can ensure that your laser training will translate to shooting your real 2011.
The 2011 laser trainer appears to be optics-ready, but neither Laser Ammo nor AW Custom specify what footprint the mount is. However, the pistol does have an accessory rail and a flared magwell for quicker reloads.
Patrick McMahon, a member of Laser Ammo’s Mil/LE sales team and the head of Laser Ammo’s competition division said this about the new 2011:
After checking various other 2011-style firearms, Laser Ammo chose the HX26 “Match King” specifically, as it was decidedly the best fit for our customer’s needs … The 2011 is a popular gun with competition shooters, as it is red dot ready. The gun delivers an unmatched level of realism when combined with our advanced training solutions. We believe it will exceed the expectations of serious shooters seeking reliable, high-quality training tools and will prove to be the top-tier choice on the market.
The Laser Ammo 2011 training pistol has an MSRP of $440 and is available now.
