Does anyone have experience using this .45acp trainer cartridge in the cylinder of a colt/clone single action army .45LC revolver with its fixed firing pin?

Walter, I can only tell you I use it in an H&K; 45C and a S&W; 945. It works fine in both. I have talked with the manufacturer about similar issues and they were very helpful.

I do not, however there is a difference between the 45 acp and th 223 cartridge, that would be useful if they were built the same way. The 45 acp cartridge laser will stay lit as long as the button in the back is pressed. The 223 only flashes the light when pressed and held, not that this feature helps you with the 45 colt.

Hi Julie,You'll need a Laser cartridge in the caliber of your weapon. Then lots of practice...If you don't have the LaserLyte Laser Trainer Target, I suggest you buy it first before trying the much harder model you asked about. It has twice the size target and you have no time restriction on shooting...Hope this helped...John

I'm using this in three different pistols without issues, one has a custom barrel "Storm Lake" with a tight chamber. You may need to remove the barrel and then insert it. Try a little lube on the "O" rings

after pouring several hundred using the precision mold I found out yoy shouldnt fire lead bullets through a glock. I did buy a lube a sizer and love it for 45 acp.

I tried it on a .50 cal cartridge and as stated in the other comments it will ream the inside neck but not the outside. The primer pocket cleaner and reamer are also too small for a .50 It will do anything up to .45

I pull the Take down pin out, remove the barrel, insert the laser trainer, then reassemble, conduct my training, and disassemble to remove it. I know this seems like a pain (believe me, I know) but it allows you to save $$ on ammo and still get much needed training with a firearm that has extremely low profile sights; where the user needs to be well trained to rapidly acquire a fairly accurate point-and-shoot muscle memory for defensive employment. Plus, let's face it, without gloves, this is a fairly uncomfortable pistol to shoot-the grips feel like sandpaper, the gun moves a lot in your hand no matter what grip style you employ to hold it, and recoil suppression is nonexistent. As a result, people don't train a lot live-fire with the P3AT. Disassembly is an inconvenience to use the LaserLyte trainer but in the end it provides quality time and training with a pistol that most won't endure at the range. (as a side note-the disassembly also ensures that no live rounds are present in the firearm and prevents live ammo from accidentally being chambered during practice)

I have only used on a Thompson Contender pistol with 357 Mag, 10MM and 45 Super barrels. The one on the 10MM seemed to have a problem by the internal mirror would come loose. I'd suggest you contact BSA and other Red-Dot makers and get feed back. From what I heard air guns have different dynamics than rifles & pistols and you may have unknown dynamics with a bow. As a word of warning, I had problems with a replacement from BSA and had to return a new replacement, rec'd an incomplete replacement and ended up having to pay shipping twice.

Put a drop of oil on the tip of the cartridge. Insert into the gun(?) then tighten the screw until it just touches the cartridge (you will feel the resistance). Then turn the screw hard an don't stop turning until its fully seated. I get e little hiss momentarily but it seats just find. I've used probably 30 of my 100 cartridges with no problems. Good value and performs great in my CO2 BB pistol. Hope this helps...AO

Are you putting a drop of gun oil on the co2 cartridge as suggested in the owners manual? 2nd does this usually happen right after you putas new ccartridge in? Mine does for some reason. I shoot emptying twice after putting in a new cartridge. That seems to help. It sounds stupid but make sure the pellets aren't in backwards.

Victor it uses the Laser-lyte LT PRO. I don't think you can use the cartridge type trainer.

I use this training cartridge with Glock 19 Gen3. Made about 3000 shots so far. After the first thousand had to replace the rubber button on the rear side. Except that small issue the device works great and really helps me to improve my accuracy. I also used miles gear in service but that's something different.

I realize this question is ten months old, but the answer is no. You need the "universal" trainer for those blue pistols. The trainer is longer and red and fits in the barrel area.

I'm not sure. I do know they are recommended by the manufacturer only for use in full size (5 inch barrel) 1911s. However, I put one on my Colt XSE Commander and it runs fine. You could inquire with Wilson Combat via email. They know everything there is to know about 1911s.

I didn't have this problem. I think you have to slam the cartridge in firmly and get it into the handle quickly. I hope this helps, but your problem may be with a defective pistol. Perhaps you should try the manufacturer.

I would email the company , but I have used it with a 9mm, 40, 45, 380, and 35...works great....

I have mine mounted on a full size Charles Daly 1911, but going off the measurements of a Colt Officers Model, I am quite certain it would work. I've been 100% pleased with mine, I think you'll like it.

Yea,i believe i will... but It only works with a single stack magazine ... And the .40 cal mag was a tad snug at first so I doubt a .45 single stack would work. It does work like a champ though for my .40 cal and would recommend it to everyone with a single stack.I wished I had also bought one that does boh single and double stack too 'cause my buddy wanted to use it on a rental but I wouldnt fit. Get one.. I think I will work for your shield..at the price you can afford to buy a single stack and a double stack and still cost less than a single uplula. Plus you can reload without having to use a table or surface like the uplula..and can load standing or lying down... If you want ...
