OK, I admit, I am a better rifle shot than I am a pistol shot by a good margin. I need to get better at that pistol thing. I am looking for some at-home based system for training. I can't discharge a firearm at home for a variety of good reasons. Like any sport, there is no substitute for practice. The idea is to practice daily. I plan to visit the range weekly, in part for validating how well my training works. So far I have considered the following:
Airsoft pistol - never shot one, but heard that some people used it very successfully for training.
"Mantis X", seems like a device for dry fire practice + phone app that tells you what you are doing wrong. That part seems quite useful. Not sure how well that actually works, though.

Laserlyte "Laser training cartridges". Looks like I will need a training system in addition to the gadget itself. Any good books or sources for drill sets? Unsure how I can score myself on the drill and detect what errors I am making.
The SIRT training pistol seems fine. I like the safety of using a dedicated tool instead of a real firearm a lot. I am unsure where can I get the "training system", though. Having the tool without the training system seems not terribly useful.

This "system" looks gimmicky and sounds a lot like a late night infomercial, I am including for completeness sake:

Have you tried any of the above, or may be some other system that worked for you? I am looking for a system that's essentially based on dry firing the gun, detecting the problems, fixing them and building muscle memory/making shooting an automatic skill.
