Train using your sights or optics without a visible laser to follow. This 9mm cartridge produces invisible IR pulses detected by an IR-compatible electronic target or simulator. Requires a compatible Smart DryFireMag®, Barrel Safety Pipe System, and IR-compatible feedback device, sold separately.
Add invisible laser feedback to your compatible Smart DryFireMag® setup. The Smart SureStrike™ Infrared 9mm Optic Laser Cartridge sends an IR pulse with each trigger press for detection by an IR-compatible electronic target or simulator. Use it as a replacement cartridge or to add IR laser training to a compatible Smart Mag Only setup.
This is a 9mm cartridge. Other supported calibers require the correct adapter. Not compatible with .22-caliber or .380 pistols.
This is a cartridge purchase, not a complete laser training system. Laser operation requires a compatible Smart DryFireMag® and the required Barrel Safety Pipe System. It does not work with a Standard DryFireMag® or as a standalone firing-pin-activated laser cartridge.
Infrared is invisible. An IR-compatible electronic target or simulator is required for shot feedback. Paper, magnetic, and reflective targets alone cannot display an IR shot.
With no visible laser spot to follow, IR training keeps your attention on your sight picture or optic. Your compatible target or simulator detects the shot and provides feedback. This makes IR a useful option for practicing sight-focused drills, whether you are a recreational shooter, instructor, or professional.
The Smart optic cartridge works with the Smart DryFireMag® rather than relying on a firing-pin strike. Select the Smart magazine for your exact pistol model, then confirm laser-use compatibility and the required safety pipe components before ordering.
This is a 9mm laser cartridge. Use in supported calibers other than 9mm requires the correct caliber adapter ring or kit and a Smart DryFireMag® compatible with your exact pistol. Not compatible with .22-caliber or .380 pistols. An adapter does not make an incompatible pistol compatible. Follow the caliber and component requirements on your specific Smart DryFireMag® product page.
Select the safety pipe and any extension for your barrel length. These components are sold separately from this cartridge.
Laser Ammo lists the following specifications for its SureStrike™ infrared laser:
The Smart cartridge features a stainless steel body, a glass laser lens, and the optic cap designed for use with Smart DryFireMag®.
Leave the battery pack’s shrink wrap in place during installation. The laser cartridge uses a separate battery pack from the rechargeable battery in the Smart DryFireMag®.
Not included: Smart DryFireMag®, Barrel Safety Pipe System, caliber adapters, electronic targets, or simulator.
Reflective targets are not included with the IR cartridge.
Watch Laser Ammo’s battery-installation demonstration. For your Smart optic cartridge, follow the supplied cartridge instructions and keep the battery pack’s shrink wrap intact.
Red: See a visible laser pulse on a physical target; also works with compatible electronic targets and simulators.
Infrared: No visible pulse to follow; requires an IR-compatible electronic target or simulator for shot feedback. Check the target or simulator’s laser compatibility before purchasing.
Watch our comparison video to see the difference between visible red and invisible infrared feedback, and how target requirements affect your training setup.
Use the adapter specified for your compatible pistol and caliber. Rings and kits have different contents; check the individual listing before buying. Available adapter rings include 10mm, .357 SIG, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and .45 GAP. Adapter kits are also available for supported 10mm, .357 SIG, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP setups.
Choose the required safety pipe components for your barrel length. Compact and Short kits, the Long Safety Pipe, and the Safety Pipe Extension are available separately. Follow the safety pipe instructions and your model’s setup requirements.
The 9mm Digital Boresight Back Cap is an optional accessory listed for the visible red SureStrike™ cartridge. It converts the cartridge to a separate boresighting configuration. It is not the Smart optic cap used for Smart DryFireMag® laser training. If you need a replacement Smart optic cap, contact Product Support to confirm the correct component.
Replacement laser cartridge battery packs are linked above. For shot feedback and drills, use the Electronic Targets and Simulators buttons to choose equipment compatible with your cartridge’s Red or IR output.
Use the Smart DryFireMag® instructions for your model and the supplied cartridge user guide for setup.
Unload your firearm and remove all live ammunition from the training area. Follow your firearm, Smart DryFireMag®, and cartridge instructions. Install the required Barrel Safety Pipe System as directed before laser training, and remove all training components before returning the firearm to live use.
