All - For Christmas this year, my wife and I ordered from Midway a LaserLyte training system with the target (Product #: 116718, LaserLyte #: TLB-1), the trainer (Product #: 540808, LaserLyte #: LT-1) and 9mm insert (Product #: 510737, LaserLyte #: LT-9 ). I don't know if any of you have any experience with this system, but we have been using it non-stop with my Sig 1911, P226 and her Rugger 22/45.
It is a GREAT training aid for pistols. Same benefits as dry firing, only with target feedback. System will not help you for follow up shots, but definitely a great tool for trigger control, sight alignment/picture and IA drills. It has improved my wife's confidence and kept me from spending $$ getting her basics down. There were some iffy reviews about durability of the 9mm insert, but I have shot it about 200 times with no reliability issues. Laser shot is a bit off from my sights, but shot groups are still consistent.
I plan on trying it out with some of my long guns later in the month and will give you some feedback with how it works. My guess would be it will not be as great with the rifles as the pistols, but will let you know.
