My personal review of the Mantis X System and the Blackbeard System
Have you tried the MantisX systems before? Have you also enjoyed putting a laser sight on your firearm? Ever hoped that you could have both devices on your firearm without the need or having to remove the mantis system to install the laser back on? This is where TOR-X enters the chat.
I have had the pleasure or testing out the TOR-X system and it lives up to its name. It merges the mantis system with Steiner’s laser sights. TOR-X comes with a green laser sight. It still connects to your mantis app the same way as before, it even changes the display of the app from red to blue which is a nice little touch.
You will continue to receive the instant feedback on your trigger manipulation and firearm handling. It is just like have an instructor at your side while you’re either dry firing at home or live firing at the range. The real estate that the unit takes up on your firearm is the same as a weapon light. It is not crazy heavy or anything like that. If you’re not paying attention you would not even know that the device attached to the firearm is both a laser and a sophisticated training system all in one.
The only small suggestion that I can come up with is, if the green laser flashed whenever you had a great trigger press on the mantis app. So not only would we get the ding on the app but we would see the laser flash to confirm it was a great or excellent trigger press.

Meet The Steiner TOR-X with MantisX Integration
The TOR-X is the sublime marriage of the military-grade Steiner laser and the power of the MantisX. The MantisX hardware is now integrated inside a Steiner laser.
The TOR-X is a compact laser system designed to mount on most pistols equipped with a Picatinny or Weaver rail in front of the trigger guard. Built tough with a <5 mW green laser housed in durable aluminum, it's resistant to water and built to withstand tough conditions on the range or in the field. You can adjust the windage and elevation for precise point of impact. It's designed for ambidextrous use, accommodating both left- and right-handed shooters, and features adjustable laser power levels with an Auto-On function for instant readiness.
Beyond its laser aiming capabilities, the TOR-X integrates MantisX technology. The sensor tracks your performance in real-time, collecting thousands of data points per second. Unlike traditional dry fire laser systems, the system uses an advanced sensor to detect and analyze the movement and orientation of your firearm during dry fire and live fire sessions. It connects via Bluetooth to any IOS or Android device, and provides feedback and coaching on every shot. It’s comprehensive data provide insights into your movement patterns, management of recoil, holster draw speed, grip, trigger pull, and more.
By combining a laser sight with sophisticated training features, the TOR-X simplifies and improves shooting practice, making it accessible anytime, anywhere.

Guess what that same technology is now for available for your AR-10.
