PMCI - September 2021
It's been another hard slog for the PMCI crew this time, as curbs on international travel continue to curb our ability to actually get together but as usual, Bill and Trampas have pulled yet another great issue out of the (drag!) bag - and it's a very special one that headlines with a "Dream Rifle Build" that replicates the iconic Ruger Mini 14 as used by "Hannibal and the Team"... We do love it when a plan comes together! We're also joined again by Jim W, who brings a deep-dive insight into the world of profiling and we look in detail at what some of our favourite manufacturers have been up to, landing our test reports in full! All in all, it may have taken just a bit more time, and some serious "logistics juggling" to get this issue together but we hope you'll agree it's been worth the wait!

products. Enter the new Mantis X2, X3, X7 and the flagship, Elite
X10 Mantis series. While the lower series are devoted to specific
platforms and more limited abilities, the fully loaded Elite X10 is
designed to work during both dry practice and live fire using the
handgun, rifle, shotgun, airsoft / 6 mm and even bow platform. The
Bluetooth enabled transmitter is much smaller than the original X
design with overall dimensions of the sensor unit are 1.3”L x 1”W
x 0.75” H and takes up virtually no room on the gun’s accessory
rail. This allows for zero need for adjustment to standard grip and
presentation. Once the power button is pressed on the sensor, it
turns green. This indicates its ready to begin feeding information
to a free downloaded app from the device via Bluetooth. It can be
displayed on your phone or tablet once paired.
Wait, what about guns without rails?? The Mantis X10 device
comes with a small section of rail called a Universal MagRail
adapter that can attach to the magazine’s base pad. Once this is
installed, Mantis X10 can be mounted as usual. Additionally, for
rifles or shotguns without rails, there is BR7 Barrel Mount Picatinny
Rail that allows it to be tightened to the barrel to provide the same
rail option as factory equipped long guns. The results seen with this
method for both handguns and long guns have been just as good
as a traditional factory under the barrel accessory rail.
Like the original, the Mantis system assigns you a score
between 0 and 100 for each shot. (Spoiler alert: Your first shots
using this system have a good chance of not scoring as high as your
