M22 Tactical

M22 Tactical is a disabled veteran-owned manufacturer in Grand Rapids, Western Michigan, focused on one mission: getting dry fire training into every AR-15 owner's hands.

Their product—the RedCat dry fire trainer—costs just $19.95 and does one thing exceptionally well: it makes dry fire practice realistic. Unlike other trainers on the market that cost hundreds of dollars and require parts removal, the RedCat installs in under 10 seconds with no disassembly needed.

The RedCat is a small polymer device that locks the hammer back and renders the rifle completely inert. Here's what sets it apart:

• •Realistic safety manipulation - The safety selector engages and disengages during training, just like with live ammunition
• •No bolt racking - Train on multiple targets and pull the trigger repeatedly without resetting the safety
• •Muscle memory development - Repetition with correct technique builds the foundation of proficiency
• •Multiple applications - Use it for home defense drills, competition preparation, tactical training, or casual skill maintenance

The RedCat is injection-molded from ABS plastic—impact resistant, solvent resistant, and built to last. During prototyping, a 3D-printed prototype survived 1,000 uses without failure. The production version is over 100 times stronger and more resistant to petroleum-based solvents, heat, and cold.

Compatibility: AR-15, M-4, M-16, and most AR-10, LR-308, and LAR-10 platforms. Not compatible with newer Sig Sauer ARs, older Colt ARs with sear block modifications, or certain drop-in triggers. M22 recommends verifying fit before first use.

Dry fire training strips away the noise, recoil, and distractions, allowing shooters to focus on critical fundamentals: grip, trigger control, stance, and sight alignment.

Fundamental firearms skills are perishable. They require repetition and correct technique. Live fire is expensive—ammunition costs and range fees add up fast. Dry fire eliminates these barriers.

The math: Short, frequent sessions (10-20 minutes, several times per week) yield better results than occasional range trips. Shooters can practice weapon manipulation, malfunction drills, draw and presentation, target transitions, and scenario-based training all at home.

The RedCat serves double duty:

• •Safe storage - Adds a layer of protection against unauthorized use
• •Retail display - Renders the rifle inert with no outward indication, safe for gun shops
• •Transportation - Alternative to "rack safe" for protecting the action during movement

M22 Tactical operates as a B2B wholesaler with a dealer network across the United States. The company is certified by the U.S. Small Business Administration as both a Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB).
