There’s no substitute for live-fire training. If that’s the only training you do, though, you’re leaving a ton of progress on the table.
Dry fire training is key! Unfortunately, it’s always been an exercise in monotony.
Dry fire simulators like the Ace Virtual Shooting Sig Experience don’t just spice it up, they turn dry fire training into a genuinely exciting hobby!

Ace Virtual Shooting launched the Sig Experience on the heels of the Staccato simulator and Ace’s original handset.
You can get handsets modeled after the Sig Sauer P320 and P365. They’re true to size, weigh the same as the real thing, and have the exact same control layout to get you quality, transferable reps.
Training includes instruction on shooting fundamentals, drills, and complex courses of fire where you have to move, shoot, and think your way through.
You can even customize the pistols and optics you use in the VR environment to match what you carry in real life (or just wish you did).
There's even an ambidextrous OWB holster that accommodates the Meta handset so you can practice your draw stroke.
The system works with Meta Quest headsets to create an immersive virtual reality experience. Take on challenging courses of fire in 360-degree environments, then compare your scores with other shooters on the global leaderboard.
“The realism of the Ace Virtual Shooting environment is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced,” Max Michel, Team SIG captain and world champion professional shooter, said. “It’s incredibly fun and parallels the live fire drills I shoot with my Sig P320MAX when I am training. Ace VR is the closest thing to live fire training, and I recommend it to anyone looking to hone their skills or maintain their edge.”
Ace Virtual Shooting lists an MSRP of $199 for each Sig Experience handset. You’ll also need an Ace Club Membership ($14 per month for an annual subscription, or $19 for a month-to-month plan) and a Meta Quest headset.
