The laser training cartridges are a major assist to dryfire training. Not only do they add an extra layer of safety towards preventing accidental discharges; but the laser shows actual impact as well as any bad habits (a little swipe across the target from sympathetic squeeze for example).
And to add to what John said, safe direction and what’s beyond your safe direction are incredibly important in dryfire practice. Old-style tube TVs as small as 32” will stop 7.62x39 FMJ out of a 16” barrel reliably and make great backstops. You can even turn on the TV and aim at things on the screen. Some of the larger flat screens will stop pistol calibers or slow them down enough to reduce damage as well. They also sell small kevlar dryfire targets for a reasonable price.
