Garmin Xero C1 Pro Review and Field Test

The Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph is a game changing device that just made all other consumer chronographs obsolete.

Yea I get this is a puff piece my the cream of the sporting press but in theory it sounds promising. I’ve always been pleased with Garmin products.
It’s brand new so I don’t suspect many have used it yet but anyone else read /watched any reviews.
Price seems in line IF it delivers what’s promised.

Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph

Don't know if it has been mentioned in this thread but the internal battery is not replaceable if and when it goes tango uniform. According to Jordan in a live chat the only option is to buy another unit. Should be able to power it using an external usb battery pack in that case, just like the...

You haven't noticed everyone suddenly trying to dump their labradars?

Anyone know if Garmin xero C1 pro will be classified as ITAR item? Will it be able to be exported outside USA?

You can order it outside the US. It's available in the UK and EU currently.

That funny looking rifle? I hear it’s like 2 or 3 dudes in a shed. No way this amounts anything.

Has anyone figured out a mounting combo other than area 419 they are out of stock so looking for something else that works

There’s an extensive thread already. Tons of info and data.

Garmin Xero C1 Pro chronograph

Made my $8 Amazon case all tactical and stuff because I was bored. Then remembered I 3d print all kinds of stuff, so making a TPU Xero insert for the $30 magpul DAKA small organizer case I just ordered, because I can’t just leave well enough alone. Also printed up a Xero anti-concussion device...

Only if you ship me a euro version of the Schmidt 6-36

After seeing one in action, all I can say is my gently used Magnetospeed V3 will be listed tonight.

I only keep my magnet as a backup, but it may need to go now. I only need it when shooting in the tunnel range.

Ordered from Bass Pro, then they canceled my order. Fuckers.

Have used one for two weeks now. Accurate, portable and pairs to my smartphone. Incredible piece of gear.

Grey ops makes a plate also but it's as simple as a piece of flat aluminum with an arca clamp bolted to it. That's what I'm gonna do

Not sure about ITAR, but I believe any European model gets power neutered.

+1 on the 6-36....

I was wondering if anyone has tested the Garmin on a busy firing line. For example, if the guy on the bench next to me (maybe 4 or 5 feet away) is shooting a big magnum rifle with a brake, will the Garmin pick up his shots too?

Just curious because the LabRadar unit does have that problem.

Rocketvapor · Nov 22, 2023

@6MT
IF an object (bullet, pellet, arrow) from the adjacent lane crosses into the XERO Radar BEAM within about 2-4 yds down range it will likely pick it up.
2 ft off to the side, probably. 3 feet off to the side probably NOT.
Wife and I shared one Xero and it did not pick up other shooters. The space just to the left and right of us filled after the picture was taken.

The big magnum rifle with a brake might knock your Xero over, but not trigger it

6MT · Nov 24, 2023

Thank you. Yeah what kind of rifle doesn't matter, I know. I have found a few others now who have posted that this is not an issue with the Garmin unit. The Garmin being transmitting all of the time instead of being tripped on buy an acoustic trigger is a much better idea.

Now, if I could only find one to buy. They are sold out everywhere up here in Canada.

Can anyone explain what Garmin did so right that LabRadar did so wrong?

They made something that works and isn't the size of a suitcase

Pretty much nailed it. And you don’t need a bunch of specialty shit to make it work with rimfire, subsonics, pistols, air guns, archery, etc…, and spare huge battery packs for the 30 minute battery life of the LabRadar…

Used my Garmin Xero today for the first time. Cant believe how easy and convenient it is to use. Was getting tired of strapping a bayonet on my rifle. Thats what i hated the most about my Magneeto v3, hanging it off the end of the barrel and wondering if it was affecting the harmonics during load development. Dont have to worry about that now and it fits in a small case that i can just throw in the glove box.

LDO416 · Dec 1, 2023

I just got back from the range today, and it was the first time I have used the Garmin Xero C1. It's a home run. Intuitive and simple to use. Set up and tear down takes less than a minute. It addresses every complaint I have about the Labrador. I don't recall the last time I was this happy about a purchase.

The Lab-radar is bulky compared to the Garmin. It doesn't come with a rechargeable battery. If you don't have your rifle in the exact right spot, the Labrador won't pick up the shot. The location of your barrel changes depending on your muzzle device. There is a good video on Youtube which explains the positioning of the barrel relative to the Labrador. With the Garmin you just place it behind the muzzle 5" to the left or right and its ready to go. Lab-radar isn't intuitive to use and requires you to make changes when you move from different size bullets. With the Garmin you just need to start a new string. If there are a lot of people on the range lab-radar gives false readings. You also have to arm it before you shoot, and it oftentimes "times out." I am sure I am missing some of the differences, but the Garmin is very simple and convenient. Great product.
