Introduction
Starting April 14, 2026, Axon VR training will require mandatory firmware updates for supported VR headsets and controllers. When launching training after this date, you may be prompted to complete required updates before training can continue. Make sure your devices are connected to Wi-Fi to complete the update process. For more information how to update firmware, see Update firmware for VR Controllers and the FAQ How do I check or update the headset firmware?.
The Handgun VR Controller (VR19H) is a firmware-updatable LED controller used in conjunction with a virtual reality (VR) headset. Manufactured by Axon Enterprise, Inc., this VR Controller is a dedicated training device that replicates a typical field use handgun.
Using a proprietary 2.4 GHz protocol, advanced IR LED Constellation tracking technology provides accurate three-dimensional physiology of the VR Controller for inside-out tracking of objects within a virtual reality environment. It provides continuous VR Controller-to-headset data exchange, letting you interact in a virtual world with the device mimicking the standard actions of drawing and firing a field weapon. This creates a true-to-life training experience without the use of live weapons and ammunition.
Health and safety warnings
This Handgun VR Controller is only for use in virtual reality (VR) training environments. It will neither accept nor fire live ammunition like a duty weapon.
