"lasers"

[exxcomunicado]

Hey folks...what do you guys think about lasers...

A very close-range back-up aiming "aid" but no substitute for proper marksmanship skills.

Only good for terrorizing the cat, they are a fad that you will quickly grow away from.
My Opinion.

 

[HansGruber]

They have their uses on a defensive handgun; mainly when forced to use unconventional shooting positions, such as on your back, shooting over your head...etc.

Fad they ain’t; they are used by very serious, professional shooters, every day.

 

[Peglegjoe]

A good backup to irons, and as noted above they are excellent for non-standard shooting positions.

Or, are you expecting to have time to take a Weaver stance and get a traditional sight picture during a surprise encounter when your life depends on it?

Hans put it best. If you were to find yourself in a shooting situation where you were on the ground or in a one handed situation or needing to fire or aim fast it could or would be beneficial. Nothing wrong with it however I would train with it. Shoot with it one handed and run some drills with it.

 

[Talyn]

If not used properly they can expose your presence & position, like a misused weapons light.

Bounce the light off a disco ball and enjoy! This way it gives the illusion that there are more peeps!

A laser is great for showing you how much your hands shake while aiming. I had lasers on a Colt 1911 and a S&W revolver and didn't like them.
