I've seen people at the range with lasers. Actually, I've seen the

dancing all over the target, 'cause
the laser gets used for only a few seconds and then never brightens
our day again.

It is a good training tool and you don't even need to load the gun or
go to the range. ;-)
I am not sure how good they are in a serious social situation tho. I
have a laser for my KP90 but I took it off and put it away. It was
just a distraction.


Yeah, a couple of my handguns have lasers on them. Initially I tried
the lasers but never use them now. Batteries are probably dead.


I have a pretty expensive laser device for lining up scopes and
barrels*, but I don't know why I'd want a laser pointer permanently or
semi-permanently mounted on a handgun. If you don't practice enough and
can't hit a human-sized target with a handgun in or near the center of
body mass between a couple of feet away and say 50 feet, you probably
shouldn't be depending on a handgun.

I tend to agree. The only case I have seen that makes sense is if you
were firing from cover and could not get a decent sight picture but as
you say, that is such a remote thing it is not worth buying batteries
for.
The training mode on the laserlyte does look interesting tho.
I have a CO2 version of my P90 that seems to be a decent practice gun
and I have a safe place out back to use it.
I am still working my way through a big box of cylinders I bought a
while ago for around 30 cents each. I am not sure how many shots you
get but I am usually tired of shooting before it gives out.
