Actually, I've seen the spot of light dancing around the target. It's not like on the TV where the little spot appears and holds nice and steady. I think it must be embarassing for the owner to know his spot of light is 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 have the device because I often swap around my various scopes and red dots on my various rifles.  I have a red dot on my .22LR targetpistol, and I just leave it on there. No scope or red dot on my revolver. I've lost a lot of interest in shooting. The original reason I got a concealed carry permit was at the advice of a lawyer friend when I first opened the guitar shop and carried a lot of cash on me everyday. I got the permit, joined a gun club and started practicing two or three days a week but after a while it got really boring shooting holes in paper targets. I rarely carry anymore and keep the handguns and rifles in a safe or under lock ... except one. Depending on where we are going I sometimes take it with me but most of the time it's in the house. |
