Yeah, my intentions with a laser were not make me shoot better...i've got lots of expeirence shooting through iron sights, and I shoot just fine. I just thought that for the particular model that i'm going to carry, a J model snubby, and being only accurate up to 7yds, that a laser might help with that in some instances, like what Fed wif a sig and P95 mentioned...low light conditions and such. I just wanted to get a feel of what most of you guys thought of them....tool? or luxery item. After reading what you guys posted about them, I like the idea of it being a tool.

I have many reasons for liking lasers, but this well written article covers most of my reasons and more better than I ever could.

BTW this is great site for both men and women shooters, especially newbies.

I don't have lasers on any of mine, but there's a guy that shoots at the range all the time... he has laser grips on his Kimber, and I have to laugh every time I watch him shoot. The little red dot shakes violently on the target. He has the most nervous hands I've ever seen. He's a terrible shot, too. Apparently laser sights can't put in what God left out.

The only thing I've not seen noted in this thread is that a laser - just like a flashlight - gives some info to the BG. Not much mind you... but some. If you're going to have it on your gun, qualify (or practice regularly) with it. Shoot a course of fire with it, without it, with it on command. Watch your basic marksmanship. Just because the magic red dot is there doesn't mean that's where your bullet is going. I've seen some really great shooters lose all semblance of trigger control just because of that red dot.

My $0.02 worth... and probably not worth that.

I am pro laser & especially for folks with various eye related problems or bi & tri focals. The only thing I don't like about them is the price.
They are also very helpful for shooters with cross dominance problems.

Really? I happen to have that very problem... always forces me to close one eye to shoot, which isn't the best idea (lowers tactical awareness). What experiences have you had?
