I like them, I've had a set of them on my CCO for about 8 months now. I walk out the door to go to work between 1:00 and 2:00AM every morning. To me that laser is a whole lot faster and easier than night sights in the dark. I've had 2 other 1911's with them in the past, I'm pretty much sold on them. Mike

i have some for my Glock 20 and love them. they are great for practicing. i wouldn't rely on them because batteries do die but in a self defense situation i feel they would put a person at a greater advantage.

I have them and the only time I put them on, is at the range. I use them to see which bad habits I need to work on. I do not use them for carry.

Personally have not seen need for myself (yet). Have a set of front activated on a G19 for wife to play with. See no major disadvantage, does not change grip much, has on/off switch if you want it off. Not having one because battery might be dead is no real issue since you still have your regular sights as well as the laser when battery is good..

They work for some folks, but two things to consider: lots of people find themselves "chasing the dot" instead of focusing on the threat. Tritium night sights let you focus on the front sight, and 2: lights draw bullets like a democrat to a tax increase..whether it's lasers or flashlights.

From what I've seen at the local outdoor range, the lasers that could be readily seen on the targets, amplified the "geezer shake" to the point of distraction. I don't want one myself (don't need the bad guy to see how bad I'm shaking
 ) cause it's distracting. It may be different under duress but I think the night sight on a silhouette is better for me.Now at home. The Mossberg don't need no stinkin' sights...  Personally, the best use I've found for a laser sight here is off the piece and used to exercise my dogs. They love to chase the dot.  /s

They don't work for left handed folks either. I had a set and liked them for the cool factor but that is about it. Very hard to use if your left handed though...got rid of em and working on my shooting instead or using them as a crutch...
