Clay1 Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Has anyone tried one of these inexpensive lasers for trigger controll training? I have seen these for $80 and didn't know if this was a great deal or $80 down the drain.

Gun Geek Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 About $55 down the drain. I use one of these very cheap ($24.99) lasers and it works great. It doesn't handle being on the gun during live fire very (the zero wanders) but for dry fire it is fantastic. http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/...leitemid=701092 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heath Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I've seen a bunch of these on ebay for $20-30. In fact, it's hard not to see them on ebay. I normally have to add "-laser" to any search for gun parts. Most of them are NCStar laser units on some kind of mount. The laser unit itself is adjustable for windage and elevation. Probably not a bad deal for $20, but $80 seems unreasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay1 Posted July 1, 2005 Author Share Posted July 1, 2005 The particular laser that I mentioned has a quick detachable mount. It mounts like a Surefire X200 or a Streamlight M3X etc. Simple on and off and I would be willing to pay more for that. Laserlyte says that they are the largest US purchaser of laser diodes so their prices are better than many. You can get the one that isn't easy on and off for much less.

EricW Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Clay, My skills are wanting at best, but my gut instinct says that you're better off learning to read your sights. It's a skill you will HAVE to have sooner or later. Might as well make it sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay1 Posted July 1, 2005 Author Share Posted July 1, 2005 Bluntly I think that I will be able to shoot faster without the laser. Try and find a little red dot that is bouncing around isn't what I think will be tacticle or practical. I want one to see how my gun moves during the trigger pulling cycle. I have no dreams of mall ninja syndrome. I would like to run a low light course with one just for fun and see if my perception is correct though. It's just a toy to play with. Besides I need something to buy that is gun related and I can't think of anything else to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Stoeger Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Rick, I honestly don't see how a laser will help all that much. You can get the same thing watching the sights. You could also try the dime thing that guys always talk about on glock talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Spend $5 on a el-cheapo laser pointer. You can even get some that will fit down the barrel. Tape it to your slide and practice like that. It's worth $5, it's not worth $50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay1 Posted July 1, 2005 Author Share Posted July 1, 2005 I got the idea from Matt Burkett's latest DVD #7 where he and Kevin are using the laser indoors to work on movement and a few other drills. Thanks for the thoughts guys. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuildSF4 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Every once in a while ebay has a quick? detach laser for about $25- $30. Shred is right about the laser pointers though if you are checking movement etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaJoe Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Spend $5 on a el-cheapo laser pointer. You can even get some that will fit down the barrel. Tape it to your slide and practice like that. It's worth $5, it's not worth $50. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's what I did until the tape got weak and the thing went flying down the hallway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
