There is a very well written article on choosing the correct laser for use on a duty weapon. Check it out here:

How many of you have added a laser to your pistol?

Do you like it and would you recommend it?

What brand are you using and what did it cost?

I'm not a big fan of lasers. I feel that one can get used to looking for the dot instead of at the sights. If the beam isn't on the target, you could loose valuable time (a.) trying to find the dot (b.) wondering why it isn't on.

Is it malfunctioning? Are the batteries dead? Is my aim off that bad? Did I even turn it on? Then you have to seek a sight picture. You have precious little time in a gunfight as it is.

I do believe they have value in training, specifically dry-fire, where you can see where the bullet would have hit if you had actually fired.

In the Defensive Handgun course I recently wrote about elsewhere on the forum, we got to play with a 1911 equipped with a laser after dark.

I can now see a very limited use for lasers, firing in low light and from awkward positions behind cover. This might have use in a proactive encounter, but most uses of a handgun are defensive and over very quickly.

Myself, I'm still not sold on them.
