beretta 92fs lazor sight

Lasers seem really cool until you actually get one. All they are good for is seeing how unsteady you are. I have a cheap Tasco for my Inox 92. Promptly removed it. Try a cheap laser first, if you love it go ahead and spend the several hundred needed for a laser max or wilcox unit. A tactical light is better investment, even better is mags/ammo/holster, even better is another gun.
I am not even going to go into the pros/cons of lasers. I will let others do that.

I have the LaserMax on my Glock 23. I paid about 330 for it. I like it. While I'm not sure if I were to flip it on if I were in an actual gunfight, it's a lot of fun at the range. I'd also think it'd be a good intimidation factor for someone you know you didn't want to shoot, but just wanted to scare the bejeezus out of.
I disagree. Do not waste your money on a cheap laser site. I went that route first, and wish I had never wasted the money. I don't know about laser max.(is it the one that replaces the guide rod?) I have seen the crimson trace grips, and they look good on a 1911 model. I can't remember who makes mine, but it bolts on under the front of the gun, and is the first one I bought over 200 bucks, and actually holds zero. The first 3 or 4 cheapies either stopped working, or would bounce around after each shot.
I have never used it in other than target shooting, to be honest, I have never had to use a gun period. So I don't know if it is better or worse or does nothing for you. I like it because if I don't get a chance to use the sights, I still know where I am going to hit, and muscle memory for my point and shoot. If nothing else, it is a good check to see if you know where your gun points. Quick draw and then flick on the laser to see where you actually would have hit.

Whats up conkill!
Welcome, I'm laughing right now, great to see ya. Yah get one! I've posted here before about some of the legal responsibilities, but all in all, you should own at least one, one time in your collection. They are fun to "play" with, but wouldn't carry one when I need to be serious.
My experience is, you get what you pay for. Cheap ones (under $100) are big and bulky and will get banged around more, middle of the roads, maybe over $200, close to $300 are pretty nice and are smaller, I'd say worth getting. But... if $200-$300 is in your budget, is $500? I think the Lazermax's and grip mounted lasers are nice, and you won't need to spend any more money on new holsters.
But my mind keeps coming back to this,
$500 = a sweet laser, or... another gun?
$100 = a laser to play with... and $400 left over for another gun.

If I were putting a laser sight on a handgun, it would be only one: the Crimson Trace. I was involved three years ago with testing several lasers. The Crimson Trace was, for me and the other shooters, by far, the best. The laser comes out of the top of the front of the right grip, and is very visible at various defense distances, bright sun or dark.
We fired approx 10,000 rounds of 9mm through two Beretta 92FS pistols, without a glitch to the Crimson Trace.
In my opinion, and the opinions of the other testers, the Crimson Trace was best. Plus, you have no bulky, awkward apparatus on the gun, nor do you have to buy new holsters for the handguns.
They're about 300$$, depending on which gun you put them on. FWIW. J.B.
