Laser on pistol with grooved mounting rail

I'd like to mount a laser sight on my SW99. This pistol has a mounting rail molded into the frame (as do HK USPs, Walther P99s, S&W Sigmas, Glocks, etc. - though not all the same). I haven't come across any that specifically say they will work on the SW99 (which, I believe, has a standard weaver rail). This seems like it would be a lot stronger than the trigger guard mounts that are more common. I'm looking for a low-medium priced laser sight (I'm thinking $75-$150 or so). Any suggestions?

And lets not make this another tread debating whether or not laser sights are a good idea - that' already happening on another thread. I want to try one for myself on this pistol - mostly just for fun.

Thanks for the links. I had recently looked at both of these. I'm hoping for comments from someone who has used a rail-mounted laser sight (especially on an SW99). I'd like to know how solidly they install, if they hold zero, if you can use them in daylight, if the wired pressure switch works well, etc.

I have a Beamshot laser along with the mount for my USP which has the accessory rail under the barrel. The mount attaches firmly, and the laser holds zero as long as it's installed. The mount has to be taken apart to get it off the gun, however, so that messes up the zero setting of the laser.

Since my USP is my home defense pistol, I figure it will be used in low light and the Beamshot 1000 Super is more than good in that scenario. I took it out in bright sunlight to zero the laser, and the dot is just barely visible at 10 yds. I could not see it at 15 yds in the daylight. Beamshot also has other models that are better for use in the daylight. The pressure switch is a little awkward, but you can replace it with an on/off switch if you like.
 
I've got the Beamshot on a Beretta 92 on a weaver rail, thousands of rounds, solid as a rock. Use it in weekly steel plate speed matches. Had bad luck with the Aimpoint and sent it back.
