laser vs. red dot sights

I can see how laser sights would be very valuable for home defense, where you may be in a situation that prevents you from getting into the ideal stance/sighting position. Plus, Crimson Trace grips are such a beautifully unobtrusive solution. However, at the range, it seems as if the little red dot bouncing all over the target would be distracting. I know you can get used to anything; and I'm not saying that, with practice, a laser wouldn't tighten your groups. However, for a range gun, wouldn't a red dot sight be the better choice? I have no experience with either system, so please give all opinions, pro and con.
 
When I am at the range I dont use either on a handgun. Use laser for those bad situations you hope you are never in. As far as a red dot goes the only people I know who use them are competition shooters. I like to use the stock sights myself at the range.
 
I have a red dot on my Kadet. Really makes it much easier to hit my target, and rapidly. I can keep both eyes open too and still focus on what I'm trying to hit.

Lasers are pretty much useless at the range though. More suited for SD purposes.
 
"Really makes it much easier to hit my target, and rapidly."

Yep. I'd say that is the general train of consensus.
