laserlyte

If you intend on using it for self defense I would pass. It will be tough to activate and holsters might be a problem. If you do want a laser for SD, consider a Crimson Trace. The laser is activated when you grip the gun so there is no buttons to fool with. However, if you just want a laser for the range and dry firing I'm sure it would be fine.
 
Most holsters would still work. The on / off button is right above the trigger, where if you place your extended trigger finger (at rest), it is conveniently placed. Plus, you can use the same finger to block the beam temporarily. They are shipping them for the LC9 also, which I am looking to get asap. Priced much better than others.
 
The long and the short of it as best I know.

Red is a harder colour to see in daylight. Not sure how well that will work for practice in daylight but range may be short enough to be ok.

Green uses a lot more power but you can see it much better.

Red works in the dark, but practice in the daylight is harder.

I have the green in a larger version of that, great for the HD but uses batteries fast. I take it off to target shoot with and then l back on and test shot to ensure it is shooting where it should before I go home.

I have the Genesis rechargeable I use for target practice (green). I can get two range session out of a charge (important as the batteries will only re-charge so many times)

I have no issues with the HD or even CC with the battery one. I check it regularly when moving the gun around to be sure it will turn on and I bore sight it to do a rough check of the zero.

I also have night sights as backup (old eyes).

These are great tools, subject to failure so you can plan on it as a primary but be sure you can shoot backup with the iron sights. Needs to be checked and good batteries, don't skimp.
 
The only reason I would want a laser is for low light conditions, I know how to use the standard sights in daylight. You can keep the battery burning green lasers.
