I did a search and didn't find anything recent specifically about laser sights on handguns. I'm sure if I missed something somebody will tell me
I'm "elderly" and near-sighted and getting the sights lined up on target quickly has become more difficult. I'm a convert to lasers. I have CT green lasers on my LCRX .327 and my Glock 42. One thing that helped greatly with that decision was two great sales at Midway.
I can get on a hand-sized target at 25 feet quickly with the laser sight. I can get back on target for followup shots quickly. I don't have to change anything about how I grip or present my gun. I pocket carry most of the time, and the lasers do not interfere with that. I like the feel of the CT grip on the LCRX.
One complaint I have seen about lasers is that a person could become too reliant on the laser and then the laser fail just when it's needed. I do still practice without the laser. I also practice point shooting without the laser or the iron sights.
I did a side-by-side comparison with a gun that has a CT red laser. The greens really do show up better in daylight.
So, what are your experiences with laser sights on handguns?
