Why Laser Sights?

Laser sights have many advantages for training and shooting.  Using a laser sight for training allows you to see where you are aiming and where your shot hit on target.  Using a laser sight for shooting allows you to “point and shoot”.  In addition, there is the intimidation factor of a laser pointing at the home intruder’s chest.
Using laser sights during shooting training is extremely helpful to see what mistakes are being made.  The laser dot allows you and your instructor to view where you are aiming and where your shot hits.  If you aimed high or low you might be anticipating the shot by raising or lowering the gun.  If you are pulling the shot to the left or right you may need to adjust your grip or trigger pull.  Using a laser sight during training will help you become a more proficient shooter, you perform like you train.

The major advantage to a laser sight is the ability to “point and shoot”.  With a laser sight you don’t have to close one eye, line up the front and rear sight, make sure there is an equal gap between the sights, and check the height of the front and rear sights.  You simply put the dot where you want it and shoot.  Having to taken away the need to bring your firearm up to your line of sight you now can shoot from the hip or close to your chest.  In a quick draw situation or close quarters this could be helpful.  In a situation where you have to shoot someone keeping the task as simple as possible is important and this is what a laser sight does for you.

Now that you’ve decided you need a laser sight for your gun.   You need to decide what kind works best for your needs is it a grip laser sight, internal or guide rod laser sight, a rail mount laser sight, and do you need a red or green laser sight.
