Why lasers?

[MedSpec65]

I have CT LG401's on my Kimber Custom II. Perfect for a personal home defense pistol. Not suitable for target shooting, but great for quick acquisition from cover and in low-light, especially if you wear glasses.

Why?
Because no good slef respecting mall ninja would be without one!

Agree, I have a Crimson Trace on my Colt 1991A1 Compact .45. It is not worth a sh** at the range, but for SD at home, any advantage helps when you are stressed. It is more distracting than anything else as you can see the dot move, no matter how steady you think you are. I can group just as well with the sights.

I took my a** of a brother-in-law to the range and let him use the laser, at 21' he could not get within 3-4" of the target. No way I was going to tell him he was anticipating the big "BANG" and jerking the trigger. I could see the light move just before the gun went off.

lasers are good tools for learning trigger control also. They make it easy to see flinching and heeling.

That is the only thing I use my laser for pretty much. Very good in that purpose. Really shows you what you are doing during the squeeze and just before trigger breaks.

Snap caps, masking tape, and a $15 laser pointer from Office Despot or Stapled.

Much cheaper.

1. Fun at the range.

2. Allows you to aim while *gasp* shooting from the hip, should you ever be in a situation where you have to (i.e. unable to extend your arm for what ever reason).

3. Come on, lets admit it... cool factor.

Actually, would depend on which strain/variant of zombie we are talking about. If yer talkin' the "I am Legend" type of zombie, yes, they shun daylight and are only active from dusk to dawn.

those aren't even real zombies...

Are porkchops included with the rice?

i have a 5mw green laser, u can fallow the beem. in self defence you can blind them with the laser if its strong enough and also is bright enough to light up a small room. only thing is that it would give away ur position

[Ironchef]

If the lasermax guide rod lasers were cheaper, I'd have one for the aesthetics only, and possible chance it can produce intimidation on the chest of a BG in my home...and make them run or give up their assault without dying.

Sights and a flashlight (mounted or held or bitten or head mounted) are a better way to go for HD imho.

With a fried egg, also.

I'm being a hypocrite. I have an over-sized spoiler on my Subaru. It's sad.

Exactly. You don't want to extend your arms if someone is close enough to grab your gun. If your house has a tight corner, you might want to come around it with your gun tucked in close to your body to avoid having to fight to keep your weapon.
