I have never shot a firearms equipped with laser pointers so I don't know if they are really a good thing or not. One thing I am worried about is that the one time I might really need it to work it won't either because the battery would be flat or it would be otherwise broken.
Also, if you should go to the web site www.thegunzone.com there is a link there that takes you to an archive of comments made by the late Col. Jeff Cooper. In one of them from the early 1990s he remarks that laser pointers are not that practical because in a real shooting you need to acquire a "flash sight" of the target asap and that waiting to see where the laser hits would slow you down too much.

Any comments will be welcomed. Also, is there anyone who has actually used a laser pointer in an actual shooting?
Take care ya'll!!!
