Perhaps not. It seemed like you were insinuating that IR lasers were not useful for civilians. Did I misunderstand you?I never said civilians shouldn’t have access to them. You aren’t tracking.

I originally asserted that lasers in general were a trigger training aid, and I didn’t think they were good for much else unless a person is wicked old and can’t really use iron sights.Perhaps not.

How old is "wicked old" to you?….. I didn’t think they were good for much else unless a person is wicked old and can’t really use iron sights....
ya know, for every person that likes and finds something useful there's gonna be 10 that don't and vice versa.....
I agree with that. Back in the service, no one in my section wanted the 203 because it was so awkward to carry and shoot. Mind you, it was peacetime, so our motivation was different than the kids carrying them now, but they're just clumsy range toys in my opinion.
I was thinking more like 80’s. Old folks get victimized and an aiming aid could certainly be a benefit there where severely degraded eye sight, or shaky hands make iron sights truly difficult to use. If someone has a reason to use one sooner, that’s cool.I'm guessing "wicked old" is anyone over age 40.
The only time I ever cursed out carrying around a 203 was when I did so with a 1 point sling. No bueno. Give me a 2 or 3 point to carry anything above a regular M4 setup. After the 203 I was AG on a gun team so I learned to manage weight well.
Oh the 203 seems like an excellent weapon especially when you need to negate some cover. I would be concerned about how it changes the handling of an AR15/Mxx rifle but if I were going to be shot at I don't think I would complain too much (maybe try and make someone else responsible for it but I would shut up soon) but I have never actually gotten a chance to play with one and if we're being honest the grenade launcher from Apocalypse Now (M79?) Looks like more fun if we're at a Vegas shooting range playing with the NFA goodies.
To be fair, the fact that there is demand for something doesn't make it "useful". Ever hear of fidget spinners, or just about any smartphone game in existence?After all, most of the things mentioned are commercially made so there is a demand somewhere.

our future son-in-law was showing us the new Clipdraw he had installed on a little Glock of his.
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Hope you're not expecting Grandkids. No trigger guard is a recipe for a hole in ones self.
Fair enough. My point still stands though, I think. High demand does not automatically mean a given item is "useful" in general.Useful is subjective. Do you have any idea how calming "useless" phone games or fidget spinners are to an autistic child? Incredibly. So while someone might think suppressors are useless, many don't. Same thing with lasers, the tactical sack, and pistol bayonets. Someone, somewhere has a use for it.
