laser sights solve snubbies' biggest shortcoming

[DesertFox]

Bob Mundon popped 3 in a row at 200 yards so the problem is not the accuracy of snubbies.

I have been standing next to Bob when he has done this. I can attest to his unbelievable skills.

Also watched him sight in a target at 90° through a large diamond wedding ring. When he shoots his Colt 45s off, it sounds like full auto. Amazing stuff.

To be near such amazing talent is a treat.

I am glad one such as you, who appreciated it, was there

No one has mentioned trigger control(have they?). The practice that it takes to get off a couple of shots with a pound or less of firearm is a lot. That laser does not steady the hand, it will emphasize the hand.

I used to compete in the PCCA at Dean Brevitt's place. 3" or less for revolvers. A great big bunch were embarrassed the first few matches.

Mr Borland, where are you?

I have a laser on my snub and I think it's a great addition. The best thing it did for me was help me re-learn how to control a snub and point shoot one. After about a year of having my LG105's, I don't even see the laser when I draw and fire. For me, it worked best to help me learn to use the gun better. I shoot the gun just as well with the stock grips but keep the CT's on because they feel like a nice set of woods with a bit of grippiness (the activation button) to them.

I have a 340 M&P and got the CT for just that purpose, I am not usually proficient with a snubnose. However, I decide to practice W/O the CT and found I shot very well. The tritium front sight made all the difference. If I had known how accurate it was I would have passed on the CT. I do believe CT are an advantage though.

Many of these snub nose revolvers are meant for point shoot and not point of aim shooting. That is why they are not very equipped in the sights department. The Idea is that in an adrenaline induced state when you are faced with a fight or flight response, fine motor skills and focus are not going to be available and sights will be of little use to you. That's why they say to practice because it is a matter of muscle memory where your point of aim naturally follows your point of focus. I am on the fence about the lasers. They may be great for punching paper, but I am also concerned that they may induce some bad shooting habits.

I'm not an expert by any means, I don't want to come off that way, this is just what I was taught.
