When you watch people practicing with LASERs, A lot of them seem to spend a lot of time chasing that red or green dot -- or just trying to find it! Their focus seems to be all about getting the dot on the target rather than getting the gun on target and then using the dot. Maybe they just haven't been trained in the proper use of the tool?
I've never looked into what training Crimson Trace may offer. That would be interesting to see. If
I was going to set out to train someone to shoot with a laser sight, I certainly would start with the fundamentals, then a good draw and front-sight-focused presentation. If someone is well used to that mode of operating, then the dot should appear right where their sights do, and so isn't hard to find.
But then my training plan would need some careful thought. I'm not quite sure how to best instruct for the shift from seeing (or trying to see, if it's dark) the front sight as you press the trigger, lengthening focus out to see that dot on the target instead, and how to get your brain to accept and work with the spasticly jumping dot instead of the relatively stable front sight as a legitimate flash sight picture.
As you see your front sight, it's waving around to cover a wider area on the target than it appears, but we're able to accept the sight picture as "good enough". We see the sight, it's in an acceptable region of the target, press, bang, sights return to target...etc. Seeing what you need to see to make the shot, as Brian Enos liked to say. But a laser dot is showing you
exactly where the gun is pointing every millisecond, and that overload of bright red (or green) glowing data I find to be too unfiltered to give the sort of momentary reinforcement of aim that is needed to let the mind release the shot. Since we can't stabilize the dot, the way that we can appear to stabilize the sight, I think it becomes more of a Hail Mary effort. The dot was somewhere near where I wanted at one point so...uh, bang.
