From the hands on I have had with weapon mounted lasers, both in Army settings and civilian settings, IR included its another few articles right there. Though pistol mounted lights are great to help identify how you are shooting, you can actually use that for dry fire to see where your flinches may be headed. <br /><br />One big thing to add in to your weapon light thing however is Jesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17973419641321027031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069865645245246238.post-70586152850737333342010-10-29T11:16:53.541-05:002010-10-29T11:16:53.541-05:00I'm planning to do another post on the actual ...I'm planning to do another post on the actual gear options in the future, and I'll probably mention lasers there briefly, however I haven't really done enough research on the subject, and me experience doesn't extend past playing with one at a gun show and going "neat!"<br /><br />I think a lot of laser use is quit similar to light use though, that in it's not magic Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12141654754595945677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4069865645245246238.post-2869988626029577162010-10-29T10:50:49.769-05:002010-10-29T10:50:49.769-05:00You bring up a lot of solid points there, Though t...You bring up a lot of solid points there, Though there is now the addition of red/green dot lasers attached to those lights or Crimson Trace Grips to accompany those white lights.
