Do you use a laser light on your pistol? why, why not?

i guess it depends on the size of the laser beam….but a pistol is pretty much a close range weapon so he or she sees you any way.

Since when have you been chasing down bad guys with a pistol?

Och son I dinnae huv a pistol!

@mij mmm the scottish are fun to make fun of but I bet half the people here will be like
“WTF DOES THAT MEAN!”

Oh young man I don’t have a pistol!
Or as your lot might say… Hey my main man, what da’ya mean your not packin heat!
Keep your mind on your drivin, keep your hands on the wheel and keep your sleepy eyes on the road ahead, were having fun sitting in the back street kissing and a huggin with Fred…
Where did that come from…

@cage At least the other half will enjoy it!

I’ve got a we bit scottish in me. It’s hard to notice though.
;)

What I use on my “pistol” is my business and none of yours, thank you.

@AstroChuck You’re so hard to resist, quit being so cute! ;)

Maybe devil horns will help

I’ve tried, believe me.

just aim. i mean. most of the time your under 10 yards for a pistol… or just use the entire round on the person until you finally take them down. :D

I suppose a laser light would help if you’re all “gangsta” and holding the pistol sideways.

I just aim for center mass.

Lasers create terrible shooters. Pointing the gun at what you want to hit is the easy part. Trigger control, proper sight alignment, not flinching, etc. are all the things that make your bulllet hit the target.

So, it’s another thing you can thank the movies for. The only benefit it has is quick target aquisition, but they’re pretty much useless. With the exception of red dot scopes, which people confuse for “lasers”.

P.S. In real life people almost never notice when a laser on them. Just try it slyly with a laser pointer on a friend and you’ll see what I mean.

@Spargett possibly one of the funniest practical jokes I’ve ever done. Stood on one end of a lunch hall in my college and pointed a laser at someone’s chest on the other side. the guy they were talking to started to freak a little so I moved it up to his head and he was like MOVE!!!
They then looked out over the hall and saw me wetting myself in a corner waving at them.

Not saying I do… Not saying I don’t but…
No, you don’t need ‘em. They go out of alignment. They’re bulky if added on. They give a warning and show your position. Remember, you only draw if you intend to use it right then. Go with Tritium night sights.
