The Crimson Trace is a good laser and is bright and is easy to turn on and off. Installation was quick and easy and didn't interfere with the pistol;

Bought this for my home defense Glock 19.I won't go into the details of how to mount it, what it is, how it works, etc.. You can see the excellently done reviews here and on YouTube for all that. I'll just point out the strength of the green laser, especially in the daylight. The attached photos show the laser at work inside the house in darkness, the laser dot at 25 yards and 50 yards on a cloudy day and me at the 50 yard point for perspective. Note how the 50 yard dot is slightly larger than the 25, but see how bright it still is. Now, you probably won't be shooting at this distance, but it gives a good idea of the laser's power and visibility and daylight potential uses. We have humidifiers running in our house over winter, so you can actually see the beam clearly on the photo in the dark, due to the moisture in the air - cool !I've fired about 50 rounds with it and no problems. It comes with a 3 year warranty and free batteries (1/3N) for life (one per year on request).I already have "Glow On" phosphorescent paint on my iron sights, but the laser will work immediately. I might not get a chance to power the Glow On paint with a flashlight for a couple seconds.One point to note is that I sight in the laser at about 20ft (ex-factory setting is 50ft). This ensures that the laser dot is visible above the iron sights at >7yards (the typical encounter distance). If you sight at 50ft, then the laser dot will be lower than the iron sights at This is a great value for a great laser system from a trustworthy manufacturer. You won't be disappointed!

What really sold me was the low profile which keeps the beam close to the bore and reduces the chances for snag and bumps. Forget about handguns for a minute, this thing really shines on rifles and carbines. It can be mounted on topside rails in front of optics or even in front of a front flip up sight. When mounted on the bottom rail of my Keltec Sub-2000, it gives me an aiming device which still allows me to fold the rifle. The windage and elevation hex screws turn smoothly and with enough resistance to keep them from wandering. The battery door is easy to operate. The on/off switches are silent and require a moderate amount of force. The mounting wings are stout polymer and the fine pitch mounting screws apply their clamping force gradually. Only a real novice would overtighten or run into problems with the mount. The size, functionality, and quality are an unbeatable package. I will be buying more.
