I can get them now but they are more expensive. Waiting on my other sources to get them in unless you want to pay more I can order you one...

Finally getting the range report up. I went with my buddy who shoots xdm 9 and xd sc 9 and my dad who had never shot a poly pistol of any kind but regularly shoots a 1911 .45 and various wheel guns.
After some minor elevation adjustments it was hitting where the laser spotted the target. The farthest we shot was 11yds at a small indoor range here locally. We ran through 100 rounds of wwb 115gr and 50 rounds of double tap 124gr gold dots.

My buddy who shoots xd/m's regularly shot fine with it and enjoyed.
My dad on the other hand had trouble with his grip keeping the laser activated. After observing I noticed he was gripping slightly lower causing his middle finger to ride at times just below the middle finger activation nub.

I will say that it felt like I needed to focus more on fundamentals of my stance/hold as it's easy to let the gun drop lower than normal when focusing on the laser dot, eventually leading to a less supportive follow-up shot.

This pic is from shooting 19 rounds of double tap 124gr jacketed defense ammo(gold dots) at 7 yards at the small scoring legend in the upper left of the silhouette target. First half or so of the mag was slow fire then the latter half was fairly rapid fire.

Looks like you got a pretty decent group there. I don't have any lasers anymore on my main carry guns, had to get rid of them because they don't fit any of my new ones (recently upgraded to Gen4 Glocks, still have one on my S&W revolver). When I used to use them, I would line the laser up with the iron sights about 15 feet out, it worked pretty good.

How much more are they from your other source and when are your less expensive sources expecting stock again?

These are available again...

They're running a $50 rebate deal right now also, so it's a good time to buy!

Got mine this morning, install took only a few min. on my XD .45 Service, then off to the range. Time was limited so I only got off 30 rounds but darn if the thing wasn't right on out of the box. Fired from 15yds and 7yds. I wasn't trying for a real tight group but they were all tight enough for me about 4". I likey alot!

Now Blackhawk need to make a holster to accept the Laserguard.
