I bought a cheap laser from Midway USA and finally got to the range last night. I mounted it to the waver rail on the bottom of the pistol and thought it might help me with my grip and tigger pull.
What I didn't expect is that the red dot is DEAD ON where the bullet goes. Which also proved that I need to adjust the sights. It was a heck of a lot of fun with the laser to shoot the metal targets.
The laser was only good out to about 25 yards before I couldn't see it, but still I'd never been able to hit a paper target before at 25 yards (because of how far off the sights are...)
So, not a very tactical/durable laser, but cheap, easy to mount, the on switch goes right where your trigger finger goes before you put it on the trigger. Its adjustable so you can put the on/off button on either side of the trigger guard. I'll try and get some pictures tonight when I'm cleaning...
On a side note, my 7 year old came out with me to shoot his new air soft pistol from his grandma. I was very impressed with how well he'd been listening to me about gun safety and that he treated his air soft pistol as if it were the real thing. I was so proud!
We also had to shoot the M&P 15/22 (which is why we brought the metal targets). I think I really need to get a bolt action 22. It would slow him down and help him focus on aim, but the 15/22 is really really fun to shoot!
