I read about this guy who got a new gun or accesory from his wife but has to keep it in the safe until Xmas. I'm kinda the same but different.
I just got my wife a Glock tac light/laser (GLT 21?), and an EFK 9mm conversion barrel for Xmas so I've got to keep them hidden for several weeks. Of course I had to check out the light before hiding it.
Very impressed with this Glock unit. It fits onto the rail very snug, the controls feel good, bright light and laser, windage and elevation adjustments, and you can control the light and laser together or independently.
There's one thing that sucks about this combination. They put the laser below the light, so now there's a huge paralax error when aiming from different distances.
If the laser is zeroed at a distance of 10ft, then at 25ft the laser pointer is 5 inches above target. If the laser is zeroed at 25ft, then at 10ft the laser pointer is 5 inches blow the target.
It's still close enough to get the job done but when paying over $200 for something...
I guess the wait will be worth it when I get to see my wife's face on Xmas. She was drooling over this thing when our instructor demonstrated it at our safety class.
