[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3549004, member: 5412"] Most lasers are worthless in daylight. Green is better than red, but only at very close ranges. They fail also in smoky, snowy, rainy conditions as they give away your positions by exposing the beam. That being said, I shoot red dot which is different that laser on most pistols and some rifles that are used at close range for home defense and competition. As the eyes age, and one can't focus on the rear sight, front sight and target at the same time, a red dot is the savior. Some can't use the red dot because of astigmatism or cataracts that makes the dot into a blur. Pups with eagle eyes can use the open sights to perfection. One thing I do and suggest others do is to find out how to shoot when the dot fails for what ever reason or whatever situation. Practice rolling the pistol sideways and using line of sight. You may be surprised at how far off you are and need to correct. Typically way high. It's worth practicing and knowing though. [/QUOTE]
