Some like them, some don't. This is the only one at present that I have that would fit the bill, and it works pretty well in the dark. I can hit a steel plate at 25 yards if I KNOW where it is at (and can't even see it). It also allows me to aim in spite of the sights being occluded when the Walther is equipped with a suppressor (my main reason for having it). Sort of a poor man's SOCOM. It doesn't add that much weight, and being designed to fit the rail and have a fair margin of ergonomics with the switch location, it is workable. The one thing I have found about lasers is that they do not last that long in extreme cold weather. Batteries tend to give up the ooomph in about 20-45 minutes, depending on use, depleted power, and exposure to the cold. If carried next to the body, under garments, and then employed, you stand a better chance of longer use in the cold. [IMG]
