While I haven't taken them outside in bright sunlight, I have toyed with these expensive devices in a brightly lit gun show. I'm impressed.
I compared a green laser to a standard red laser unit inside a brightly lit large hall which had many semi-opaque skylights. At an estimated 200 ft, the green laser was at least 3 times brighter, much easier to pick out against different colors/shades and crystal sharp looking. The red laser was a bit washed out and was not as well defined looking. It also had a tendency to "fade" as it was moved across varying colors.
Downside is that these are seriously intense beams. I would not want to have that beam reflect off a chrome object or mirror back into my eyes. I got a bit of that by accidentally hitting a squarechrome pole when moving the laser and it's like a flash bulb.
