As for point shooting, you know how Cooper felt about that.....

My pup (the 9 month old) loves chasing laser dots, too; it's one of his favorite things. My older dog thinks he's nuts. Not sure what the middle dog thinks, since I won't be home until November to meet her (acquired in my absence... I'm a few thousand miles away).

However, I don't want my dog to get in the habit of running in front of a pistol, and I don't want myself in the habit of pointing a handgun all over the place (including at my dog).

So, bought a dedicated laser pointer for a dog toy.

Forgot to mention earlier in the laser/EOTech discussion:

My AR sports a CTC laser, too. It's a foregrip mount. Laser is on the left of the grip mount, and a high intensity light is on the right. One button arms the laser, and another arms the light. Strobe modes are available.

So, some lasers can actually facilitate target ID - assuming they have a light attached.

I get a hefty discount on CTC gear, among other brands, so this grip only cost $200 or so.

Cheers,

M

I am not a LEO...but I have a laser on the rail of my Taurus 24/7 Pro Compact .45 ACP, which is my home defense weapon.

I do not have a laser on my conceal carry pistol, nor on the Taurus Judge I carry in the console of my vehicle.

We were not allowed to have a laser on our duty weapons. No reason given it was just written in the rules and regs. I had Night sights for the last 15 plus years of my career.
