The recent marketing attempts to sell laser pointers for pistols should be viewed askance. We tested such devices here at the Ranch some years ago when they were much more expensive than they are now, and we discovered that the principle disadvantage of the laser is that it is slow. When you present a pistol properly and pick up the flash sight−picture, you do it in one smooth stroke. When, on the other hand, you present a laser−equipped pistol you must hunt around for that orange dot on the target, which takes more time than the
acquisition of the flash sight picture. The time increment between the two systems is admittedly slight, but one wonders why one should install an expensive gadget in order to create a slight disadvantage. - Jeff Cooper
