Lasers not only provide very good feedback as a training tool, helping muscle memory training and trigger control/grip, but can also have great value as aid to shooting under
actual shooting conditions. (high stress/elevated heartbeat/high adrenaline)
An Average Joe is actually the BEST candidate for having a "nonsense" tool like a laser, especially when these days, they take up so little real estate and have some very ergonomic options for switching. As to the last sentence, how about being in a very scary situation with a couple of bullets in
you taking you out of action and a loved one helping defend you or your family? (That person not being as highly trained and skillful in the martial arts as yourself, of course.) While I think that general competency in firearms is an admirable thing for everyone, being able to tell a person who is not as much of a "
Warrior" to "take a deep breath, put the red dot on his chest and press the trigger" may just save your life and theirs.
I do not have any lasers on any of my firearms, but I would never pooh pooh anyone with one as an excuse to belittle their "Average Joe-ness."
OPTIONS are
good.
