Re: Viridian Green Laser Viridians are nice but way overpriced. Picked up a Barska at a gunshow for $100 even. At the range I go to people around me scoff at my Draco with a forward grip. Their jaws drop when I put 20 out if 20 into a 3" red dot from the hip at 75m.

Re: Viridian Green Laser FYI, you may want to reconsider a red laser, especially if you plan on night use. In low light or darkness the beam from a green laser is much more visible along the line of sight than a red - especially from the target's point of view. R.

Re: Viridian Green Laser 1 Attachment(s) Red tends to go away in daylight, unless it is at least 5mw or so...

Please extrapolate. Are you saying a laser is much more a liability than benefit, and a green one, the worst so? I've thought about this, and am trying to decide based on available information and opinion. A tactical light is also a "target" but I also realize one can do the old "high FBI" tactic which would mean the light is held over one's head off to the side. What about a laser just for training purposes?

I have been really looking at this lasermax unit for my ar. Looks pretty good, all the cheaper ones are really large and add a lot of weight.

Not sure what that has to do with the discussion. Greater than 5mw your gonna have to carry a battery back with you. The standard green lasers take enough as it is. Edit> reread and saw this earlier in thread: Quote:

And yes it does. Green is much more visible. If your primary use is low light, red is fine. Day use, green is better.

Re: Viridian Green Laser Reminds me a of story... What happens when you: Have a >5mw green laser Office on 52 floor of office building White police car on street? Oh, the greens REALLY light up the reflective stripes on the street.

Re: Viridian Green Laser The Glock Tact lite with dimmer is just fine. The Range on it is extremely impressive ( well past 200 yard at night) T
