Re: Laser on handgun

After she shot 3-4 mags to let her get familiar with the gun, I suggested she not try to "hold" the dot on the target. I told her to squeeze the trigger when the dot came on target. She started grouping her shots inside the bull’s-eye and her forearm on her shooting arm did not quiver trying to hold the dot still. I also will be adding a laser on the Ruger LCP that I’m giving my Granddaughter. She is a very good shot with all of my handguns but I think the laser would be a good addition to the gun. She has to walk across the parking lot at night after her classes at TCC. I have taught her all the awareness techniques a young woman (or any woman for that matter) needs to know and I want to place most of the odds in her favor in case she has to defend herself. Using a laser is like any other method of shooting – practice, practice, practice. Semper Fi :patriot:
Has she been carrying in the classroom? :shock:

Re: Handgun equipment/technique questions from Newbie

Every time I try to shoot with a laser, I "chase the dot." Like others, I find it so distracting that I don't use them. The only gun we have with a laser is my wife's 642CT. I suppose that they might be fairly useful when shooting from unorthodox positions.....like from the ground on your back, shooting up at an assailant, or shooting on the run.....but I think it is almost useless to practice with them.

As for using a laser to see what you're doing wrong with the trigger, that is just as easy to diagnose by other means without the addition of the dancing dot.

I think I would rather have a good tactical light rather than a laser.
