The downside of a laser, is that it does not illuminate your target. In a dark environment, all you see is a red dot. Also, it points right back to it's source, in the dark, showing potentially armed BG where to aim. The only thing I would put on a gun would be a flashlight, or something that will illuminate a potential target. JMHO
I have never been crazy about mounted flashlights in the home. While in most situations a flashlight could be a good defensive tool.. But around the home, the homeowner should know his way around his house better than any home invader. Darkness may be your best friend. I keep a few (5) little flashlights around the house. One is always in reach. But I would be real judicious about using them when investigating a potential home invasion.
As far as Lasers go I haven't used them much , But it is the green lasers that are bright iven under some pretty bright sun, They are the ones that will show a visable beam. The red ones will not unless there is a lot of smoke or dust in the air.
