I agree with Pawpaw. What he said.
I have a laser on my carry gun - I also have tritium night sights and practice without the laser.
Why both? Because the way my luck runs the laser batteries will be dead when I really need them.
I like the green laser because it can be seen in daylight.
You must be competent with your gun without any electronic aid.
That having been said, I want any and every advantage in case I need to use my weapon in defense of my life.
In a stress situation, that bright green dot might just give me the edge.
But you still must practice.
Okay, good advice. I'm much better with a smaller gun, but I bought a Sig Sauer P250 for my CHL class. I passed the shooting portion having never shot that particular gun before, though. I will make a conscious effort to practice more, but going to the gun range alone is a little bit intimidating.
You can go to a range with someone if you want or by yourself. There are pros and cons for both. When you are alone you don't have a need to satisfy someone else. If you like company find the nearest A Girl and A Gun, they are national.
