I beg to differ. I am a Firearms Instructor and I use mine (both lasers & red dots) for training purposes. There is nothing like your student seeing that little red dot bouncing all over the place to show them how important breath control and trigger control is. Of course they learn the iron sights first, but they are a great training device. Finally, I use one on my Beretta 92FS for home defense and it is awsome. The wife loves it and it has never let me down (LaserLyte). For those of you who haven't tried it out, go for it. It is a great accessory to your firearm. I converted two people two weeks ago into laser lovers.
