I have owned more handguns over the years that I can even remember and never had any device added to them, never had an occasion to need one either. Recently bought a 38 Bodyguard with a lazer, jury is still out on whether or not I will ever use it other than to use it at the range to get used to how it works. In a home invasion scenario in the middle of the night I really doubt I would have the time to initiate it.
