Funny stuff. Consensus? No. Plethora of opinions? Oh, yeah......
I'm not a fan of lasers. For police-type sniper work I can see the use but I don't want to follow a light to hit a target with a handgun. I can still use a front sight and, even better, I point shoot extremely well.
On handguns I don't like red dots, either, although they are becoming all the rage and I don't get it except for a parallel to polymer, striker fired handguns - it's new and modern so yippee-ki-yi, let's do it. Not I said the spider to the fly.
Same with attached flashlights but that's whole nuthuh rant.........
