Noob Q:Do I need a specific laser/light made for SD40 or are they universal fitting?

I guess I need to read about the differences but the ones I am looking at are like this for example:
Amazon.com: UAG Tactical Compact Red Laser Sight For S&W Smith & Wesson 1911 M&P SD9 SD40 Pistols With A Front Weaver Picatinny Rail: Sports & Outdoors
and this
http://www.amazon.com/Compact-Pistol-Picattiny-Laser-Sight/dp/B005W70BQO/ref=pd_sim_sbs_sg_1
I am still thinking if I should get a light instead of a combination.

Go with a quality rail light...you won't regret it!
You really got to check Streamlight, Surefire, CT and other quality products. I purchased a Streamlight TLR-4 light/laser combo for about $130 a few month ago. I could not be happier.
The SD series has the standard "picatinny" rail so you should be able to mount just about any light or laser on it.

Yeah , I got one holster for laser which already makes it look big and the one that I have been considering for carry (ready holster) has no space for laser so I dont want to get used to a laser at the range if I am not going to carry it...decisions 
I use to run a laser but i found it made me a lazy shooter as id only look at the laser and not the sights. A laser can have a certain pucker effect when bad guys see a red dot painted on them. But most actually shootings are point blank range. I have since stopped using them, also i have found holding zero to be a problem. For the same money you can get some really good night sights
Yeah that is why I was looking to cheapo lasers instead of spending a lot to realize I dont like it at the end.
Next up for me are a few lessons because it was like 2 years since I shot my Hi-point gun and I went to the range yesterday and oh boy..I sucked like there is no tomorrow! I was no hitting where I wanted and was just like 15ft away. I used to shoot at a higher distance with the hi-point so either the 40 caliber is something I need to get used to...I am rusty for the long time without practicing...or the gun is not shooting straight

dont forget the TDR911 guys. They dont have a 'light' exactly but the laser/led set up is pretty good in the dark. The lights are bright enough to light up anything for 25' in the dark and its low profile enough to fit in a lot of holsters.
