Laser Sights

Laser sights and light-laser combinations for handguns and rifles — red and green, in rail-mounted and grip-integrated designs. A laser indexes the gun from positions where you cannot get behind the sights, which is its real advantage over a red dot rather than raw precision.

Lights and lasers solve different problems, and you usually want both. Our comparison of weapon lights and handheld flashlights covers how to think about identifying a target versus aiming at one.
