I am in total agreement with you about to NOT rely on the (red)laser sights. If your always in doors, fine, outdoors, forget about it. Go ‘green laser lite’ if you must for outdoors. But knowing how to sight your weapon and shoot with out laser will make you a better shot, hands down IMHO….
I have a red laser on a 9mm, but I shoot it more with out the laser than with it.
Practice, Practice, !!!!
