I always wanted a green laser. the price was great and shipping was speedy. mounted in about three minutes. have not shot using it yet. also would like to find a right hip conceal carry holster to replace my 100.00 Galco leather one that i truly love.will post another review after sighting it in and shooting 100 rounds to see if it holds alignment. seems very well built. was birthday present from my fiancee. will use to hunt close range.

First unit would not adjust enough to bring windage in on my AR-15 to cowitness at 10 yds., though it would adjust enough to cowitness Glock G21 at 7-10 yds. Optics Planet replaced the 1st unit with no hassle and no shipping costs to me. Second unit worked as advertised. These green lasers are extremely bright compared to red, but can be 'followed back' to the weapon more easily.

I thought this was going to be made out of some hard plastic, I was suprised that it was sturdy metal, but light enough to not put a lot of added weight to the front of my pistol.

I mounted the GLX on a 1911 model 45 Automatic as a replacement for a green laser of another brand which didn't hold up to the recoil. The GLX adjusted in easily and has not moved despite the heavy recoil.I placed a small piece of high density foam in the switch to keep it in place. I'm using the momentary switch to activate the laser.

Great Laser, none cheaper. Intimidation factor has got to be off the charts. May never need to fire my weapon with this beast on it. I would recommend this to anyone with a full size firearm. Not recommended for Sub-Compacts. Get one, you'll love it! Check out my reviem on Youtube @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1F28qpIvzJo

I bought this for my wife's 9mm carbine and it is a great combination. It is mounted on a rail very close to the end of the barrel. It is easy to switch on and off in that position. It doesn't have very many rounds through it, but it seems to be holding up nicely so far. I personally would only recommend this on rifles because of the mass. The laser is very bright and visible even in daylight. I could easily see the laser at over 100 yards in the sunlight! If it is being used for home defense, it is bright enough to light up the whole room. Great service from OpticsPlanet as ususal.

I took a chance and bought this new green laser even though I could find no reviews as the time. Although the unit feels solid, is has a questionable slide switch that would not work sometimes and would switch off while shooting. My target groups improved greatly when it was working. If you want an inexpensive green laser for the range, it will do, but don't depend on it for a self defense situation! I return it as defective and ordered the much more expensive Viridian C5L instead.

I like the laser. It mounts nicely on any picatinny rail system. If you want to see a review on it I did one on youtube.com/kali951king I did a 5 minute overview of the laser and i show it mounted.
