I purchased this device to assist in training and at first was pleased. Once I started shooting the gun the laser shifted point of aim. After many attempts to recorrect the point of aim I stopped using it (especially after the flimsy switch broke) At an instructors course the laser broke into several pieces, rendering my pistol useless. Figuring I may have received a bad item I contacted Lasermax to see what could be done. I was extremely displeased with their serviceperson, who stated I must have installed the device incorrectly. Being associated with a large firearms instructor group I had several experts look at the part who confirmed it was bad manufacturing. I contacted the company again and was again told by a representative they had no responsibility for the breakage, but hoped my next purchase with them goes better. At another event I showed the part to a lasermax rep, who confirmed bad manufacturing and stated the have a poor return policy. Hopefully others have better experience ...

Great product. Guide rod spring was so stiff my normal medium reload target ammo would stove pipe. No problem with full house defense ammo. The allen wrench that comes with the kit could have a larger handle than 1/8 inch diameter. I drilled out a shaker peg and tapped the handle into it for better control and not to be lost so easy.

The sight works well and becomes part of the weapon which results in no added bulk or balance issues. The battery life is shorter than expected.
