Viridian Universal Sub-Compact Green Laser Sight C5 is easy to set up and install. Works perfectly on both my Springfield XD Subcompact 9mm as well as my Taurus 809C 9mm. On/Off switch is within close reach of the trigger finger. The green laser is exceptionally bright and sharp.

Battery life - if used for security and safety at home you can't leave battery in or it will discharge over a period of time. This makes the product ineffective when needed in a life threatening situation should the need arise after a period of inactivity.

This is a quality piece of equipment, I have them on all my primary carry weapons. Optics Planet has the best price and you cannot beat their customer service.

As owner of several inexpensive lasers, the quality of this product is truly impressive. Bought it for my wife's S&W M&P 9mm compact (i save the cheap stuff for myself), and she loves it. Directions are clear, has several mounting options, goes on in minutes. I truly understand now why Viridian commands a premium price-- it is a truly premium product.

It would be helpful if the adjustment screws had a set distance for eaxh detent tied to a range. (i.e. 1 click equals a M.O.A. at 50 feet?)

I've reviewed many laser sights for my M&P 9c, and the Viridian green laser came out on top. If you are going to choose a specific color, I suggest going "green." Much brighter than red, and the shipping time was faster than anything I've ever ordered. I'm impressed. (so were the other shooters at the range).

I read up on this laser as I wanted something for my FNH USG. I ordered it and was really surprised at how small it was. I dont need a light, just a laser and this thing lights up the room at night. Awesome product. Will buy more of their stuff as the need arises.
