Was easy to install but I had a problem with sighting in. It appears the instructions have you turn the adjustments the wrong way. This was very strange but once it was solved sighting in was a snap. The adjusting screws are tiny and the wrench seems too flexible. I don't see a reason for it to be so long and the flex in the wrench is such that it is hard to make small adjustments. I assume this wrench is used on all products and is long for this reason. Otherwise it works great and the turn-off switch insures you won't drain the battery when it is stored away. My old eyes aren't too good for iron sights and this is a good alternative.

I finally had a chance to shoot my 454 Casull with this grip. I was leary of firing hot loads but there was no pain or grief since the grips absorbed the recoil from this big kicker. It was easy for me to install it. It fit perfectly and as I mentioned it does its job well as has been my experience with all Hogue products.

I have another Green Laser from another manufacturer which I like and this one was purchased for a .45 Springfield Operator for home defense. My 70 year old eyes aren't too good with sights and lasers are a godsend to me. It mounts easily and it is bright and visible in daylight. One issue that caused me to give it a 4 star rating is the lack of a turn off switch. A minor flaw but it would be handy to make sure it doesn't turn on in the gun case on the way to the range. Green lasers seem to eat up batteries. The ambidextrous paddle control switch is great. Grip switches are OK but it always seems I need to take an awkward grip to keep the laser on. This switch puts the control where you can turn it on with your trigger finger as you pick up the weapon and it stays on. It helps with proper trigger finger placement as you draw the pistol - off of the trigger. It also permits you to access the blinking laser with the paddle switch.

I bought this ProStaff Rimfire to replace an inexpensive scope I purchased for use on a .22LR Ruger American. I mistakenly thought .22s don't need the best of scopes. The rifle was demonstrating accuracy potential in spite of difficulties in aiming due to using poor optics so I thought an upgrade was warranted, but didn't want to go overboard on the price. The ProStaff was only about $50.00 more than the cheaper scope - but what a difference. Clarity was on par with any scope for higher powered rifles, which is a reason to purchase Nikon and construction does not appear to be watered down for use in a lowly rimfire .22. One elongated hole at 50 yards is possible now due to the improvement in aiming this scope provided.
