I have nothing but good to say about this laser sight. It is a game changer. The fit is perfect on a Kimber Ultra CDP II. The green laser is very bright and indoors will even shed illumination into the room and onto the target. Use outdoors is limited, but it is useable in bright sunlight out to about 50 feet. On an overcast day, you can see the green dot at quite a distance. The workmanship is high quality. The on/off pressure switch works perfectly and is properly positioned. I am an older shooter whose eyes aren't quite what they used to me when I would pitch out golf balls and blast them with my .45. Now I should be able to do that again with this laser sight. No need to waste time with tritium night sights which are far slower that putting the green dot on the target. This laser definitely will improve speed and accuracy. This was the only option I could find to put a laser on my 3" barrel non-railed old school 1911 .45 pistol. It works perfectly, and as I said, it is a game changer.

This was my first laser sight purchase, but I researched extensively before buying a unit and considered even semi-professional grade laser sights in the $750 to $800 price range, but decided to try the Crimson Trace product based on glowing reviews of others. I am using this mounted on the top rail of an AR-15 up front on the top rail near an angled foregrip and side-mounted Surefire Scout flashlight mounted where all the light and laser controls are extremely easy to reach without taking my hand off the angled foregrip. The Crimson Trace universal rail-mount laser appears to be well made and the on-off controls feel surprisingly solid and well made for such a tiny unit. It performs thus far in all respects like I would expect a laser sight to perform. I cannot comment yet on how well it holds zero under heavy shooting or stands up under abuse, or just how waterproof it is, but I am optimistic that it will pass muster based on what I have seen thus far. I am actually pleasantly surprised at this quality for such a small price. I had concerns about the quality of other brands of lasers in this price range. I do not have this concern now with Crimson Trace products, but have generally concluded that Crimson Trace products are well made, a good value for the money, suitable for serious civilian defense use, and I will be outfitting other firearms with Crimson Trace lasers.

This is an excellent riflescope for short to medium ranges, and I would not expect to find anything better than this except possibly some high end optic designed for the same function at nearly double the price or more. This is as much bang for your $1400 as you are going to get for a scope that can be used for close range with both eyes open at 1x power, with the option to reach out 300 to 500 yards with 6x. Vortex's lifetime warranty is very impressive and reassuring.
