Reviews & Ratings for Lasermax Laser Sights for Springfield XD/XD(M) — 31 reviews — Page 1

I was looking for a laser for the XD-9 Mod.2. I felt a guide rod version would be best and would allow me to carry my weapon with the current holsters I own. Upon installation, the guide rod, even with the cap for the XD-9 installed, barely remains in place. I was able to get it installed and rack the slide a few times without it locking up. The guide rod at first would not stay in place, but currently seems fine. I'll have to see if putting several hundred rounds through will show this to work as it's supposed to. The other item that could be better is the take-down lever, which is replaced with one in the package. It must be installed perfectly before the button that turns on the laser, from either side by the way, will work. That was not an issue for me, but for others. Have used the laser in dry firing thus far to become acclimated to it's function and placement. Very bright and usable as a way to acquire the target is low light situations. It also flashes, which is said to be better for the eyes and to prevent others from zeroing in on your position (unlike using a flashlight).

DOES NOT FIT SNUG IN BARREL FALLS OUT WHEN FIELD STRIPPING. DON'T FIELD SAFE TRYING TO USE THIS. HAVE NOT TRIED TO USE YET WILL TAKE OUT. JUST GOT IT TODAY. WILL CONTACT LASERMAX ON MONDAY FOR INFO.HAVE ONE ON MY GLOCK 19 BEEN WORKING GREAT FOR MANY YEARS, BUT ON THE XD NOT SUCURE IN BARREL AS THOUGH NOT PROPER LENGTH OR SPRING TOO LOOSE

Not my first LaserMax laser. Have one on a Glock 17 so installation and use were familiar. harder to install on XD because installation of new take-down lever required following directions EXACTLY. If you do so, it's easy tho'. Love the ease of activating and deactivating laser but will not have the various options found on an external mount such as Viridian. But for a sturdy product that will fit any applicable holster - can't beat the internal mount.
Pros: Internal Mount & pre-zeroed
Cons: Battery change

Love the guide laser and will order one for my 9mm XDm. Only wish LaserMax produced one for a Kahr K
Pros: Easy installation, zeroed to sight
Cons: If a con, battery cap on guide rod is plastic, but hasn't caused any problems

Wonderful easy to use product. Everything worked perfectly out of the box. 3 minute install and no problems.
Pros: easy to install and use, accurate out of box

the on off switch isnt very good to small and set in to much.dosent lock in to gun like rod for the gun does. wasnt happy with the switch being plastic.
Pros: dont change gun looks
Cons: could fit better

Purchased this because I already had a SERPA holster and I wanted a laser sight that didn't cause me to have to get another holster. Took it took the range and I was able to place many rounds on top of each other in the target area of about a quarter. Was very accurate out of the box. The switch took a bit of getting used to as I wasn't pressing it in all the way and it turned off after each round. Figured I missed another "click" and pressed it in further and stayed on with no issues. Liked it so much I got one for my Beretta.
Pros: Weapon integration, visibility, ease of installation
Cons: Switch can slip...occasionally.

Easy to install, piece of cake to use, but the switch is touchy. If I try to use the factory holster it turns the laser on every time. I also cannot put the gun in the factory case without putting something in to hold the barrel up so the foam does not turn on the laser.
Pros: Easy to install, bright, simple to use.
Cons: Switch it touch, can't use factory holster because it turns laser on.

Within ten to twenty shots it turns and stops working then you have to disassemble the gun and realign it.
You must reassemble it with the gun upside down or it will fall out.

Pros: easy to install
Cons: it turns after 10 shots and dosent work anymore

Perfect companion to your XD-45 Tactical. It comes with ONE HECK of a stiff recoil spring though, but it doesn't seem to effect the weapon at all. Not a fan of items that have proprietary wear items (Like batteries), however OP seems to always have them on hand, I'll be picking one up whenever I make a purchase here. All and all,well made and better then my expectations.
Pros: EASY to install (even if you are a mechanical moron)
Cons: Propitiatory Batteries
