Not worth the money or the time; tested by an army & le veteran - OpticsPlanet Exclusive Sightmark LoPro Mini Combo

To be fair, I bought this off Amazon using accumulated credit card points, so I really wasn't out any money for the product itself. I'm very familiar with lights, lasers, and combo sights so I knew what I was getting from the outset. I was simply looking for a lower cost home defense item not go-to-war or SWAT-level equipment, so I took a chance; big mistake as I was very disappointed with what I got as a result. I will say that the unit seemed very durable and sturdy but also a bit heavy. The light and laser were both very bright and I was initially happy with what I received...for about 5 minutes. After that, things went downhill quickly. At that point, with the light and laser activated, the laser began to fade out after about 5-10 seconds but, if you turned the light off, the laser was still on. This happened consistently and even after switching to a new battery for testing. At least the Amazon return process was quick and easy! My advice would be save up for the Crimson Trace version as a minimum and avoid the disappointment in the long run.
