gutthans's Review of Viridian OpticsPlanet Exclusive HS1 Laser Hand Stops

An edit to an earlier review: I now own 3 of these Viridian lasers, 2 green and 1 red. They work flawlessly, hold zero, and can be adapted to non-M-LOK handguards fairly easily.

I have new data on the laser beam spread over yardage to add (now that I have a helper):
@ 25 yds. the beam is approx. .250"
@ 35 yds. the beam is roughly .375"
@ 50 yds. the beam is roughly 1.0"
@ 100 yds. the beam is somewhere around 2.50" (not the 6.0' I first thought at night).

These were taken during an overcast day, in the field against a white 8" pie plate. The beam is recognizable further out, which is why I purchased another for a scoped 5.56 rifle. We stopped at 100 yds. though as that seems to be an ideal ballistic trajectory zero distance for the laser when combined with standard 'iron' sights and scopes up to about 150 yds. for the 55 and 62 grain bullets. My first greenie is set to a 50 yd. zero for a .300 Black 220 gr. sub 'truck pistol' as the trajectory is nearly flat until 50 with a constant fall after that.

The center axis will be below the bore and it takes a little ballistic charting to get the best aim point for a particular weapon/cartridge/sight set.
Pros:
  • Easy adjustment
  • High visibility
  • Easy battery change
  • close to the bore center
Cons:
  • sighting decisions
Best Used for:
  • Fast acquisition of targets
  • hunting 0-150 yds.
Would Recommend: Yes
