This infrared laser hand stop works great. Super easy to install and comfortable to use as a hand stop as well. Great value for the money!

Will not come on.Tried and it will not work.Inserted supplied battery and it will not activate!Help!

I got this on a great sale at Optics Planet. I've just entered the very pricey world of night vision, and I was looking for an IR aiming module. Since I don't make DBAL or MAWL money, I was seeking a less expensive alternative. These were on sale at OP and Viridian is a recognized brand, so figured I should give it a try. For me, the unit itself was a little small. I use a BCM KFG on my AR-style carbines, so I'm no stranger to smaller handstops [vs. broomhandles, AFGs, etc.]. It took some familiarization with the unit to figure out good hand placement so as not to cover up the laser. It took some practice, as with even my pixie-sized hands, my forefinger would naturally fall in front of the sight window. Once I figured out my hand placement and zero, I moved forward.

On to the test phase: I kitted up and proceeded to my personal range at around 11:30pm. There was some cloud cover, so it was suitably dark to play round. The short version is that the range of the laser is almost useless on a rifle. I could clearly see the dot up to about 5-7 meters if I was reflecting it off a wall or a tree. However, anything past that and it was completely indiscernible. I painted my chicken coop, my vehicle, my barn. It didn’t matter. Anything past 8-10 meters and you could not see the dot on anything. I recognize that this isn’t a full-powered DBAL or anything, but I would at least expect it to show up at 25 meters at least. I even ran it along the ground to make sure I wasn’t losing it… I...

The picture show that its grey and green but when it comes in its black and purple. WHICH LOOKED EVEN BETTER. I was super impressed with it! The beam illuminates and its bright! Make sure you have goggles.

It’s smaller then it looks on the website not very big at all and hard to grip also the laser it only good with night vision will not see the laser unless you have night vision.

Not very expensive. Super cool. I don't know of another front stop with laser. The ability to co-witness with my red dot is great. I have about 7 of them now. Not sure how it holds up with higher caliber repetitive force because I haven't used on anything except .22, 9 mm, and 5.56, but it's obviously more of a close range/low energy device anyway

Just what I was looking for. Sleek, simple and effective. Priced right.
