The way that you use your gun in unchanged, but your aiming is faster and more accurate. The pulsating beam is approximately three times more visible to the human eye than a continuous-on beam of the same nominal power. This means that in high-stress situations, your eye locates the beam more quickly and target acquisition is faster in the presence of other distractions. It does cost us more to build the electronics to generate the pulsating beam, but we do it because it makes the LaserMax sight so much more useful in practice. Cloud cover will allow greater visibility.
All laser sights are most effective from dusk to dawn outside or anytime inside.
We encourage customers to rely on traditional sighting methods for daytime target acquisition. All LaserMax laser sights use four watch-type silver oxide button batteries. Replacements can be purchased in shrink-wrapped packages from your gun shop or direct from LaserMax. Results will vary based on individual use. The batteries typically last for 2.5 hours of continuous use, but most customers replace them about once a year.
