What is a LaserMax® Laser Sight?
Laser gun sights emit a narrow, pencil-like beam
of light. When sighted in, the laser beam indicates where the
bullet will penetrate the target. LaserMax gunsights are totally
internal, so they stay aligned, even in rough conditions. While
LaserMax sights give a tactical advantage, they are also
extremely useful in firearms training. The laser sight can be
used in either live or dry fire conditions to reveal flinching
or anticipation of recoil.
The LaserMax is effective for teaching and
practicing basic skills like AIM-HOLD-SQUEEZE. The pulsating red
dot gives immediate correlation of the iron sight picture with
the point of AIM. The shooter is able to AIM safely because the LaserMax activation switch is on the side of the firearm, in the
position that law enforcement calls Uniform Cover Mode. Aiming
while in Uniform Cover Mode keeps AIM separated from SQUEEZE,
which is taught to avoid accidental discharges. The LaserMax is
also helpful in determining proper HOLD, including how steady
and secure the HOLD is. Jerking is readily visible during
trigger SQUEEZE—and off-line movement is easily diagnosed using
the LaserMax. The shooter gets immediate feedback on his/her
technique, and can learn much more rapidly as a result.
LaserMax is cost-effective and convenient
because AIM-HOLD-SQUEEZE can be practiced and tested without the
use of live ammunition. Dry-fire training and practice can be
done at home or some other indoor space without the need to go
to the range. As the shooter acquires sound technique and gross
motor "muscle memory" through the dry fire routines, he/she can
advance to dry-fire practice at moving targets.
Please note that the LaserMax augments your
firearm’s iron sights, it does not replace them. Remember to
practice and achieve reasonable proficiency with the factory
sights of your semi auto handgun before introducing the LaserMax. |
