Just got one.

Good unit. As bright as any - which means not great in broad daylight outdoors. I don't need a laser outside in broad dayllght. Bright daytime indoors... the unit is plenty bright. Lots of adjustment in the beam. I was able to easily set it coincide with the iron sights on my FNX-45 at about 30something feet. That puts it "off" by only an inch or two at very close range - where it really doesn't matter. Paddle on/off is just what I wanted. Perfect, Good actuation too. It won't get turned on or off accidentally. Easy mounting... four rail apacers that place the unit incrementally forward/back on the rail notch. I slammed the slide home about a dozen times, its not recoil, but the beam didn't wander in relation to the sights. And the unit is very small... would easily fit on a small pistol with even minimal rail length.

This unit would work on just about any sort of rail... pistol, rifle or shotgun.

I like it. I intend it for the house/truck pistol, and can call the laser into use if need be in dark conditions.

And there ya have it. If anyone wants a picture or two, ask and I'll post some.

I have the same CT on my bedside Glock 23 and really like it a lot! I agree with your review of it and in broad daylight outside it can be hard to see but all other conditions it is plenty bright!

Thanks. I've been wondering about these for use on my PX4. Sounds like it would work nicely.
