Which describes your philosophy on sights for a home defense handgun, rifle, or shotgun? See Poll.
Irons or No-Battery 1X Optics only, such as reflex sights using ambient light/tritium
Even with my 70 year old eyes I can still shoot fair without glasses using the (Crimson Trace) laser.My 40+yo eyes aren't so great with plain iron sights anymore so I like the various sorts of high-visibility sights.
Lasers sound like a good idea as long as you don't rely on them as a crutch instead of learning to shoot well.

+1, excellent vid. I had no idea there was so much to consider when using them.Call Crimson Trace and ask for their free catalog and DVD "Shots in the Dark".
The DVD is a must see for all laser users.

I hope that you understand my concern is for those who use lasers as a lazy-man's substitute for putting in the time and effort to learn marksmanship in the first place rather than as an enhancement in less than favorable conditions.
All my (HD) guns have iron sights AND lasers. I use iron sights in daylight and only count on the lasers in low light and maybe indoors.Guys, if you have a laser AND iron sights, then vote Iron Sights, NOT "Other". The Iron sights option does NOT preclude also having a laser as a secondary/backup.
