[ARCHIVED THREAD] - P22 laser -- Worth the money?

Posted: 1/26/2006 3:22:25 PM EDT

It seems that many people have installed the P22 laser. I've heard that other laser sights have trouble holding a zero. Has anyone had this problem with their P22 laser?

Is it worth the money? How often do you find yourself using it? Is it bright enough to use outdoors in the daytime?

Basically, is it worth spending $100 on this, or should I spend that money on ~4000 rounds of CCI Blazer?

I have one and it is neat, but what I don't get is - you really have to zero it in for a specified distance to get a bullseye. If you go beyond that point you shoot high, and if you go in front of that point you are hitting low. It is a fun little device though.

StormTrooper, if you goto Walmart and pick yourself up a lazer zeroing system (20.00) you can somewhat hold a zero at any distance. First measure from center of barrel to center of gun lazer. Put 2 dots on a peice of paper the same distance. Install the Walmart lazer into the barrel. Hang paper on wall. Stand back about 10ft from paper and put both lazers on dots. Whalla you just have to remember to aim 2 or so inches lower.

In sunlight they vanish like a boat in the Bermuda triangle

Not trying to bust your balls, or anything. But, have you ever studied ballistics?
