LaserLyte Secures Patent for Center Mass Laser Sight

1. “How many people who put laser sights on their gun get the general concept of controlling the bouncing dot (now dots) under pressure and train for it? Not many. Are standard sights better if you don’t?”

   Train with the sights, then add the laser. once you’ve got muscle memory on your presentation, when you add the dot, there’s no hunting for it. You know where it will be within a couple of inches. It turns point-shooting into fast-aim, with your irons as backup.

   All that said, the Center Mass laser is something else entirely, and seems optimized for point-shooting from the hip. It’s a totally different application.

2. It isn’t the laser that yanks your shot. The laser just shows that you did. At least with a laser, a person may actually aim the gun in the first place rather than bring it up and shoot. I only use my sights for ranges longer than 10 yards anyway.

3. I bought one of the smaller, pistol models (it was the only one I could find at the time) for my Saiga 12 bullpup but could never get the thing to adjust anywhere near the aim point of the gun. I’m not saying it wasn’t any good… but it wouldn’t work for me.

4. I don’t run a laser on anything I own but have been tempted to buy one. Would gladly be a guinea pig in your test. Have had years of shooting targets while on the move playing paintball.

5. The laser per se will not improve your shooting. They don’t turn bullets into laser-guided missiles.

   They are good training aids to show you what you are doing with your trigger control and help teach better trigger control.

   Properly used they can help with point shooting and shooting from unconventional positions.

   They don’t replace iron sights, they are just different.

6. Would be much more interested if it was a true circle but doing a true circle with a laser is a really bitch engineering wise.

   • Eh. Its just the etch pattern on a cover slip.

     Personally I’d go for a big “X”. Line generation is easy and gets the point across.

7. I like the idea of a laser for slow, precision shooting. For sudden dynamic combat, I don’t like lasers of any kind. For one thing, lasers (which include batteries) have a much higher failure rate than iron sights or point shooting. Of potentially greater importance, a laser can give away your position or element of surprise.

   I think they can be an excellent training aid. Beyond that, no thank you.

8. It looks like a cheap plastic PEQ-2.

9. Due to eye issues I tried out a laser. I already have a background in shooting so it worked well for me. I ultimately went to a red dot on my pistol. My only dislike of lasers are having to use a special holster for my particular guns. Lasers are “use within context” accessories. Have good shooting fundamentals THEN add a laster IMHO.

   • “Lasers are ‘use within context’ accessories. Have good shooting fundamentals THEN add a laster IMHO.”

     +1 !!!!!

10. This should NOT have received a patent.

    • “This should NOT have received a patent.”

      +100

      They’ve been selling similar screw-on lenses that produce heart/flower/star/smiley face etc. shape patterns with those $4.99 keychain lasers sold at gas stations for 15+ years. Why is it now a unique patentable concept?

11. So, if you were in a confrontation with someone and they pulled a gun of knife, would a laser showing up in their face panic them. Lasers are not a dot to the recipient, you can see them several feet off the centerline if they are pointed in your direction.

    Intimidation. . . . . I’d move if someone were pointing it at me in a gun or knife fight.

    • I am trying to get a patent on a laser/light combo that also broadcasts the sound of the pump action of a shotgun to go on a .380.

    • If they’re close enough to pull a knife, the laser probably isn’t going to help. You’re going to need to shoot – immediately. The guy that is going to threaten you with a knife is going to get as close as he can before you see it.

      An idiot with a gun, on the other hand, just might reconsider his career choices if he sees that little red dot drift across his center mass.

      We own a couple of lasers, specifically in case we need to confront looters. I’d rather not have to shoot someone, and the laser makes having to shoot them that much less likely.

12. Lazers are distracting.

    • Is that you kitty cat?

13. forget that laser…2 thru the door just like ole’ uncle joe said…LOL

14. I don’t see Jerry Miculek rocking a laser. They certainly have their uses, such as in Tasers and laser designation, but I’ll pass for my self defense rig.

    A good light with a central hotspot, on the other hand, is awesome for low light shooting.

    • Agree. With NV gear a good IR light and NV-capable EOTech suffice. No chasing the far-off dot. In ambient but low light, a good gun light well-adjusted to put the hot spot where it belongs….and fast sighting device …suffice. I do like visible lasers for checking pistol trigger control, with somebody standing behind me to tell me what the dot did through the last instants of the shot.

      I can see value in the NV gear/IR laser pair under some circumstances, but can’t think of a situation in which I could use those but also invoke my right to use lethal self-defense. If culling laws allow in one’s jurisdiction, that’s different, perhaps.

15. For some of us OFWG’s, a laser shows us just how shakey our hands are now.

16. Was it just me, or did it look like he was jerking to the left on every shot? Seemed to me the laser circle moved abruptly to the left on most of his shots & sort of bounced back as the sound of the shot occurred. I’ll watch it again later, but at first glance it seems like this dude needs some dry-fire practice with that laser thing.
