Lasermax guide rod review. 650 rounds later. The gun didn’t jam with it installed using 115 gr fmj CCI blazer or 124 gr fmj Browning. The accuracy was tested at 7, 15, and twenty yards with guide rod laser only vs irons. Here’s the irony. I shot better with irons and another user shot better with laser??? Guys figure that one out: lol. We noticed I was dipping muzzle low while dry firing laser. 3mm to 1/8”. For me at twenty yards it was a train wreck on the laser side of things... The other shooter did cool with laser at 15 yards better than irons and offered to buy my gun which I told him to go buy his own. When using laser we used the range lane splitter as like a corner obstacle freehanded in awkward positions. (Something where using irons exposes more of your body)...
I’m not saying it was a waste of money, but at this point I’m not saying it was worth the money. What I will say is as a training aid it allows to see how you screw up at longer ranges with minute like precisions in various grips or trigger errors. And also shooting a handgun laser only feels extremely freaking weird when not using irons, not doing arms extended, but doing exactly that weirdness allows laser to be used when irons can’t be used. To me it feels like there is a laser learning curve for sure. Basically I need more 309 batteries and rounds downrange to judge it better. You feel more situation aware than just focusing on front sights of irons when using laser only. The con is any user grip/trigger errors will wildly screw with your elevation point of impact at the 15/20 yard zone even though the dot is exactly center of target. Windage seemed fine and not drifting even after that many rounds. Other laser owners comment their systems non lasermax lost zero after four rounds. Ugh. Okay wall of text aside here was my experience. First time trying a laser on a handgun. Usual was 45 round groups. Please Excuse the multiple posts and long winded rant.
Its good to have options including the Sig 320 X5.
