On a pistol where the supressor blocks the sights they are pretty handy. I am pretty indifferent about them otherwise.

I use lasers in two situations. My EDC LCP has one. Darned gun really has no iron sights.
Intended use is self defense at "OH SH!T" distances. In low light the laser may have some
intimidation value, and it allows me to focus on what's in front of me rather than on what's
in my hands.
RMR and Lasers are a substitute for proper training.
Question. How do you know the laser is holding point of aim and not the scope? Not only that, bullets don't fly like lasers point.I have AR,s with laser / light combos, use the laser to verify that the scope has not shifted or to verify point of aim if scope has been removed and replaced.
Have a rifle that has already been sighted in (irons or scope) that you want to mount or change scopes on? Mount a laser first co-witness it to existing sights / scope, than mount new sights or scope and co-witness to the laser. Verify at range, usually only need very minor adjustment if any.

Lasers point exactly like iron sights and scopes. A 50 yard zero from laser, irons, or optics will place the same load in the same spot at any range. Im surprised you don't understand that. The relationship between your eye and iron sights and scopes are as unaffected by gravity as lasers are.
Hold "over" is pretty natural and autonomic.Holdover was the first thing that came to mind.
But I am not a big fan of self parking cars, either.
So you can see your laser at 50 yards?
That's one hell of a holdover - or under...
Pretty sure KJ was referring to bore axis heights and POI being so extreme with a pistol length barrel at distance.
