It can be a good training tool for those with or without good mobility.In all seriousness my dad had a laser on a couple of his guns including his shockwave. He could use/aim the laser from his wheelchair. In that instance, I fully supported and understood the laser. But for people with full mobility I think its a gimmick. I've seen members at our range target practicing with them and they chase the bouncing dot all over the place instead of using normal shooting skills. It really makes them a worse shot.
Newbs, or those that don't shoot a lot especially .
If you see the dot wondering, you're gripping wrong. You can even see the dot pull left or right, if your eyes are young enough, as you pull the trigger.
Id challenge you to get a grip activated one for your carry gun if your holster would allow. Practice first shot on target with and without the laser against a shot timer. I bet you'd improve. Then once you're good, take it off and see if you stay the same or get slower. It will help you if you let it.
For those with mobility issues, it is their aiming device.
For those without, I believe it's a great tool to help illustrate where one might need more practice. That or used in correlation with known skills to assist in being faster.
I do agree, they are no means to aim for those that can properly learn good shooting skills as a stand alone aiming device.
