re: Who here has a laser on their conceal carry weapon?

Karl Rehn did a study (2-3 years ago) of handgun shooters using lasers (red and green), red dot sights and conventional iron sights. All were used at varying distances.
Conventional iron sights were consistently faster and more accurate. I was one of the participants (during one of Tom Givens' defensive handgun classes that was held at Karl's facility).
I wonder if this has changed. More people get red dot mounted pistols each year and apparently it is faster as long as you train to not "fish" for the dot. A lot of people add unnecessary movement in their drawstroke to search for the dot but with training I have seen people pull off insane speed.

Took me a little while to transition to a red dot. If you look at the competitive shooters, I would think they are all using a red dot and that would not be the case if it made them slower. Just a matter of taking time to make the change.

After I finished my runs with the different systems, I looked at Karl and said something to the effect of, "Man it's hard to find the dot. I'm looking too high." Karl replied by saying, "Everybody has that problem."
So I don't doubt what he said about devoting a lot of time to practicing with the RDS. You can take to the bank just about anything Karl says about handguns.
When I used to shoot Nick's PPC matches in Gramercy there was a fairly large contingent of guys shooting with RDS mounted pistols, and they were consistently the top shooters.
