"wait. 10-15 yards = 3-4 meters - that from a 45! isn't it the bullet of the taurus raging and deagles?? aren't they supposed to be powerful?!? Sorry for the ignorance, but I never handled a gun before... :'-(
yep, I meant max 5 meters, not more. Thanks!"

"the desert eagle is probably best known for its original chambering in .44 magnum."

"The Taurus Raging Bull is a five shot revolver chambered in .454 Casul, which was one if not the most powerfull handgun on the market for some time. It will also fire .45 Long Colts. The last time a shot my cousin's, I drove a .454 copper HP all but a few inches through a railroad tie at around 25 yards.

Thanks to Hollywood, most people recognize the Desert Eagle in .50 Action Express(unlike the movies, it usually only holds 5 rounds in a magazine). The Desert Eagle' chamberings used to include; .357 Mag, .44 Mag, .45 Cor-Bon and the .50 AE."

"just practice with iron sights, a lot.

iron sights are just simply hard to beat under most circumstances. even using low light inserts. I can load an 8 round mag and 1 in the chamber of my p220 and put 3 center mass shots into three targets at 10 yards in a hair over 1.6 seconds.

it's a great party trick when teaching pistol courses too.

nothing will ever replace training the basics. that is what will make using anything to augment your firearm effective. a laser sight will not make you shoot better, faster, or farther. it will give you a capability to sight in targets under less common circumstances and will help you to pinpoint specific targets understress. but, if you aren't to good to begin with its just a gizmo."

"With the laser I owned, I set it for about 10-15 yards after the bullet started to drop from my .45. Everything else was pretty much a guaranteed hit. This caused the point of aim for my laser tstrapless below the rounds closer up, but was easy to accommodate for. At that range, light dispersal could be a problem. "

"Good point, there's the deterrent there too.

I say they'd be good for snap shooting, not much else IMHO "

"I wouldn't recommend using a visible laser with night vision at all ever. A class 3B IR is the way to go if you can get your hands on one, if not Laser Devises Inc. is making a class 1 A IR that we mere peasants are allowed to purchase. The problems arise when the light emitted from the laser reflects off of material around you, even your own weapon, and creates what is called splash and is intensified by the nvg's. It is basically the same as pointing the laser directly at your eyes and it hurts like hell(ask anybody who used a welder with no eye protection what it feels like). Aside from that, you can toast a perfectly good pair of NOD's that way. Some companies make special lenses for use with nightvision and lasers that protects the users retina. Also, black and other dark colors absorb the light from the lasers and makes it damn hard to find the dot. White, and other light colors reflect the beam and gives a crisp clear dot. The dust, smoke, and high humidity also makes it easy for someone to pinpoint your location as well, that's why I would prefer IR lasers on my primary. "
