This episode of the GUNS Magazine Podcast, presented by Kimber, delves into the controversial topic of weapon-mounted lasers. Host Brent T. Wheat, along with GUNS Publisher Roy Huntington and American Handgunner Executive Editor Tom McHale, discuss the pros and cons of using lasers on firearms. They explore the intended purpose, practical application, and the importance of context when considering these accessories, offering experienced yet subjective opinions on whether lasers are a beneficial tool or a liability.

Handgun lasers offer benefits for untrained shooters, low-light conditions, and specific tactical scenarios like shield use or signaling. However, they can be slower than red dots, prone to battery failure, difficult to see in daylight, and reveal the shooter's position. Mounting and zeroing can also be problematic with certain designs.
