Read First Before Buy LaserMax LMS MICRO Lasermax Uni Max%C2%AE Micro
This little laser is a great accessory for any rail-equipped automatic pistol or for that matter revolver. Mine holds its zero very consistently and really makes it easy to hit a target so long as the light level is about that of dusk or less. For bright sunshine shooting scenarios you will use your iron sights at more than perhaps 20 feet. Laser manufacturing technology enables the manufacture of small, durable lasers like this one. These lasers are a solid improvement over iron sights under the appropriate light conditions.
One improvement of the Uni-Max Micro over certain other Lasermax units that I have used is that it is very very simple to toggle the laser as between pulsed cycle (about 11 hz). Simply hold the activation switch for about 8 seconds and the laser sight will toggle between pulsed and steady state. I personally prefer the pulsed beam, both for practical reasons and because it about doubles the battery life by halving the duty cycle.
One nice thing about this laser is the activation switch. It is easy to reach, at least on my Ruger SR22, with the index finger. Activate with the index finger and then you can place your finger on the trigger and shoot. Very ergonomic and practical.
On the SR22 this little laser looks integral to the gun. It fits the SR22 perfectly, and produces a bright red dot. This is a practical and useful sighting system.
Plus shooting with a laser is just plain fun! Recommended. RJB.
Fits nicely on my 22lr Sig Mosquito. No issues with vibration. Holds sighting after being removed an reinstalled to clean pistol. Really like the simple slide door to swap the battery out. The 10 minute auto-shutoff is great feature as well, really saves on the battery life. Have placed this on my full size Sig 9Mm and no issues on that either.
BalasHapusThis unit functions perfectly when used for the purpose intended and for which it was designed. It installs easily when the excellent illustrated instructions are followed, and it performed perfectly at the range after the quick install. Only minor adjustment was required, and that was made easy by having the correct tool sent with the unit, and following the instructions. I mounted this on a Walther PPS, 9mm pistol, and it is so small that it all fits well in a CC nylon shoulder holster I had already. The "on - off" switch works well, instinctively, and the "auto = off" function will save the battery life, and it's function is not distracting.
BalasHapusThis is my second Lasermax Uni Micro I purchased from Amazon. That has to tell you something about how I feel about this little unit. I installed the first one following the instructions to use the iron sights for initial alignment. This was put on a Beretta PX4 Storm Sub-Compact. (First time shooting the targeting was perfect.) After 100 9mm rounds fired at the range the unit was only slightly off the original setting which they say is to be expected.
BalasHapusThe second unit was placed on a Springfield 45 XD with a 4 inch bbl. This unit did not deviate one iota after 100 rounds fired at the range. Now don't expect this LASER to be visible in bright sunlight, that's what you have iron sights for. In dim light or at night, if you forgive the expression, you will be dead on target.
Its now March 2013 and I just received my third Laser Max and this one has an additional choice, either the normal constant on laser or now a pulsed laser beam. You bet I like the product.
I don't usually do reviews. However this little laser works great on my ISSC M22 pistol. Fit the rail perfect, dialed right in and after over 800 rounds of 22LR CCI mini-mag still holding where I had it set. And it is a real good price. I'll be looking at other Lasermax lasers. Like the guide rod laser for my full size .40 cal. Glock. The only reason I wouldn't use it on my Glock is because I already have a tactical light installed on the rail. Bye, Bye bad guy ... Plus it's designed and assembled in the USA.
BalasHapusThis is a tiny laser for your pistol. I bought it to fit on a newer Glock 19 with a small bottom rail. The intent was to use this in quick close quarters competition. It fits without wiggle on firing. Just remember to tighten the screw once after shooting with small screwdriver. Adjustment is simple. I simply zero at 10 yards with already set sights and line up red dot. Battery included. Easy to change batteries where you need to remember the screw at the bottom is used for elevation NOT to hold the battery in. Simply slide -- with some challenge -- the battery holder out to remove the N battery. Very easy to zero and holds tight. While it is not water proof, it is tiny and bright enough for indoor use. At 25 yards in bright light it is useless where iron sights are fine anyway. Cost performance very hard to beat. I am considering buying another for my home defense .40 Glock although I prefer green.
BalasHapusI had this laser unit for a couple of weeks now on my XDM 45. Holding out pretty good and true under solid recoils after 100 rounds at the range. Only feedback is that laser has to be off to adjust the beam for windage and elevation. If left on, the laser beam just moves randomly after turning the key. By the way it is really small. Takes up only 1/2 of the rail on my 4.5 inch barrel.
BalasHapusI was skeptical about laser sights at first but after research and everyone liking this laser I decided on it. It has lived up to my expectations. I put it on my xd-45 and the recoil hasn't been much of a factor. It bumped it off a little but after a drop of thread lock the laser has been rock solid through over 200 rounds. Hopefully it keeps up. But as far as accuracy the guns shoots amazing. It made a decent shooter into an amazing shooter. If you are thinking about buying a laser sight get this one. Its way cheaper than the rest but its very durable. The only con is that the red laser can be hard to see if you are shooting it in a field during the day. Other than that its been amazing.
BalasHapusJust got delivery of the Lasermax Uni-Max Micro. Have it for a springfield sub-compact. First this thing is small and easy to install. Laser appears to be as bright as it needs to be in low light conditions. In full sun, not as good, but manageable.
BalasHapusAfter install it appeared to be slightly off based on iron sights, did a very slight adjustment and took it out for a couple shots. From about 10 yards away laser was spot on. Will do an update after some more intense shooting, but so far looks like a great purchase. Now need to find a holster that will accommodate pistol with this attachment.
