I have tried the CT products on the store demos. What I found out is that if I index where I normally do, I light up my right index finger. Although this could be considered a training issue for using lasers, I wouldn't probably use a CT product without a lot of retraining to use a slightly lower index point of the weapon. IMHO, a laser of some sort would be a good tool for teaching trigger control IF the shooter can keep his/her eye on the front sight and note whether or not the bright red dot way out there moves appreciably during dry fire practice. Should it be the only method used? nope. I've never used one... and I actually shoot pretty well using good old iron sights.

IMHO, if it's going to be used as a training adjunct, the shooter should learn the basics first and foremost and just as with focusing on the front sight and the target being a bit fuzzy, the dot should be too... you'd be looking for movement and peripheral vision is great at that task.

That all being said, I'm not a trainer, and I don't use a laser either. They have their place though... but not on my weapons!
