Lasers that project a dot can be helpful. Red dots on pistols is not the future, its now. Tha common mistake that people new to red dots on pistols make is trying to "find" the dot. Its there, same place every time. Its your presentation of the pistols fault, not the dot. Reps are the key to any presentation of a pistol. Modern Samurai Project says about 1,000 reps. I'm way faster putting rounds on target with a dot on a pistol. You have to untrain the mantra of front sight and focus on the target not the front sight.
