ArmaLaser Stingray SR3 S&W Sigma Rail Mount Laser Sight, Black

Most Excellent Laser Sight for S&W Sigma!
Pro's:
The Stingray by ArmaLaser is without doubt the very best fit for your Sigma SW9VE or SW40VE.
This sight does NOT take an adapter, it fits right on your Sigma rail.
On/Off Switch is firm and tight, no slop at all.
Easy to adjust sight with elevation and windage fully adjustable by Allen screw adjustments that stay put once adjusted.
The laser is, bright and tight, red.
All the extra parts, Allen wrenches, screws, extra battery cover screw, nuts, stickers, and cleaning cloth are excellent touches but ... (see cons)

Cons:
No cons on the laser or its operation, none at all! The price is pretty stiff, comparatively speaking, but I'll pay more gladly for "Made in the U.S.A." quality. My package was short both cleaning brushes. I will contact ArmaLaser to see what happened to my brushes. Hopefully they will just send me some out, we'll see.

Other Thoughts:
I have used laser sights on my weapon(s) before but nothing compares...
looks and works flawlessly
very easy to instal. is somewhat tough to adjust but once you get it dialed in, the thing wont move and is dead on accurate. looks great and is very easy to turn on and off.
Works great
This site has a very simple installation with a simple adjustment to zero in your target. Delivery was fast. I give this product the highest recommendation.

Leica Disto D5 Digital Laser Rangefinder with 2.4-inch Screen and 45-degree tilt Sensor

Just short of great
I use the Disto D5 primarily outdoors, which is why I purchased this model. I purchased a set of infrared goggles but the target finder largely eliminates the need for them, which is a good thing.

For straight length measurements using the device hand held is easy enough. If you need to use any of the indirect (Pythagorean) modes a tripod is a must, but not a great inconvenience. So far I have not needed a purchased target, I have used a piece of paper taped to the corner. Accuracy is great, if you hit your target.

My only complaint is that the tilt sensor should go beyond 45 degrees. The few times I have tried the function it has been a limiting factor.
Much More Reliable At Distance Than D3
After spending an hour and a half measuring a large room with a tape, I finally broke down and bought a Leica DISTO D3. While that unit is very well built, compact, and the price was not too painful, I found many problems using it at longer distances and on some surfaces even at shorter distances. The D5 is everything the D3 is and a little more, but is much more reliable at longer (100'+) range. Measurements I was having real problems taking come out no problem, and the color LCD screen is much friendlier to use. I don't need the bluetooth communication capabilities of the D8 or the A series, so the D5 is really the best possible tool for the job. Quick, accurate, very well built, it came recommended by others I trust in my industry and now I know why.

You should be aware that Amazon's price is about $100 higher than this unit can be found for elsewhere. I returned my Amazon-bought D3 as it wouldn't reliably take measurements it claimed to be able to, and upgraded to the...
An Amazing Instrument
I purchased the Disto D5 for laying out foundations for a house I'm building. The D5 is reasonably simple to use. I spent a couple hours playing with it and now feel comfortable using it. I've layed out my batter boards for the foundation to within 1/32 in. accuracy. A level of precision I would have never been able to obtain with a sagging tape measurer. The D5 is compact, and you get a sense of quality when holding it. You simply aim the laser at a surface to be measured and you spot the laser dot or find the item in a cross hair on the LCD screen. The color LCD screen is bright and surprisingly so is the laser dot. Within distances found on a construction site the dot is large enough to see with the unaided eye in full sunlight-surpirse for me. The indirect measurement functions are handy, volume and areas calculations are pretty straight forward. For long measurements 50' or more you will need to steady the instrument (hand shake) and probably could use a tripod. The...

Bushnell Hybrid Pinseeker Laser Rangefinder and GPS Unit

Better than expected
I've had a callaway upro for the past 2 years and was ready for a change. I wanted a range finder instead of gps to get more accurate distances. I also wanted something faster than the upro, it seemed like I spent a lot of time messing around with the upro to get what I needed on the course. But, I didn't want to give up the ability to get distances on blind shots and layup distance on long par 5's. I'm very glad I found the bushnell hybrid. I've played a couple rounds with it so far and love it. The range finder, which I use 90% of the time, is very quick to get yardages and easy to find the flag from 200 in. The GPS is rather sparse, but has everything I need, back front middle and some other elements on certain holes, like a creek. You can also add your own items on courses you play a lot. The gps is very responsive and it moves from hole to hole on its own. The battery on the upro was aweful, sometimes not even making it through the round. While I haven't fully tested the...
Great combination of GPS and Rangefinder
I was looking into purchasing either a Golf GPS or Rangefinder when I ran accross this Hybrid that had both features. Amazon had the price down to $399 at the time so it was hard to resist. I've used it a few rounds and am very impressed. The Pinseeker feature works very quickly and is a snap. I basically point it in the direction of the pin and it finds the distance then displays the Pinseeker icon to verify it's been located. The GPS feature works great for those times I don't need precise yardages. My only complaint it that the GPS never finds my home course and I have to manually input it each time. This was before and after I performed the required connection to igolf for the GPS upgrades. Overall, I'm very happy with this product.
Excellent concept, however....
Got the unit as a gift. I like the concept of having both laser and GPS. When it works it is wonderful. The issue I am having is with the rechargable battery. The battery lasts one round and requires a complete recharge. Its more of a hassle than anything. My Pinseeker 1500 had one of those rectangle batteries and typically lasted up to 6 months. I would get a "low battery" message on the screen and would replace at the end of the round. It was more user friendly than having to plug in the hybrid after every round.

Viridian C5L-R Universal Sub-Compact Red Dot Laser Sight with Tactical Light, Black

small package
I like how it's programmable and that it's pretty light and small, but the mounts are plastic and bend/flex out. If you constantly take it on/off the laser won't hold it's zero. So everytime you put it on you'll have to re-adjust the laser. If it had a better, more solid mounting, it would be better and I would rate it higher. I use this on my XDs at night and take it off during the day when I carry it.
Very illminating
Lots of great functions and advanced settings for the laser and tactical light and works great. I was not concerned about day time operation iron sights are for that. But it does put out well enough, it can be easily seen on a bright day at closer range. I picked the red laser for several reasons. I read that it consumes less energy than the green and in my opinion a little more stealth with the red. It reminds me of red battle station lights used by the Navy.
Fit onto an FNX 40 was a little strange as the 1913 rail was slightly larger than the width of the rail sets provided by Viridian .The instructions did note this and simply said to have them loose while installing. So on it went and snugged the screws. I do not know if this will be an issue seemed to fit tightly with a slight inward bend on the rail sets. To remove it will need to be loosened not only from the cross bolt but at the rail set. Adjustment of the laser is very easy I used a laser bore sight and with the...
Great Unit for the Money
I was initially worried going with the red laser unit over a green laser unit. However once I received it, all worries were put aside. The red laser is plenty strong enough. I can see it in the daylight, it is bright, and it is big. Save yourself some money and don't worry about having the green laser. For over a hundred bucks less, its definitely worth the savings.

Packaging... excellent. I love the little gun barrel/slide tool kit the unit comes attached to in the box. It contains wrenches, adapters, battery, etc. The instructions were pretty easy to figure out and I had the unit mounted and ready to go in less than 10 minutes.

Operation... the ambidextrous finger buttons are easy to get to and I do not have the longest fingers. So far I have yet to have the unit activate in my pocket or under a pillow. There are several modes you can set the unit to on the push of the button. You set this by hitting both buttons at the same time to flip modes. Then...

Bushnell Pro 1600 Tournament Edition Golf Laser Rangefinder

Works great, much better than GPS
Just tested this rangefinder for the first time on the course yesterday, and already it has helped me to shave a few strokes off my game.

I played a local course and took the rangefinder and my golflogix gps. The Golflogix told me I was 120 yards out, the Bushnell said 103. I hit my pitching wedge (normally goes 100) and landed a few yards from the pin.

So long as your approach shot distances are fairly consistent, you'll benefit from not having to guess if the flag is front back or middle.

This particular unit is a little bulkier than some other rangefinders, but I find it very easy to hold onto. Also, the excellent pouch fits easily onto my golf bag, so taking it in and out to use is easy. I was able to easily grab pins under 200 yards instantly. Pins further out take a bit longer. Yesterday I was able to get a pin 353 yards out. An interesting experiment, but well beyond my golfing range.

I decided on this unit over a Leupold for 3...
It Is The Best
I am anal when it comes to making comparisons. Especially if I am buying through mail-order. I will research items for a long time.
When it came to picking a range finder I had it narrowed down to the Leupold GX 1 and the Bushnell 1600. The first comparisons I did were at my house.
The Leupold was small and lightweight,about half the size of the Bushnell. The first thing I noticed was the Leupold had a slight yellowish tint when looking through it. If I didn't have the Bushnell to compare it to (very bright and clear),I probably wouldn't have noticed it. Leupold said it was the coating on the optics. Whatever it is, I didn't care for the tint. I then started taking measurements outside my window. My neighbors house is brick and the Leupold would NOT read the brick at all. I then "shot" their front door and got a 50 yard reading. I then shot their awning which overhangs their door and it wouldn't give me a reading. After the 4th attempt it finally said 52 yards. That's...
Excellent rangefinder
I checked out this rangefinder, Bushnell Pro 1600 Tournament Edition Laser Rangefinder with Pinseeker, against the GPS devices, as well as some of the older Nikon laser devices. This one has wonderful ease of use and accuracy. It gives readings which are very repeatable. It seems to be durable.

I found several things that another user of prospective purchaser might consider helpful:

1. The silicone/rubber surface resists all kind of inks, so that it is impossible to inscribe your name on the outside of the device. I even tried to write my name with a small soldering iron, but the cover even resisted this. Eventually I decided to include a label with my name on it in the battery compartment.
2. The pinseeker feature is excellent for picking up the flag. Using the other setting is helpful in picking layup distances.
3. The battery will become exhausted when you need the...
