Another issue with lasers I have noted is that if you are accustomed to one level of brightness on the range against paper targets, but experience varying (often lower) levels of brightness in “real life” as the beam encounters varying levels of ambient light and surface reflectivity, the difference can be jarring enough to cause significant delays in mental processing.
Even more delay may be caused by trying to decide on the fly whether to use the laser or sights, especially if iron sight alignment is “hard wired” into your “subconscious.”
I think the best use of lasers, especially given their high cost, is in situations where irons sights are essentially unavailable, such as for people with vision issues, or using NODs, or wearing a pro mask, or shooting little guns with exceptionally crappy sights, like on most j frames. Or for non dedicated personnel who are unlikely to use sights under stress in any case.
