I found this on Gunbroker and had to have it. Got to shoot one at a LE event at LAPD Academy in the early 80's. Gun dates to 1978. Unfortunately the laser is currently non functional.

The first indication a bad guy should have that I'm dangerous is when his
disembodied soul is looking down at his own corpse wondering what happened.
Took me a second to notice the pistol sights on top of the laser.
Brigitte Nielsen used this revolver in Beverly Hills Cop II.
We had one of those at the gun shop where I worked. It sat in the case forever because the laser would not function. I forgot what it ended going for, but I should have bought it just to put in the safe!
Those are Uber cool to us "teen's in the 80's" crowd.
I wonder if someone could re-gas those laser tubes?

That takes me back.
We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......
I recall an old gunzine picture of a guy shooting a gun with an even larger laser, wearing goggles to filter for the beam in daylight.
I am still waiting on L. Neil Smith's "Zeiss-Walther" laser pistol; or his "Webley Electric" Gauss gun.

What sticks out in my memory was Lafrance (I think) subcompact 1911’s. Also Beretta 93 with the fold down grip
After the third look, I finally saw the revolver.Brigitte Nielsen used this revolver in Beverly Hills Cop II.
I was at Gunsite for the 250 class in 1980. During a night shoot, one of those MKIII revolvers and a Ruger Mini-14 with that LASER, were brought out for the Col., staff and students to have a look at. I most remember that big battery back on the bottom of the Colt grip. I couldn't imagine that a LASER could ever be practical on a handgun. LASERs sure have come a long way..
