My R9 is sightless and I use the slide to aim and consider it a close encounter firearm. Can one really focus on the sights and not the threat under stress? Professionals with continued practice yes, but the common Joe it is questionable.

Which begs the question, why even consider a laser sight on a close encounter gun...half the time you have to search for and focus on the dot especially in bright light, which takes longer even than sighting.
Being I am officially "Out of The Business", I will voice my opinion on small gun laser sights: Asinine and useless item for such a small sidearm.
I have three Crimson Trace laser grips. S&W 66, Taurus 85, and CZ P01. After 10-12 yeas i find they are NOT faster to align. They do have the intimidation factor which is REAL strong if its on someone's chest, within legal bounds of course.
