Matt Johnson: I think a lot of people are missing the point of this product. This is NOT for absolute zeroing. This is to get you in a reasonably close ballpark to save you time and rounds when you go to the range and precision zero your gun.

It's a bright red laser and it lined up well with the iron sights on my pistol. I used it to get a ADE red dot sight pretty darn close to zeroed.

Other reviews have mentioned that it doesn't cycle properly. I had 0 problems loading it into the mag and cycling it on a Canik TP9 Elite SC.

It's absolutely worth the price for the time (and rounds) this will save you versus going the traditional route and zeroing your red dot sight entirely by firing.

Thomas C: After reading reviews on the various cartridge lasers, I decided to take a chance on this one. It works perfect.
Three tiny batteries go into the base of the cartridge and screw it tight to turn it on. It produces a bright, small red laser point on the wall from across the room. Since mine is a 9mm cartridge, I rolled it along the table and the laser tracked in a straight line. If the laser had been off-center, it would have displayed a speed-bump pattern along the wall. (This test won't work with revolver style cartridges with a protruding rim unless you hang the rim off the side of a flat surface such as a table or a book laying flat.)

I tried it out on three handguns. On my first handgun I dropped it into the chamber and lowered the slide, but the slide didn't want to close all the way (go into battery). Despite a previous reviewer's warning not to slam the slide home, I slingshoted the slide and it close all the way using the energy of the recoil spring. The laser lined up perfectly (with my iron sights) from across the room. I was able to eject the laser without a problem. On the second handgun I had the same issue -- the slide wouldn't close all the way until I let...

Midwest Mike: To start with the 9mm bore sight laser did not come with a plastic sleeve for the 3 little batteries and therefor they went dead. I contacted the seller and they said I needed to go buy new batteries and offered no other options. I bought new batteries and made a sleeve out of scotch tape so the batteries did not short out on the case and the laser came on. The dot the laser made seemed not right. It was an oval instead of a dot. It was about 1/16" by 1/8" at 2 feet. I wondered how true it was so I chucked it up in a drill that I knew had a good chuck. As it spun around it made a circle on the wall about 3" diameter at 30 feet away. I rechecked it a couple more times spinning it about 120 degrees and it had the same 3" dia circle. Price was pretty good, but all the parts should have been there to start with so the batteries didn't go dead. Include the extra battery, cost, time and trouble and I should have bought a more expensive bore sight with a possible better quality, so it goes...

Anon: I'm not sure what other folks are doing with this thing that's causing all the issues with fitment, but in my Canik TP9 Elite SC?

Works great.

1. Gently unscrew the back, place the first two batteries inside, place the last in the unscrewed back cap, then (again, gently) screw it back on. Boom. Light.

2. I just popped it into an empty mag, threw it in, and racked. "Round" entered the chamber with zero difficulty and produced a laser light out of the barrel.

3. Lined up my irons first and it appeared to be pretty much dead on- but after adjusting the red dot to match, it seems to be very slightly off.

4. Finished up. Threw the slide back and the "round" ejected with no problem.

This boresighter isn't here to give you a PERFECTLY CALIBRATED sight set up. It's to get you set up in a good position to jump off of for proper zeroing in at a range.

If you don't actually go shoot, but just use this? Will it let you nail things from like 6 feet away? Of course. Hard to miss from that range. But if you're planning to be shooting stuff that's 25 yards out? Maybe take the time to actually put some rounds in.
