Why You Need Laser Sights

Sights have been around for a long time. Almost since the invention of hand-held weapons, there's needed to be a way to aim them. This was noticed almost immediately with firearms. The first sights were simply a bead front sight and a notched rear sight. While not the best, they got the job done, especially at close range, which in the beginning of hand-held firearms was most often the case. Over time, sights have undergone a lot of tweaking. Until today, most firearms use the Patridge system, which has a flat-topped pillar for the front sight and then a rectangular notch for the rear sight.

RailScales offers our LEAF-DBAL Fixed Iron Sights to be used with DBAL lasers, as well as our Ampule RDS Tool, which is a red dot optic and laser adjustment that fits multiple lasers. Below, we'll take a look at some of the reasons you should invest in laser sights, as well as our Ample Red Dot Sight Tool for your AR-15 and other firearms. Visit our site, and shop online today!

REASONS TO INVEST IN LASER SIGHTS

Portable

Most laser sights are aftermarket firearm attachments that you can attach to your gun, although some are built-in. These small devices put a laser beam on your target. This is where the bullet will go when the trigger is pulled. Being portable, they are easy to take on or take off, depending on your needs. Whether you are in a shooting competition or just practicing on the range with friends, having a red dot laser sight is handy. Our Ampule Red Dot Optic and Laser Adjustment Tool is just as portable. With this tool, you can take it with you wherever you go. It comes with an attached keyring, so you can hook it to your keys, your backpack, or to any other place a keyring can easily attach, even your coat jacket. This laser adjustment tool is machined out of 7075 Aluminum for toughness and longevity. Take both with you for a fun day on the range!

Improves Firing Speed

When you invest in a red dot and laser sight, you'll notice a considerable increase in the speed with which you find your target. They are used considerably in shooting competitions where speed is a huge factor. After all, you put the red dot where you want your bullet to go and pull the trigger. Plus, red dots are in the same plane that you are aiming at, making it easy and simple to aim them. Another great thing about using red dots that helps with speed is that they are best used with both of your eyes open when firing. This is a huge help when transitioning between multiple targets, too. Our Ampule Red Dot Optic and laser adjustment tool can help to ensure your firing speed is up to par every time.

Provides Eye Relief

If you shoot for a considerable amount of time in the field, you will be doing a lot of squinting and shooting with just one eye open. This can quickly lead to eye fatigue of the eye that is truly doing all of the work of seeing. Plus, having your eye so close to your firearm can cause and contribute to eye fatigue as well. Thus, red dots allow the shooter to mount them forward on their firearm. This helps to eliminate the scope impacting the shooter's eye during a recoil scenario, and it also lets the shooter utilize their peripheral vision, which is important in any type of situation when using a firearm, such as hunting or self-defense. When you are on the range, having our Ampule Red Dot Optic and Laser Adjustment Tool can help you to have your red dot right where you want it and need it the most.

Increases Your Learning Curve

Learning to shoot can be challenging. Just like any skill you wish to develop, such as playing the piano or practicing handstands in gymnastics, it takes time to learn and master. When you invest in a red dot and laser sight, you'll hit the target more. The more you hit the target, the less frustrated you will become, and the more you'll shoot. You'll also enjoy shooting more, so you'll practice more. Research has shown that your brain only learns when you actually hit the target. Therefore, if you use a red dot sight to hit the target more, you'll learn faster, which will only make you that much better, sooner — making shooting rewarding and fun. Always be on target with RailScales' Ampule Red Dot Optic and Laser Adjustment Tool. Order today!

Helps in the Heat of the Moment

While some shooting situations are planned, calculated, and controlled, others are not, such as for self-defense instances. If you are in a life or death situation, your heart will start pumping fast, your adrenaline will flow, and you'll likely only have moments to react. When you have a laser sight on your handgun of choice, you can aim the gun and fire without a second thought, which in survival situations may be the difference between life and death. With the prevalence of night vision, laser devices have become a must have item when putting together an AR-15. Having a laser device on the end of your rifle bumps the front sight out of the equation, but with the LEAF for the DBAL and PEQ-15 units you get that front sight back and a out of the box zero of 50/200 meters to make zeroing optics and lasers much faster and easier.
