I can’t believe I never considered laser engraving as a way to step my holster game up. I’ve always been big into tonal color combos. That engraving appears to just matte the ABS’s regular shiny finish.
I wonder how many holster company biters are going to come out of the woodwork now and jack Jesse’s steez? The apparatus gets blessed, and suckas get put to rest.
Thoughts?
Pretty cool how just because of the way the beam is split, the dot pattern tightens and opens up depending on distance to target just like the spread of a shotgun.
Available over at Laserlyte. The Green laser version is $285 (Actually cheaper on Amazon – $250) and the Red laser version will be available in 2 months for $150 and will fit pistols and long guns.
Oh yeeaaaaaahhh.
Thoughts? How many of you guys are going to pick one of these up? Pretty decent idea for home defense I would imagine, except all that light could might ruin your night vision.

Wow that seems quite powerful for such a small unit.
If he doesn’t already carry the thing around in a Nintendo Zapper Gun Kydex Holster he is doing himself an injustice.
As cool as I think this is, I’m really not interested in going blind so i’ll probably stick to playing things I know more about. I would like to make an XY-Table laser cutter though…
You can check out the DIY instructions with lots of pics over at the North Street Labs website.

I almost wish I still had my Lasermax Glock guiderod laser still to try this out on. That was my main problem with that laser, it would get carbon’d up so quickly rendering it useless.
Any of you guys previously familiar with the tip, and tried it out? Does it work?
The bullet is four inches long and has an optical sensor embedded in its nose for the detection of a laser on its target, Sandia said in a release today. The bullet also has built-in guidance and control electronics that receive data from the optical sensor and then manipulate the electromagnetic actuators. And the actuators use that data to steer small fins in order to direct the bullet directly to its target.
Relevant to my interests.
A Sandia field test demonstrated that the bullet’s internal electronics and battery can survive the rigors of flying from rifle barrel to target. Presumably, they would not survive striking the target.
Full story – HERE
Also check out the Sandia National Labratories Press Release.
Hahha they wouldn’t survive striking the target? What a piece of crap. I demand they be made out of an advanced material, and have electronics that will not even slightly be affected by speeds upwards of several thousand feet per second being stopped instantly when it hits the target. It’s always been my dream to go down range at the end of the day and recover hundreds of little robot bullet carcasses to bring home and reload.

Really guys… Really? Might as well go full retard, extend the barrel, add a shoulder thing that goes up, chrome it, and sneak a low profile knife onto that top picatinny rail.
Seen on the cover of American Handgunner magazine last year too (shown left). Must not be selling too well because they are trying to push it through email. Big surprise.
