I just bought this from Huang yesterday, managed to get out and get some batteries for this bad boy today. I knew camera batteries weren't cheap, but $10 each is a bit pricey.

Now to add to this review. I found there to be a master switch and a selector switch. Nothing operates while the master is set to off. I assume the MOM setting is for the tape switch, which I have no need for right now, if ever.

When the master switch is set to on, the smaller switch on the back of the laser can be used to toggle between everything off, laser on, light on, or both laser and light on (in that order).

As mentioned previously, the light is very strong. You can easily light up a smaller room with it. The laser is equally powerful and bright(better damn well be with 6V powering it). Just to see how far I could see it, I gave it a little test. I happen to have a good view down a street so I targeted the outside walls of a few buildings progressing further down the street. I can get about half a city block or better before I stop caring to try and find it (well outside the pistol's range).

Also as previously mentioned, the light is rather long. I would agree that it is more of rifle light/laser than a pistol light/laser. That being said, I've attempted to fit it on a G19, Beretta, and a 1911. It's too long for the cross piece to fall anywhere near the cross-passage. I've got it clmaped down on the 1911 faily well, doesn't seem to have any sliding issues.

To answer the above question, there are screws to sight the laser, but I'm not sure if they work. The unit actually has a built in screwdriver for adjusting the laser sighting screws. I attempted to sight it but no amount of turning the screws moved the laser. In the end I somehow managed to push the screws in which did move the laser, luckily, to more or less somewhere decent for aiming.

All considered, I'll get by just fine with this (assuming the battery life is decent), it gives the ol' 1911 a pretty badass look, but there are probably better light/laser options out there. Shorter options for sure.
