Does the R5-shield laser have an ON/OFF button to manually turn it ON and OFF? Or does it only turn ON when the gun is drawn from the holster?

Yes it has a manual button on it to cycle between a solid beam, pulsating, and off.
202542
yes! you can turn it on and off when you want too. It also comes with a holster where you can keep it on while it is in the holster it turns off, when you take it out it come on automatically. Its a nine set-up.

Yes you can manually turn it on and off. It does have an on off button. The button goes from off. to on with a solid laser , then from solid to a flashing laser and then to off again.

Yes, I has a manual on off button on the side. The holster work great if you carry with it, but you will have to use the manual button and one of the 2 modes if carry in a different holster. Very easy to sight in.

It does have a circular ON/Strobe/OFF switch on the left hand side of the unit. Hope that helps.

Yes The R5 has an on-off button. It can turn the laser on with a continuous laser mode or a blinking mode or off. The automatic on mode when drawn from the holdeer is magneticly actuated to turn the laser on when drawn from the holster and off when placed in proximity of the magnet.

Yes it does have an on/off button. When the laser is off you push it once to turn it on. If you push it a second time the laser will strobe. The next push will turn it off.

I think they have redesigned this light- mine arrived today and I charged it up per instructions before first use and just tried it out. The light is trigger operated now instead of the dial control that is mentioned in earlier reviews. Pull the trigger once and it comes on at the brightest setting (really bright), pull it again and it goes to a lower brightness setting which would be good for up close work. The light stays on until you pull the trigger again, so yes, it will stay on until you turn it off.

You need the laser in order to check the temperature of whatever you are checking it won't read with it off and I am not even sure it turns off as once you press the trigger it is activated

Laser can be used with the on/off button located at back of laser or you can install the pressure pad switch. To use the pressure pad switch unscrew end cap of laser ( the part with the on off button) and remove middle button piece from end cap. Slide pressure pad side of cord through hole in end cap from bottom end and pull it through till the round end of cord is flush with the end cap. You should now be able to screw the cap back onto the laser and activate it with pressure switch.

The lamp does have it's own on/off switch. It's just an ordinary lamp without the laser turned on.

Activation for the laser is on both sides. However I've had problems keeping it on the gun even with a recoil reduction spring.

When you want to use the laser, you pop it up and it turns on, otherwise it's turned off

After you put the batteries in (+ side down) you screw the end cap in place and the unit should light up. There is no button to push. If the unit did not come on you more than likely have bad batteries. This outfit ships the cheapest batteries they can find. Suggest you order the Energizer button battery as they will work longer. Keep in mind this unit is el cheapo so don't expect a lot out of it. Get your target and weapon ready to go before putting the batteries in the laser then you need to be fast in sighting it in. Good Luck

I carry mine on a S&W; M&P40c;, in an IWB holster. I generally can "touch" it on when drawing my weapon. Be sure to set it as far BACK on you weapon as the rail allows, and you can reach it with your trigger or middle finger to turn it on when drawing. I have had NO problems with it turning itself on accidentally, even when re-holstering the weapon.

DO NOT buy this product! Protect your investment, spend the extra money and buy a Crimson Trace grip laser instead. My serious complaint with this LaserMax product is the ON/OFF switch. It is not spring loaded. Simply, it slides from left to right. With the slightest pressure while carrying holstered, the laser is activated. After a short time, your battery is dead and you are left without having a laser to use. What is the point of buying a laser if the battery goes dead on you? Re-think this investment; I bought a LaserMax and will never purchase their products again after using a CrimsonTrace on my other LCR -- I own three LCR's. -- in my opinion DO NOT buy this product!

No, you will still need to push the button with your trigger finger to turn the laser on and off after drawing your gun.

As Matthew said it's activated on the front side of the grip and as Willie points out, there is an on/off switch. I also really like mine on a Colt Gunsite 1911. My battery is still good and it's been almost 2 years!

i've had mine for about a year and so far so good. No it won't activate the laser. The holster is a paddle style and is a little big for the front pocket, unless you have big front pockets........

it can be clicked on and stays on or off but need to say when mounted on our Walther P22 there is not much room between on button and front of trigger guard. I have to use my fingernail to turn button on and off.

Yes, it turns it on without pressing trigger but does not spray any paint.It happened on 1st day. I returned it. But my second one works fine, no problem at all. Thanks.

The first press of the button turns on the laser, and you don't have to press the button for more than a moment to turn it on. After about three minutes of being on, the laser starts to pulse to remind you, and it just takes another momentary press to steady the laser for another three minutes.

No. You will need the cord. You may be able to purchase a separate push on/off button for the laser, but it does not come with one.
