What does it means by "Laser Sight Target Dot"; does it projects some kind of a laser beam?. Thanks

After you installed it, there is an Cross-hair to help you increase the aiming speed, accuracy and percentage of hits.

It is designed for sudden quick shots when you don't have the time to flip up the covers. The way it works is that you shoot with both eyes open. The weaker eye feeds the brain the target image which then transfers the image to your dominant eye which can see the dot thru the clear lense. So basically you can line up the dot on target with your dominant eye using the target image from the weaker eye. You do have to have both eyes open for it to work. It is quite accurate in a pinch.

The laser doesn't project heat, it's the same as laser pointer, just puts a little dot on an object.

It is pretty much instantaneous. Just pull the trigger and the reading appears. If you keep holding the trigger and move the laser dot around, the reading continuously updates and also remembers the peak value. I like this model because the 1 inch per foot diversion of the beam was the narrowest beam that I could find and it can easily take readings within 1 foot as well as from several feet away. Someone else mentioned problems with shiny surfaces. My experience is this is true for metals. The problem can be solved by placing a piece of masking tape on the surface or painting the surface flat black. I don't run into this issue very often. It is pretty much instantaneous.

The laser should project a small dot at close range and a marginally larger dot at distance.

I think you have it on backwards. The laser projects onto a reflector in the middle. You can see the small dot on the side if you look at it at the right angle. Just make sure the the big dial is to the front.

I believe you're talking about LIDAR or infra red guns which project a beam of invisible infra red light. According to my manual this detector it does detect this type of signal.

Yes, their is actually a dot present in the center of the crosshairs when the red dot is not emitting light. In other words, you do not need to have to reticule lit in order to acquire a target.

I could not zero in with mine. Returned back to supplier. Amazon and the supplier provided timely response. Not much luck with lasers. Looks like scope and red dots are much easier to mount and reliable.

Yes it can. This is not like a red dot/holographic sight. There are normal crosshairs that have the ability to be illuminated.

its not a laser, it's only a red dot, and the switch is mounted on the unit. the red dot is only visible within the scope.

You chamber it into your rifle barrel as if it was a bullet. It shines a laser through your bore and out the muzzle. You put it on something "x" amount of yards away and you set your scope to the dot so that your scope is sighted.

focus on the target, not the dot. it should be clear then. if not, send it back for a replacement.

I believe it is: Light output: 60 Lumens. Per my prior review: "This light gives a tight circle to at least 40 yards [120ft]. I was able to identify a test subject at that distance on a moonless night. From testing, it appears that shooting at the center of the light circle will get you close for the "kill" at 20-40 ft., or further, (as it appears that on a full size Glock, the light is centered at some distance from the factory). It is not a laser, but in the "heat of combat" it should suffice if you shoot in the center of the light, (assuming that your light is close to center on the target). This should be sufficient in a dark house. I love this light. Much better than a Mag Light, (which I love). I know some may have a negative comment, but in the heat of the moment, a criminal will be heading for an exit and will be jumping for joy that you did not hit him. Same as a laser. If he stands still long enough for you to draw a bead on him with a laser, he is either STUPID or you are just lucky. I would rather know I can shoot into the center of the light beam and have a great chance of a "hit" in a SHTF situation. For what it is worth....

the dot will move in the sight as you move your head around while looking through. I've been practicing bringing the gun up to the same spot on my cheek everytime. seems to work well that way.

hey it projects a solid line with the spinning laser. im not an expert on laser levels but I really do like this one. I bought a tripod to go with it.im a cabinet maker and im working in an old old very settled house. it was great for marking lines around the room to take measurements from. I am happy with it.

Unlike a laser or red dot sights (reflex), the holographic image projects no forward light onto the target and thus no position revealing light. The projected reticle is only visible by the operator. The operator remains completely hidden downrange even against night vision systems.
