Lasermax guide rod laser for Springfield XD

Sort of a review of the LaserMax guide rod laser which I installed on my Springfield XD40 sub compact. I know I missed a couple of things and I'm a little shaky with what I'm saying but I think you get the idea.

Probably if you wouldnt have called them and called their product Stupid! They would have taken you seriously. Its the way you talk to people that gets results, Not insulting them. By the way i have had That Lasermax Product , You Know the one with the Stupid Plastic Cap on my Gun for the past 7 Months. I havent had any problems. Good luck to you.

@babyface10725 I called them and spoke with a very nice man who gave me their address and was very good at helping me. I was perfectly polite to them and said absolutely nothing about anything being "stupid."

I'm not an idiot. But Thank You for assuming I am.

hey Ryan... what's the status. After the repair, are you seeing any issues?

[ryanintopeka]

@BinaryAvenger I still haven't been able to get to the range. this week I will though.

have you heard anything yet i am looking into lasermax or crimon trace i wanted to get feed back.......

[ryanintopeka]

@spikeramirezjr I got it back the other day- they replaced the springs, tested it and say it worked just fine for them. I've re-installed it on my XD but I haven't tested it myself to make sure it works yet, but I see they also sent me an extra plastic cap which was sort of funny but nice of them at the same time.

Either way, better to have some type of laser over nothing at all IMO. Good video and conversation starter.

[medicff0879]

Nice video. I had the same problem and sent it in for repair a year after buying it. I personally do not like it, mainly due in part to the blinking laser. To me, it is somewhat of a distraction over a "normal" steady dot from other products. I have crimson trace on my S&W M&P 45, as well as S&W J Frame .38, at the time I ordered this I do not believe they had a grip for the sumcompact? Been about two or so years ago? EIther way, if I could get a refund and go with CT, I would in a heartbeat.

@spinball6 For the record, it would technically be "I'm L-ing O L at your stupidity.... Now I'm finished.

[MrLooseSkrews]

@spinball6 Also, agreed that it is a major design flaw. I can't tell you how many times I have advised customers to go with Crimson Trace if you truly want l laser on your firearm. Lasermax is an interesting concept, due to the fact that it does not alter the appearance of your weapon, but I have never advised installation, nor installed one of these things in anyone's pistol.

[MrLooseSkrews]

@spinball6 Wow. Thank you for all the enlightening info... I am about as close to Glock Armorer as you can get without actually being certified, and am more aware than you seem to realized of how a polymer pistol functions. It was a joke. I'm now LOLing at the fact that you make such profound assumptions about a person based on a silly YouTube comment on a year old video. Best wishes. -Josh

PS- If you take this as a start for a flame war, the remainder of your comments will go without reply.

@MrLooseSkrews No metal touches the plastic on a polymer gun during a cycle. The slide operates on a metal guide. Plastic being impacted by metal is a fundamental design flaw which is shown in this video and lasermax's failure to design a metal backing for the rod. Polymer pistols have been made for a very long time are are extremely reliable. Most rifles use plastic for their stocks as well. I'm LOLing at your stupidity.

[MrLooseSkrews]

Isn't half of your gun made of plastic as well lol...??

[gasdorf]

@ryanintopeka that kinda money you could bought nightvision

[gasdorf]

simple flash light is cheaper ..

[demmylowther]

I'm not looking at all at the responses but doesn't a co. offer rear sights with a built in lazer that wouldn't effect anything.One side is the lazer the other is the battery ? If I bought THAT and seen that the part that takes alot of wear and tear is plastic,I wouldn't of never tried it,back to the co. it goes and a credit on my Visa.
