It would help potential sellers, to know where you are located, and also what your budget is like ;) (2W can range quite a bit depending on the host, diode, etc,.)

I have 4 lasers all around 1w-1.4w i have 4 pairs of safety glasses and i know laser safety. But i do live in the U.S so its hard for me to get lasers with better power.

There really aren't a lot of options over the power of what you already have. I think you'll need it custom built. But good luck finding somebody who will build for a member with only 2 posts. It just wouldn't be responsible on their part.

See my signature... I refer people to be safe with every post ;)

With regards to safety, while agree, let's face it, there isn't really all that much difference between a 1W laser and a 2W laser... if you screw up you're in trouble either way.

I have a very nice 2.4W laser I wouldn't mind selling, but a lot of money went into it.

It was originally a regular 1.2W Lazerer rifle 445nm.

It was then completely gutted, and rebuilt by Lazeerer. The diode was replaced by a very good m140, a custom copper heatsink was also added, as well as a g1 lens, and one of lazeerers drivers with modes.

The laser now does ~2.4W at peak on startup, dropping to 2W only after a couple of minutes, which is a very good run time, considering it's size. You can see it in action in this thread:

http://laserpointerforums.com/f52/c...test-uvex-s0360x-ultra-spec-2000-a-73484.html

Just in parts it cost quite a bit, original laser was $170, new diode $50, new g1 Lens $57, heatsink, driver, module.

Prior to the 9mm development, I wouldn't have considered selling for under $500.
