DX FirePoint 250 mW - any good?

[Benm]

I was wondering if anyone here owns a laser like this one:

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.13491 (250 mW/$331, higher powers available too).

DX recently re-added them at a lower price, and i'm considering getting one of these lasers provided they are any good at all. I'd like to get some idea of real power output, and also if the button on the side is a push-and-hold button or a press-on-press-off type.

I don't think anyone has tried these lasers yet, or if they have they didn't review :-?

Perhaps, though not all DX customers leave reviews on the website.

Also, these things used to have a higher price tag until recently, so i hope some reviews will come up now.

If it is under spec, they will let you return it, so it isn't so much of a risk

They are always underspec and it can take months to get reimbursed and end up costing you because you pay the return insured signature required shipping...cha ching!

I'm not that interested in getting one only to return in for being under spec

There seems to be little reviews of these series of lasers though... and if under spec means just a little under spec, there might be nice deals...
