Hello, and greetings to all. I'm 55 years old....I love Guns, Fishing, Hot Rods, Motorcycles, Optics & Lasers.....been fascinated with Lasers pretty much all my life.
I'm fortunate to have a pretty cool job which among other things, allows me to mess with some pretty decent machines:
Epilog Helix CO2 Laser etchers:

I stumbled across this forum after finally deciding I wanted to learn more and with any luck at all, have something made..even though I'm pretty adept at running graphics programs and laser etching, electronics is way over my head.
I have a couple of El' Cheapo laser pointers, and after reading some forum posts, realized I was waaaay out of my league...What I thought was decent turned out to be total pieces of shit. For yeas I thought that we (USA) had a restriction on laser power... <5mw and only the military had the real goodies. As I'm finding out, even the military grade laser's don't come close to what can be had. Because I cant afford in any shape or fashion, a military Laser Designator, much less the ability to buy one, I'm in search of knowledge....
Reading posts I have found sites that sell BAD ASS and powerful lasers, such as Sanwu & JetLasers.....BUT.....nobody is offering anything in a "Gun Mountable" configuration. In other words, a Laser body that will allow for Windage & Elevation adjustments. I want to be the new "kid on the block" with a laser sight that will paint a target 4 miles away, and burn a Mexican Blackbird up in flames from 50 yards.....you get the idea.
I purchased this "Sight" a few years ago thinking it was the shit:

Needless to say, K-Y Jelly was not included...only 36 grit.........
God Bless everyone, God Bless the USA, and God Bless Texas.......Rock on.
