O-like Focusable Red 200mW Newstyle or Oldstyle?

[Mo13]

I have already ordered an "oldstyle" pointer from the site (I think they look cooler). But is there any difference between the two other than looks? I'm starting to wonder if I may have made a bad choice in ordering the old-style pointer (Far right).

I have the old style and love it. I prefer the look of the old style too. Sleeker looking then the new style. I use it all the time and never have had a problem with it.
Output on mine measures 217mW (with 3.6 CR2) Add a glass lens to boost that by 10 to 20 % (have not done to mine yet, but plan to.)
With a steady hand and using the 3.6 CR2 batteries I can pop balloons at 40 feet.
Lights matches in less then 2 seconds.
When you get it remove the focusing lenses and wrap 1 or 2 turns of teflon tape on the threads.
This smooths out the focusing and helps keep the setting firm.(if you bump it)
It will also protect the threads from wear.
Don't regret your choice, you will love it!!

Thank you, Green. That's exactly the kind of response I was hoping to hear. You answered my question perfectly-a feat many people in these forums seem unable to do. How long did it take you to recieve your laser? I live in Sarasota, Florida, so it should take the same amount of time.
