Hello,
I'd like to add a red dot laser pointer to my home defense piece.
The only one I could find online that meets my criteria of running off AA or AAA batteries is a Holosun LS117R for $270
Which led me down this rabbit hole of DIY lasers.
Does anyone have an idea or links to building a simple red dot laser that meets the following criteria:
5mW, Red
Runs on 1 or 2 AA or AAA batteries
Diameter of tube to fit in mounting rings must be at least 25mm up to 34mm
Overall length under 6"
on/off button or switch
I can solder and assemble, but what I'm not finding on jet, survival, dragon, etc. laser are drivers that run on 1.5 or 3v, in standardized format for mounting in a pre-made tube.
Thanks for any advice
