Looking for a laser sight for my sig sp2022 handgun and need some pointers on what to look for.
Red or green laser?
What else should I know about purchasing a laser too?
Not looking to spend hundreds on one either
Mahalo if any one can help

I second the Predator 3 Point Laser.
either one is threatening. Green easier to see in the daytime but easier to get shot at too.

I don't do lasers, but if I was getting one for free, I'd get the one with the predator laser sight, just to b awesome :geekdanc:
Who makes that one?
What's your take on not getting a laser?

So should I just stick with a red one?

Color of laser aside, you can still track lasers back to the origin. You just need to have something in the air (dust). Green easier to see outside in the sunlight than red.
You have options of guiderods, light/laser combo, and (I don't know if they have, but) Crimson Trace type mounted lasers.
My take on this..........whatever you get, be aware that there is an offset from the laser to the bore. If you try to actually sight in the laser to the point of impact of the round, then there will be points that the laser will not be on target. These points take the majority of the ranges. How does this matter? Well say if you mount a laser/light combo, then inside of your sighted distance the laser will be below the point of impact and with a proper sight picture you don't actually see the laser. Outside of the sighted distance the laser will be high and you do see the laser, but in a stress situation you may think to go with the laser instead of your sights. The larger the bore to laser distance the worse this phenomenon will be.
My suggestion is if you do go with a laser then align the laser parallel to the bore. You will need to be aware of this offset and deal with this in a high stress situation. Due to this I have actually taken lasers off my firearms and mount at most a flashlight.

Blue laser you are going to burn your eye out or someone else. Does not belong on a pistol (won't fit anyways).

Those blue lasers can burn stuff. ... so I don't think I will be investing in any thing like that

oh trust me, you can make them fit! if there is a will there is a way... that being said, I have a blue laser mounted to shotgun. I'm more afraid of the laser then the shotgun is to be honest. It will burn your eye out!
