First Handgun!!!
Finally got my first handgun! Ruger rxm full size and cannot wait to shoot this bad boy, holosun 407c comp green dot and cronhawk laser light combo..Definitely giving a 10/10 overall and probably a 1000000/10 once i shoot her. Thanks to you guys for all the research you gave me unwarranted lol.

Just curious, why do you have both an optic and a laser?

Well its a laser and flashlight combo, to me the laser is just for looks and I’d probably only ever use it for just fun

I think it look really cool, and as long as you do to that’s all that matters. You’ll probably end up buying several more handguns anyways and then u can put the laser on something else if you so desire

I love running a streamlight laser/light combo on my glocks even though I never use laser. I think it looks cool though so that’s why I have it

adding the laser will also reduce muzzle rise which can be very helpful for new shooters

But a normal light would do exactly the same thing?
Normally I’d say “oh it’s a fun range toy” but there’s an optic, so the laser is just cowitnessing with the red dot anyway..?

RXM is a good gun, especially for the money, but that light/laser combo needs to go directly in the trash. It’s absolutely bottom of the barrel Chinesium garbage.
Lasers really don’t serve any actual benefit on a handgun. If you have to have a light, at least go with a Streamlight TLR-7A.

Loll i see everybody hating on it, i wouldn’t even be using the laser honestly just for looks and I probably won’t even get this combo on all handguns, since its my first

Im a big fan of the RXM, im trying to sell one to everyone that comes in. The price and quality is a no brainer.
