Does anyone have any experience with this laser. I did a search and did not find much on it (Dont worry even though I am a newbie to this forum, I am not a newbie to forum manners. Always search first!)

They want $350 for it on the website. Is this laser worth it? $350 seems to be steep for a laser. What do you guys think?

While we are on topic, what do you guys think about green lasers in general?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Green lasers will kill your night vision when used up close in low light, where red lasers will not.

Sig doesn't actually make any of their own accessories, they just have their brand added to another companies product. Most are made by iTac Defense. I can't speak to the G-LAD specifically, but if it's an accessory sold by Sig, the it's likely to be both excessively expensive, and a total piece of crap.

Just my $0.02

Thanks for the input. I am weighing out the option to take the $500 credit or the $300 check for the rebate. If I were to take the credit the green laser sight was an option I was entertaining in my head.

...i would pass on the laser and take the $300 check and put it towards something more useful...like a good quality optic...

I have the GLAD (and a Viridian C5). The GLAD is not the best green laser out there, but it is a decent product. It is only worth $100 so its not worth spending over that. For defence/non-military applications (where nightvision is not a major concern) green lasers are unbeatable. The main reason i have always opted for them where possible is because of their strength in daylight. Put quite simply, during the day a green laser is infinitely more visible than a red laser (i've had my share of crimson trace and others).

It looks exactly like the one I bought from Primary Arms for $60.
