In fact, the development of a combat-capable green laser was impressive.
In many circumstances, this is true.
It had taken many years of refining before I felt comfortable recommending green lasers for purchase over red lasers.
Green lasers offer significant advantages in daylight conditions, but engineering them to be both affordable and rugged took a lot of work by Viridian.
Butall that has changed now, especially when you look at the Viridian product line-up.
Any laser dot can wash out or be difficult to see in bright high-noon sun.
Of course, they are at their best in total darkness.
The Viridian E-Series supplemental aiming lasers use ultra-modern manufacturing techniques to ensure they can take a pounding from years of use.
Simply put, laser dots are not available for use 24-7, while iron sights or red dots are.
This is true even of Viridian green laser sights as bright as they are.
The E-Series Laser consists of two halves.
The green aiming dot is plainly visible on the target in front of the author. Daylight conditions can wash out a red dot.
The E-Series off/on switch is ingeniously simple.
A gentle push by your fingertip locks the laser on and leaves it there until you push it again.
There is no pulsating laser to cycle past, nor a true momentary position.
The Viridian holster is made of Kydex and is specifically designed for the Hellcat with a mountedE-Series laser.
The E-series switch works so easily and intuitively that no momentary setting is needed.
The green laser is so bright that no pulsating mode is needed to locate it.
In my opinion, the Hellcat series of pistols has one of the best sight set-ups on the market.
Sighting in a laser is critical before relying on it in “the real world.” Make sure you know where the bullets are going to go!
That setting has always worked well for me regardless of laser sight being used.
I have been carrying the Viridian-equipped Hellcat on the street using the nicely executed Viridian Kydex IWB holster.
The holster holds the Hellcat securely in place, yet allows a quick and smooth draw.
Tension is adjustable and MSRP is only $49.
You wont regret it.
