Lasers?

I have a CT on my Smith 442. 99% of my practice is in the daylight hours where I can barely see the dot. If I am involved in a shooting, it will most likely be low light, where I see a laser as beneficial and it will be highly visible. I can see the usefulness of them, but wouldn't reccomend anyone rely solely on them for defensive use. I never understood the 'intimidation factor' of a laser. If I were a bad guy, advancing on a soon to be victim, I seriously doubt I'd be spending much time looking at my own chest or belly for a small red dot on there. The CT'a are bright and if you could zap someone in the eye, it would distract them, but if you pull a defensive sidearm, it had better be pointed a center mass!!
