A one-piece bore hung system that fits handguns, rifles and carbines of all calibers relies on a green laser that is 100 times more visible than red lasers, which are the traditional light source for such devices.

The units weigh two-and-a-half ounces and are seven-and-a-half inches in length.

LaserLyte of Cottonwood, Ariz., recently introduced this next-generation sighting system, which is powered by one CR2 lithium battery that offers an hour and a half of continuous operation by using the advanced auto power control digital circuitry.

In daytime use, the 532-nanometer green laser produces a dot that can be seen from as far away as 100 yards.
