Marty--
Yes, given the additional info, I would like to buy it.
I am not offended, once you made your position clear I am fine with that. I apologize for being "like that", and I'll leave it at that.
If you are ever up in the DFW area, I would prefer to do this face to face, if that is okay with you. I attend some of the DFW area gun shows (maybe Mesquite Sunday a.m.), definitely Market Hall although that is a month away.
Let me know what works for you.
Rich

Since you choose to cop an attitude, I will be a bit more direct:

No, you did not answer my question at all. What you said was:

I still shot about 2 to 3 inch group at 3 yards, and about a 7 to 8 inch group 7 yards.

A 7-inch group at 7 yards is the reult of one of two things.
One, the laser is such a shot-to-shot variable that POI is within +/- 3.5 inches at 7 yards, (which is atrocious), or;
Two, that 7-8 inch grouping is indicative of your shooting, which is atrocious.

That is why I tried to ask (in a tactful way) how the POI of the laser compared with your use of the same gun with iron sights.

If you shoot the same with irons as you do with the laser, I'd be tempted to buy it and try it. You could use the money for ammo and range time.

If you shoot 1" groups at 7 yards with irons and 7" groups at the same distance with the laser, it would be reasonable to conclude that the LaserMax is poorly designed or executed.

Now, would you like to try again?

My question is, how close to the sights' point of aim is the laser?
To put it another way, if you fire five rounds using iron sights, and then fire five rounds using the laser, do they hit in about the same place?
Is the seven inch group due to the laser? Do you shoot a tighter group with iron sights?

I am used to the Crimson Trace laser, which is very "repeatable" and adjustable as well. But the wife owns a mini-XD9 and I wouldn't mind putting this under the tree in December...

I am interested, and I am local (Lewisville).
I have not tried this brand, although I have exprience with the CT laser.
It appears as if there is no adjustability to the LaserMax. How well regulated is it as-delivered?
