| Q: Can the LaserMax make my
weapon jam? |
|
A: No, provided
you purchase the correct model LaserMax for your firearm,
install it properly and lubricate your firearm per factory
specifications, your firearm will operate as it did prior to
installation. When you purchase your gun, it comes equipped with
a guide rod and spring. These are essential mechanical
components needed for your gun to function. Replacing these
parts with the LaserMax internal guide rod system does not in
any way compromise the durability or strength of your gun! In
all cases, LaserMax’s replacement guide rods and springs meet or
exceed manufacturers standards. Your gun will look and operate
the same after you have installed the LaserMax system, except
now it will have a laser. |
|
|
| Q: Will I have to take my
gun to a gunsmith to have the LaserMax installed?
|
|
A: No, as long
as you know how to fieldstrip your weapon to clean it, you can
install the LaserMax yourself in just a matter of minutes. |
|
|
| Q:
Can I install the LaserMax wrong?
|
| A: Yes, although
installation of the LaserMax system only requires a few simple
steps, it is important that the unit is placed inside your
firearm correctly. Installation requires that you know how to
fieldstrip your weapon. You will also need to carefully follow
the installation instructions in the User’s Manual that comes
with your unit. If you have a question about proper installation
or do not know how to fieldstrip your weapon, a LaserMax Support
Technician will be happy to talk you through the process live
over the phone. |
| |
| Q:
Will putting a LaserMax in my gun void my
firearms factory warranty? |
| A: No, the LaserMax system
does not permanently alter your firearm and will not degrade the
function or void the manufacturer’s warranty. |
| |
| Q: Do I have to clean my
LaserMax? |
| A: After repeated shooting,
the lens or window of your LaserMax unit may become clouded and
require a quick wipe with a soft cloth (Clear your weapon first,
of course!). For a more thorough cleaning, a q-tip and isopropyl
(rubbing) alcohol is all that’s needed. Do not apply any oil or
lubrication to your LaserMax guide rod. |
| |
| Q: What other kind of
maintenance will my LaserMax require?
|
| A: Aside from changing the
batteries, most users will never have the need to perform any
other maintenance to their LaserMax units. High volume shooters
should follow the same recoil spring replacement guidelines set
out by the manufacturer of their firearms. |
| |
| Q: If I remove the batteries
from my LaserMax internal sight, will my gun still operate?
|
| A: Yes, the LaserMax unit
will perform the same function as the factory guide rod and
spring, with or without batteries. Just be sure to put the
battery cap back on, even when the batteries are out. |
| |
| Q: I am a left-handed
shooter. How will I activate the LaserMax internal sight? |
| A: LaserMax switches are
ambidextrous! Both left and right-handed shooters can activate
the laser by pressing the switch in with their index finger from
either side. |
| |
| Q: Will I have to replace my
regular holster after I install the LaserMax?
|
| A: No, unlike other lasers,
which change the exterior dimensions of your gun, the LaserMax
laser system does not require the purchase of a special holster.
|
| |
| Q: Can the LaserMax laser
sight be seen in the daylight?
|
| A: Standing calm and still,
looking at a paper target, sure. But that’s not tactical. You
want to know where the beam is without looking. The LaserMax is
self-defense equipment and is useful for that purpose indoors
and at night. No laser of this class is effective for stress
fire situations in broad daylight beyond a very limited range.
Outdoors from dusk to dawn or indoors anytime, the pulsating
LaserMax beam can be clearly seen far beyond your shooting
range. |
| |
| Q: What is the advantage of
having my take-down lever become an activation switch? |
| A: Law enforcement and other
firearms experts agree that the shooter’s finger should remain
on the side of the frame at the take-down lever (or slide lock)
while aiming. Pressing in on the convenient activation button is
second nature and is completely consistent with firearms safety
training. In addition, all LaserMax switches will operate the
same as their factory counterparts and can remain in the frame
of the gun regardless of whether or not the rest of the LaserMax
system is in place. Many users report that they prefer the shape
of LaserMax switches because they allow for easier take-down.
