LaserLyte V2 troubles

[troy917]

I was wondering if anyone else has had trouble with LaserLyte V2 subcompact sight.

I bought one at G&L and loved it for 2 range sessions (about 150 rounds).

It began working at only 50% intensity for a shot or two then back to 100%. I would turn it off and use the gun sights and it would come on by itself. I exchanged it for a new unit and the same thing. This time I did not want to bother G&L with it so I called customer service and was told they have a problem with some units not having the rear face plate completely tightened. There are (2) .050 allen screws that could have been left just partially tightened. They suggested I completely hand tighten them and see how it works.I will try this and post here with the results.

I am interested in the outcome, please let us know. I want these devices to be reliable, so I can buy one.

:bat:Well, it seems that the unit is defective I removed it and tightened the rear face plate just a tad bit more and still have the problem. Although I haven't fired the gun, I can turn it on and it is OK for about 5 seconds then goes to about 50% intensity. Cuts it down to about armlength range. Needless to say I'm sending it back to be repaired or replaced. Perhaps

I can weasle them in to exchanging it for the new rear sight version. However if the reliability is equalled in this product I just want my money back.
