 Innovative but FlawedOct 06, 2007
By Jeffrey A. Edwards
I purchased the Lasermax Unimax laser for my Beretta PX4 Storm in 9mm. After taking it to the range, I found that after only a couple shot the laser would switch off due to the recoil of the gun. The side to side switch wasn't stiff enough to withstand the recoil of the pistol. Also, dry firing at home would cause the laser to dim sometimes, only to brighten back up after a few more dry fires. I've sent it back into to Lasermax twice now and still have the same issues.
The pulsing dot and the ability to mount more rail acessories under the laser are very innovative, and I think it'd be a fine product, but I'm afraid it has some design flaw that makes it inherently unreliable. This is completely unacceptable for a laser that retails for upwards of 180 dollars. I would steer clear of it and go for a cheaper, more reliable model.

 Awesome laser sight!Sep 10, 2010
By bry
I have tried a few different sights on my HK P2000 and Glock 22, this one is the best! The switch is easy to use on four different guns I have tried it on. It works on the front rail of an AR, but a pistol is easier to use it on. It's small size even allows you to use an Uncle Mike's or similar non-Kydex holster with no trouble at all. It holds zero beter that any laser sight I have ever used!

2 serious fundamental design flaws with the Uni-MaxJul 20, 2011
By Chris Lawson
I'm on' my 2nd Uni-Max on my Gen 4 Glock 17. The first would not maintain zero after firing only a few rounds. I've not shot with the new one yet. There's two fundamental design flaws- 1. They don't fit tightly into the rail space. Lasermax doesn't offer rail "keys" like Streamlight does and this can cause the unit to slip if not screwed in super tight and I've heard of them stripping out as they're easily over tightened. 2. The tightness of the battery door has an affect on the resistance of the on/of switch which is problematic. IOW, if you tighten the battery door too much (as I did because it didn't seem to be tightened down enough)it's difficult to turn on and off. I mentioned this to their customer service and they're aware of it and don't really seem to care. BTW, their customer service leaves much to be desired. I hear that Lasermax is phasing the Uni-Max out. For obvious reasons if you ask me. I'll be leery of Lasermax products in the future because of my experience with the Uni-Max and their customer service.

Quality Laser SightJul 25, 2010
By Collector
I made my purchase based on a number of positive reviews of the Lasermax sight on several handgun bulletin boards. I was not disappointed.
The Lasermax sight is, as stated, no heavier than a .45 cartridge and about the size of a domino tile. It comes factory set with the rapid pulse beam. This can very easily be changed to a solid beam, should you prefer it. I found that I actually like the rapid pulse feature. The illusion of movement that is created by the pulse makes it very easy for the eye to pick up in daylight situations.
Another feature that I liked was the ambidextrous switch. Off is in the center position. Push it from left or right to turn it on.
I am using the Lasermax on a Springfield XDm .45 and have yet to experience any of the problems encountered by the other reviewer.

Great Sight; Room for ImprovementNov 21, 2010
By OshKoshBJosh
Update:
(1) User error responsible for the faulty mounting
(2) More durable materials still would have prevented the nut coming loose from the plastic
It was with great anticipation that I unpacked the LaserMax Uni-Max (Red) and test-mounted it onto the Picatinny Rail on my SIG P220 Combat .45ACP.
At the range however, the LaserMax Uni-Max (Red) was a disappointment.
Two major problems surfaced including. . .
1) The means of securing the unit to the firearm (a single screw made of a plastic-ky material) did not generate enough clamping force (or was in a less-than ideal location), resulting in the laser sight incrementally shifting out of position with each shot. Sending 10 rounds downrange resulted with the sight flying clean off the firearm into the dirt!
2) In an attempt to remedy this, I screwed the clamp in as hard as I could. This resulted in stripping the threads on the (plastic-ky) clamps. My $149 investment (+ extra $$$ for spare batteries) is now useless!
I liked the low-profile looks of the unit, and was definitely brought in by the allure of owning a rugged, do-all tactical accessory to match my 'combat' themed firearm.
In real-world practive however, this unit needs more work. I'm not an engineer, but perhaps a nice addition would be to use more robust materials (metal) on the spots that interface with the Picatinny Rail, and all parts that "screw in" to each other (metal).
I miss the days when "Made in America" really meant something about product quality. It seems that isn't so much of a guarantee these days.
