White Light-Laser Combos: Was I Wrong?

Hmm, first time I used a laser, wasn't impressed. Unless I was wearing a Haz Mat suit or gasmask during a dynamic entry drill. Now to figure which dot was mine...
Pretty much didn't look back, just didn't use. Started becoming a dinosaur with the vision to match. Now almost everything has red dots, but some of them ole favs don't have an optics cut and would be a sin to create one. The top of the list is the service duty HK USP (in 45 of course) that spent over a decade on my side. The light that was designed for its proprietary mount (about 100 bucks back in the day) was about as powerful as a couple candles, useless. I found that Streamlight makes a light that would attach to the odd mount and for a few dollars more had a Laser as well. Since finally finding a threaded barrel for the USP. With a can, no new iron sight change was needed, with the laser for those 0300hr bumps in the dark...
