Does anyone have one of these ?   If you do what is your opinion ? Are the better than Crimson Trace , in your opinion  ?

I have one of these on my 40 shield. The coolest part is that it comes on automatically and goes off automatically. I have a crossbreed mini tuck that's a special version from Viridian and that holster makes that happen.
If you get one go slow on the adjustment. I messed mine up by over adjusting that and had to send it back. Great customer service and Viridian turned it around very quickly. 
Need to shoot it a little more to absolutely endorse this but I really really like it.

sstewart , Thank you very much for your help , and input .  I have been thinking hard about getting one  . 

I would have to mount it on one of three different guns , one is a Para Black Ops 14-45 , the other two are a FNX 45 , or my EAA full size steel 10mm .   They are the only hand guns I have with rails .  IWB carry is too uncomfortable for me , so holster choices are slim at best . The para is kind of out , because I like DA/SA better than just SA , for a carry gun . I would like a good Custom Shoulder holster for either the Witness 10mm , or the FNX 45 .  Either one of them with Viridan x5 would be great , but where would go to get a shoulder holster for either set up ?

Sorry dude I need to qualify. Mine is the moulded one for the shield. Which I think becomes kind of part of the gun. I think the rail one should be good also but I don't have that one.

That's quite alright .   I hope I get some more input , on the Viridan Green Laser and Light Combo , as well as some shoulder holster options , for one of my guns with the Viridan attached .

 UP DATE ,  I ordered the Viridian X5L Yesterday , from Walmart  . The price they had on line was . $271.68 .  Someone had it on E-bay for $259. and change , but I know sometimes you can have a problem with some of the E-bay sellers , if there is something wrong with the product .   Walmart has never given me a problem , with anything I had to return .  That for me is worth $12.    I will post my feelings about the Viridian X5L when I receive it , and have a chance to check it out .

 It came Today , and this thing is awesome . The Green Laser is really bright , and the Tactical is super bright as well .  It is actually smaller than I thought it would be , but it may be small in size , but the out put is super bright . I can hardly wait to try it out , at the range .

Well mine is awesome too. Mine is just the green laser for the shield. I had my gunsmith lineup the laser at the same point that the boresight laser hit. At 25 feet, which is what I tested, I don't even have to look at the sites. Just look at the green dot pull the trigger and that's where the bullet goes.

And that was in full sunshine. I don't know if you can see the dot in full sunshine past 50 feet or so.

That sounds great .  I hope it works that well for me .       Now I need to find a custom shoulder holster for my set up with a rare earth magnet installed .

Yea, I got the Crimson Trace CMR-206 green laser and it is great in full sunlight.  I can't believe how good the green lasers are!

Glock 20.  I originally bought for the Glock 29, but then realized I needed a new holster if I wanted to use it on the 29!  So, I threw it on the 20, and I am very happy with it there.
