Laserlyte, makers of the infamous pistol bayonet, have developed a training laser device called the LT-1. The LT-1 is inserted into a pistol barrel and is sound activated by noise from the hammer striking the firing pin/transfer bar. Presumably it also works on striker fired pistols such as Glocks.
It comes supplied with a daylight target which has a reflective coating. When I suggested to the Laserlyte PR person that another person would be needed to spot “hits”, she told me that it is obvious when you hit the reflective target but another person spotting could be useful.
I think this could be very popular with proponents of point shooting – a pistol shooting technique where instincts instead of sights are used to aim.
It comes with adapters to fit pistols in calibers .22 – .50 with a barrel at least 4″ long.

The Laserlyte RL-1 is a rear sight for the Glock that incorporates a laser.
It fits all Glocks and will work with all level 1 and 2 holsters. The MRSP is $199.

Hat Tip: Tell Me Why
LaserLyte have developed a “Universal Quick Detachable” bayonet called the PB-1. It features a steel blade manufactured by Ka-Bar.
Click to expand.
Be the first to own a Pistol Bayonet that looks as good as it works. This razor-sharp Ka-Bar® blade fits any medium to large pistol with a rail and slides on and off easily with the press of two buttons. The blade handle is constructed from 30% glass-filled nylon for strength and durability. Its carbon steel blade is sharpened to a fine edge and finished with a black Teflon® coating for protection. A LaserLyte original, the Pistol Bayonet is ready for any situation—or just looking cool on your favorite gun.
This is not the first pistol bayonet, The CZ 75 SP-01Tactical includes a bayonet and breach teeth. I don’t think it is supposed to be taken seriously, there is very little tactical value or self defense value to hanging a knife off your pistol. Still, I want one!
LaserLyte are selling the PB-1 on their website for $39.95.
UPDATE: The idea of combining a knife and pistol has actually been around for a very long time. Since at least the 1700’s when a pistol and multi tool were combined..
