Shockwave designs are a lot easier to fire slightly tilted if you're holding them out in front of you, since it puts your wrist at a less awkward angle, so a right handed shooter could put this laser right at 12 o'clock like a pair of offset rifle sights.
Or, y'know, hip fire it if the ninjas have finally found your safehouse, whatever.
FYI as someone who owns both Red and Green lasers.
Spend the extra money for the Green laser.
Red sucks outdoors in any kind of light, and Green is just more visible in all conditions.
