Red vs. Green Lasers: Visibility in Bright Light

Laser sights can be a valuable addition to a defensive firearm. They project a visible beam onto the target that can be used for aiming when properly zeroed. Most laser sights are either red or green, and both colors offer advantages. In this segment of “At The Range,” Handgunning Editor Jeremy Stafford and contributor Patrick Sweeney compare the visibility of red and green lasers in outdoor, sunny conditions. The equipment used to conduct this test includes a Smith & Wesson M&P9 M2.0 with a Streamlight TLR-2 HL red laser sight and a SIG Sauer P320 X-Carry equipped with a Crimson Trace LG-420G Green Laserguard.

Located on each of the two retinas are actually three different types of cones: Red cones, which account for 60% of all cones Green cones, which make up 30% of the cones Blue cones, limited to just 10% of the cones

Shooting at white-colored targets: Does that reflect real situations? For plinking, targets will usually be red and black. A red laser is going to disappear in the red bullseye. Does a green laser disappear on a red bullseye? Both red and green will show up on the black areas. In my experience only, I've seen more people wearing red-colored clothes than green-colored clothes, and those wearing green are dark colored. I think red is popular only because it was the first hence the longest used. Red is traditional. Any flashlight/laser combos that give you the option of using either red or green? I can see the green laser disappearing when chasing a perp through pine trees.

Evolution, baby! I've tried both, and green is easier to see when using light+laser on my pistol. I just like to say, Olight Mini...right now there's no reason not to have one.

Funny thing, I assumed that lasers were for use at low-light, indoors, and at night! Never thought about them for outside use in daylight conditions where I can clearly see my iron sights. If I wanted an dot producing optic for daytime use, I would get an RMR type device.

Lasers have the huge advantage of allowing you to line up your shots without shouldering to aim which is very useful in close quarters.

Thanks for the video. I would of liked to see the same test done at night to see if green still holds an advantage

From my experience, red is brighter overall at night, and green is brighter overall during the day. Both are clearly visible at 50m at night which is standard sighting for a red dot or regular laser diode emitter on a ar platform. Now during the day the red gets completely lost where as the green can be visible depending on your eyesight. Overall green does win since it works 24/7

I have both. Green is more versatile as it’s easier to see after the sun comes up above the horizon. Red is easier to see in the dark at dawn before sun comes up and at dusk after sundown.

Red for night. Either one for day. You can clearly see both under 50 meters. 99% of all gun related alterations are within 20 feet.

Is this the case for optics as well? Will a green dot sight be better than a red dot sight?
@joelapplin88
@joelapplin88 3 года назад
Probably, however with a decent vortex you can see the red dot in bright light very easily on the 2nd to 3rd highest brightness setting. Vortex sparc and crossfires are both great choices.
@bpm9295
@bpm9295 3 года назад
something to consider is that an accessory laser puts a dot *on* the target (or, hopefully close anyway) while a reflex/dot sight puts a dot *over* the target. So, while it's hard to think of reasons why you wouldn't want an accessory laser to be more visible, I think that making a dot sight overly visible could distract the eye from the target & down-barrel conditions in general. Just a thought.
@noahadams1910
@noahadams1910 3 года назад

Could it be that you just need a higher intensity of Red to see it. In the laser that you were using was the weak one not putting out a higher intensity red. Maybe you should really be putting out an article on Laser’s with different intensities of red. I have a handheld laser that I use for lectures that runs on a AA battery, and it is easily seen in the brightest of lights.
