Recommended laser sight for Ruger LC9?

(1/3) > >>

I used to have a LaserLyte side laser for my LC9 but had to sell it when I moved to Nebraska because it covers the firearm's serial number and that's not legal here. I'm looking into one of the underbarrel ones that mounts to the front of the trigger guard.

The LaserMax CF-LC9 (http://www.amazon.com/Laser-Max-CF-LC9-For-Ruger/dp/B006P4FRSK) fits the budget nicely, any thoughts on it? Or other brands/models I should consider?

Could you give a link to that law?  I'm not familiar with that one.  Altering/defacing, yes, but temporarily (as in "removable") cover is a new one for me.

I don't use a laser, so it isn't directly relevant, but I always like to know more.

I'll try to do some searching to see if I can find the law again, but at the time (this was about a year ago) it seemed that the sight would be illegal since it made it nontrivial to inspect the serial number. The sight replaces the frame pins with threaded ones and screws into them directly over the serial number, so getting at the serial number required a tiny Allen wrench and removal of the sight.

Okay, couldn't find a direct link in Nebraska law but I found something at the NRA-ILA website:

--- Quote ---It is unlawful to knowingly possess, receive, sell, or lease any firearm from which the manufacturer’s identification mark or serial number has been removed, defaced, altered, or destroyed. It is also unlawful to intentionally remove, deface, cover, alter, or destroy the manufacturer’s identification mark or serial number or other distinguishing numbers on any firearm.

emphasis mine

Isn't the serial number in several places on the firearm?  I know that it is on the slide and the frame both so I would think that you should be good with the site since you can recover the serial# from another location on the weapon.
