Hey guys, just looking for a fun laser to have that I won't need any eye protection with and can use recreationally. After realizing that I can probably find something better than the $50 green laser at radio shack I decided to look online.

I have found the CORE 5mW laser from wickedlasers as my top choice right now. Is that a good choice for me?

I can't give a link since I'm newly registered

The CORE would be the best choice for a 5mw laserpointer I think Wink

I've had quite a few different 5mW lasers over the past few years and the CORE is one of the most stable 5mW lasers I've used. It is also the only 5mW green that I still use regularly and I always have it in my breifcase.

While it may not lend itself to user modification as well as some other models, it does what it is advertised to do exceptionally well.
