    Visible Laser Input Needed- Lasermax Unimax Vs Crimson Trace CMR-206

    Looking at acquiring a visible green laser.
    I've read everything I can find- there is very little *actual* info out there on either of these (even their red counterparts). I cannot believe how utterly useless the internet can be sometimes. Or, actually I should say, the people on it....

    So, per title, there's 2 in the running:

    Lasermax Uni-Max Green Pic. Rail Mount LMS-UNI-GVP

    Crimson Trace Universal Rail Mount CMR 206 Green
    http://www.crimsontrace.com/products...oducts/01-4620

    I'm leaning pretty hard toward the CT, because I do not necessarily need a momentary tape switch on this (or at least, I don't need *another* on this gun), and it's CT- if it craps out I hear their CS is pretty good. Also, it's significantly cheaper....

    OTOH, I like the flatness of the Lasermax, and there seems to be some internet jabber that their beam may be a little crisper/more powerful/more visible than the CT unit. It *seems* I can also disconnect the tape switch from the unit if I don't want to use it.

    CONS- What I've seen so far leads me to seriously question the overall durability or waterproofness of either....
    -I've heard a few varying reports about the overall fit and finish of the Lasermax, namely battery cover and screws.
    -I've heard some internet jabber that the small "wing" activation levers on the CMR may be susceptible to snapping off if not mounted to a pistol. (some guy on AR15 actually made a neat mod to prevent this).

    Requirements:
    -Needs to be durable enough to handle bumps in car, occasional drops from shoulder height and/or back of car height onto hard surface, recoil/muzzle blast on a short barrel 556.
    -Needs to hold zero under said conditions, needs to be visible in daylight between 20-30 yds, needs to be waterproof enough to survive rain, or a water spill.
    -Needs to mount to picatinny rail.

    I think both will fit the daylight visibility requirements, I just need input on which is the better buy from a durability/reliability/fit & finish perspective.
    Anyone here have experience with either?


    Caveats:
    > I'm well aware of the limitations of visible lasers (hence the green requirement)
    > Currently, this does seem to be a "need" not just "help me blow $200"
