I don't know what you want to use it for, but lasers don't work real great in bright lighting, at least they didn't used to. I played with them some years ago and sunlight or fourescent (sp?) lighting would wash the laser out pretty bad making it hard to see. In my opinion they work well for what they were made for, shooting poeple in the dark

. Maybe the new ones work much better, I would check for sure before paying for them. Has she considered a red dot? Next best thing in my opinion.
