This is a fast Instructable where you can use any laser pointer for your .22 Caliber Gun or any other long barreled hand guns or rifle not higher than .22. Or for all of those AEG (Airsofters out there)

Materials Needed:
Your gun of course. mine was a Taurus Model 970 Taurus USA

8" Black Multi Color Wraps Strap from [http://www.radioshack.com Radioshack] Product Catalog 278-1676 $2.99
or any strap you can get/find.

35mW Green Laser pointer from techlasers.com $99 Infiniti Green Laser Pointer

You can get the higher wattage version from their site. The higher the wattage the meaner the pointer in looks.

Of Course You Need the Laser I Bought Mine From Techlasers

This is my laser I bought from techlasers.com infiniti 35mw hehehe, first I removed the gold leaf pen holder. For the switch you can remove the laser case and make the contact to always on by covering it with aluminum foil, be very careful with this because it might damage the switch permanently and void the warranty if its new, or you can use a black electrical tape wrap around the switch.

This Is What the Wire Strap Look Like

Purchase the black strap to match the techlasers laser black case, use a cardboard cutter to cut exactly how long do you need from the strap.

The Gun With the Laser Hehehe Accurate As Far As You Can See :-D

Here is the techlasers mounted on the long barrel of my hand gun :-D, adjust the wrap as tight as possible or you can put additional holder eg. cloth if you are wary of scratches in your laser :-D.

You can also used another wrap as long as it can hold your laser tightly.

Packing tape maybe :-)

Adjust the laser until you can see thats its straight enough or the dot is right on the target.
