Must have?
Rob Pincus: The “Must Have” item from SHOT 2009…
I like the laser idea but, honestly, what’s the point of a bayonet on a pistol? CZ offered one a few years back. And I was surprised they were selling as well as they were.
Update: I guess my humor was a bit dry prompting Rob to leave a comment. So, I should clarify that I do like the new rear sight laser from LaserLyte. And was making fun of the bayonet, which Rob says they sold out of pretty darn fast.

Sayuncle,
Please go back and take a look at the article again…. The bayonet was not the item was referring to as a “must have”. The only reason pistol bayonets sell is because they are a novelty… hopefully, no one is taking them seriously as a “tactical” or “defensive” option!
The rear laser sight is certainly not something that you “must have” in order to be able to defend yourself with a pistol either, but it is a cool evolution of hte laser aiming device and one of the few really “new” things I saw this year.
Thanks for reading the Blog!

Oh, I know. I was just having a little fun.

I think if I wanted a pistol to keep around the house in case of robbers then I might consider a bayonet. Not only is it a sharp pointy thing that hurts to run into or try to grab but it also would seem to prevent your slide from going out of battery if pushed from the front. I might consider a bayonet on a shotgun, too, for the same reason.

I got a bayonet for my P226R, It should look pretty good with my Evolution9 and the Bayonet. Can’t wait to get it so I can take pics that scare liberals.
