Simply follow the manufacturer's instructions for attaching the accessory to the firearm. The Uni-Max rail is identical to a Picatinny-style firearm rail.

Yes. The Uni-Max Laser System can be easily attached to rail adapters. Just about every firearm manufacturer that offers a non-standard rail also offers an adapter that will be compatible with the Uni-Max!

Yes. The Uni-Max system was designed to be rugged enough for use on pistols, rifles, shotguns and even machine guns. In coming months, we offer a momentary activation switch accessory for long gun platforms which allows remote activation.

Yes. The Uni-Max system comes set for a high-visibility pulsing beam (recommended). However, the system can also be easily set for a steady on beam, based on user preference. The user can make this adjustment of pulsing or constant-on beam whenever he or she chooses! (see manual for complete details)

Studies have shown that the human eye can pick up moving objects three times faster than stationary objects. The same is true for laser beams. The pulsing beam (-aka- modulated beam) has much higher visibility, dramatically increasing the speed of target acquisition.

The differences are subtle. Our ES does not come with the option to pulse, the beam is a slightly different color, and we lowered the price on a very high-quality laser.

Commercially-available diode technology does not give green light in a package suitable for laser aiming. To get around this limitation, we use a process called “frequency doubling”. This process requires an infrared pump diode, various crystals and filters, collimating optics, etc., all precisely aligned and made rugged enough to take recoil and temperature variations. It is a lot of expensive technology to stuff in a package the size of a matchbox, but it gives you the brightest laser allowed by law in a rugged, low-profile unit.

Yes, it is much more visible than red or blue lasers in daylight, but it may not be practical in every possible situation. You are better off using a high power scope if shooting at long range on a very bright sunny day.

The green technology is temperature sensitive, and most green lasers have a narrow operating range, typically 50-70 degrees Fahrenheit. LaserMax used proprietary technology to engineer the 5 mW Uni-Greens to work between 40 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit. If you need a Uni-Max to work at significantly colder or hotter temperatures, the red Uni-Max may be a better option for you.

About an hour. The Uni-Green has a time-out circuit. It shuts off automatically after 10 minutes. If you accidentally leave your Uni-Green on and it times out, just toggle the switch and it will turn on again. Needless to say, if you have the momentary switch option, the Uni-Green will stay on only as long as you squeeze the switch. (And if you squeezed it continuously for 10 minutes, it will time out.)

The FDA limits the laser output to 5 mW for civilian and law enforcement users.

Lasers that do not comply with FDA regs are a liability, especially for law enforcement. They can permanently damage your eyes (or someone else’s). This is true even if the infrared is filtered out. Green light can damage your eyes if it is too bright.

LaserMax filters out the infrared so the Uni-Green is eye-safe. However, some manufacturers cut their costs by omitting the filters and their lasers are definitely not eye-safe.
