    Default Should I pull the trigger?

    If I'm able to get a brand new M20 for $215, should i buy it? Or should i save the money for higher levels ones like LI or other devices?

    Hard call to make.

    That's a pretty good price....

    But that vehicle presents some pretty awful hardpoints, too......

    I'd let the enforcement hardware/setups that you face be the judge of whether or not to take the offer. Look at the latest GOL tests as a frame-of-reference, and extrapolate/interpolate between the M40 setup used there to your M20, and look hard and assess honestly the typical PT distances per each piece of police LIDAR most often encountered in your travels.

    Thanks guys. I did some research the laser guns used in Vancouver and looked at the latest GOL. I dont have a front plate so i compared the headlight tests of M40 to LPP. We have Laser Atlanta, Ultralyte, Marksman, Stalker Lz1, Pro Laser III here in Vancouver, and the results of the Blinder isnt very bad considering it only cost half of the LPP's price. With the aid of V1 i think i can still get some decent protections i want.

    Now i'm looking out of my windows searching for FedEx everyday 8)

    In the meantime, can you guys give me suggestions on where to mount the heads?


    Thanks in advance!

    damn C55, I was really close to buying this same M20, from the MB forums yes? Anyways enjoy it, I have M40's coming... Finding good positioning on my SLK32 seems like it will be difficult...
