Most people won't even bother with aligning the laser with their iron sights. They think just because they have a laser that their infallible.
Also laser can very easily get out of alignment, bump the gun against a wall, drop it run out of battery etc. I just don't trust the darn things. Practice is key.
Especially while pulling the trigger. You'd be surprised.You can see exactly how stable or unstable your hold is.

I agree with training and practice, practice, practice with proper sight picture. Being able to shoot very well with no laser is a must. That being said, there are very good applications for having a laser. Practicing and having your laser site "dead on balls accurate" zeroed with your sights is a must. They are also very good for training dry fire trigger squeeze. There are low light advantages as well. I have the kind of laser that is on the rear sight so it doesn't come on passively. I practice instinct shooting and aimed (quick and slow) shooting without it and I am pretty proficient. I practice deliberate deployment and aiming using the laser in moderate to low light.
I like both the iron sights and the laser.
When I go "target shooting" I will use my 22, I will sight carefully without optic aids and have no problems with my friends using lasers or any kind of optics to "hit the bullseye"--that is what target shooting is all about. They also take their time aiming when using their other defensive firearms, which I find to be a big waste of ammo and time. I will also bring along another target with me on a separate shooting stall where I shoot my defense weapons, be them home defense or CC. The targets will be at max maybe 7-10 yards and the shots will be more instinctive point/shoot. I cannot, for the life of me, understand the purpose in taking 5 or 10 seconds with a 9mm or 45 to be sure I hit the bullseye---I could say the same for turning on a laser etal for accurate shooting. The reliance on the laser and the milisecond it takes to have it on and acquire the target without having that instinctive ability to point/shoot strikes me as a dangerous precedent if you are determined to defend yourself in a very fluid situation. Just sayin
