Does anyone have any experience with this laser by steiner optics?
http://www.steiner-optics.com/laser-devices/otal-c-ir
also, any recommendations for other lasers like this? i'd love to have the civilian variant PEQ, but my bank roll doesn't agree with it.

Better idea IMHO

Right here.

IR Illuminator is key, and the MSRP's are close.  I'm sure there will be sales on the single spectrum model to put it closer to the OTAL.  BTW, nothing wrong with the OTAL, but having an IR illuminator attached to your IR laser so that you can activate both at the same time.....that my friend is a huge bonus.

My bad, your link in your original post is to an IR laser FYI.

If you're just going vis laser, frankly I'd not waste the money and put it into a good optic or light.

I have an ATPIAL and a DBAL A3 both with vis lasers, and the only time I use them is to zero.

If you don't have NV,  why do you want to purchase an IR laser?

Visible lasers really aren't very useful outside of a few very specific situations, IME.  My ATPIAL-C has a visible laser and I only use it for zeroing in daylight hours.  

IMO, you're better off spending your money elsewhere.

Put the money toward a PVS14.  There are some really good options now around the 2k mark for NVG's.

Best investment I've made.
