My buddy got a green lasermax for his G19. Playing with it , it seems pretty damn cool, no external changes, no change to grip or adds that affect holster selection.

But how do they hold up over time?

Don't have the newer version. Ours were the old uncaptured spring version. They did okay in our gen3 Glock 22s. When we switched over to Glock 31s, the springs were bent to snot so we just stopped using them. Maybe the captured version works better.

I have a green Lasermax from years ago (shortly after they were introduced), but I haven’t used it much, so I can’t say anything about durability. What I did confirm, though, was the warning that it was sensitive to cold temperatures. From about 40 degrees and down it pretty much died.

I had one in my G22 but took it out. I just didn't like the strobing, and the battery life was shorter than the red ones. In the dark I still needed a tac light or flash light to see what I was aiming at anyway so the strobing green dot just became a distraction. Maybe I'm just low-tech.
