    A cheap one...

    Buy a cheap one, they are all good these days, it matters little the one you pick. But someday you or someone else with fire a low shot and you will be out your money. Having said that, buy a cheap one....

    Something to think about...

    I've owned Oehler, Competition Electronics, and most recently a Chrony. All are good, the Chrony is the most compact for moving to the range. Depends on your needs, but for the average shooter, the Chrony is great.

    I have used a Pro Chrony and a CED. I favor the CED myself. Here is a link to a test Steve and I did on the CED for m1911.org.
