Looks nice. But, just out of my interest, what about it has you interested?
FWIW: I was recently toying with the idea of something compact with factory installed laser -- may not actually purchase. One possibility had similarity to your selection.
FWIW Mine: Smith & Wesson M&P Shield M2.0 Semi-Auto 9mm Pistol with Crimson Trace Laser Sight $529.99 locally. (first picture)
FWIW My Current Compact (i've got time to kill tonight ): Walther PPK/S Semi-Auto Pistol in Stainless Steel $799.99 locally -- not fired in years. (third picture)

The shape of it got me interested.
That James Bond gun is nice.

Looks right and feels right matters to me. So, I agree with your reason.
I started with a .22 cal Walther PPS version (with extended barrel) for "target". Then got one in .380 (shown) and an "air gun" version for basement practice -- for the fun of it
But, I haven't fired in so long, I think a laser sight would be "functional" in a serious use situation.
Its very unlikely I'd ever need it, but I have had two houses broken into. Once while at home -- that one I acted tough (pretended to be armed) and they left in seconds. Now, I am armed. I'd hope just pointing the laser light would perhaps "defuse" the next situation with no-one hurt -- if not, it would make my "unpracticed aim" better.
Slide mounted thumb safeties that have to be pushed up to be disengaged strike me as a poor design choice for a defense handgun.
Well I carried a Glock 17 as a police issue handgun (and home defense weapon, when off duty) and despite it being SOP, I refused to carry one up the spout, in a weapon without a 'proper' safety catch. Come to think of it, ditto for my safety catch-equipped previous personal weapon, a Walther PP. And yes I know the story about that weapon and Princess Anne's bodyguard, but having inherited the practice from Army days I was used to the drill that I had to rack the slide and check safety off, in the Walther) before using (if ever having to use) the weapon...and could be more confident in its safety, the rest of the time.
My 2 cents: Pick up a used Walther Police Pistol in 380 non laser under 300.00 or a Besa Thunder or Ruger LCP high capacity in 380 ( 9mm short with laser sights.
