They look so COOL! I want some!! :p Dillon doesn't make them for my pistol, but maybe someone does... now I need to convince my husband that I really DO need laser grips (then he can have his stupid canoe!) Anyone have any experience with these?

You DONT need laser grips. I personally cant stand them. I can find the front sight a heck of a lot faster than I can find that little dot.
But you want them. Try Crimson Trace Corp. They are the largest manufacturer of laser grips.
And Your husband Does need a canoe. Everyone needs a watercraft of some form.

LOL, everyone does NOT need a watercraft if they are not going to use it!! This will be like so many other of his purchases... he'll guy the darned thing, go canoing once or twice, then the canoe will arrive at its final resting place in our garage. Whereas I KNOW I will get a LOT of use out of my laser grips!!! lol
So why do you hate laser grips? Is it just laser sights in general you don't like, or just laser grips? Never used either, but just think it would be COOL! :D

I bought my father a pair of Crimson Trace Lasergrips for his milspec 1911, and they are very cool! Three of us tried them out and all of us achieved more accurate groups quicker with the laser than we did with the fixed sights.
We did have some fitting problems, but other than that the grips were an excellent investment. I plan to buy the "combat rubber" grips for my 686 when they come out, and am holding my breath for CZ 75 grips. No grips for a Cougar though :(
If you go get a pair for another gun, shop around online, prices vary dramatically.

:( that's what I was afraid of... the Beretta .45 is relatively new, and I don't think all that popular, so it's hard to find accessories for it. I'm even having a hard time finding a holster I like for it. Maybe I'll write someone a letter and ask when they will be making laser grips for my gun. Otherwise I'll just have to convince my father-in-law to buy laser grips for one of his pistols, so I can play with it - that won't be hard, since he is a gun accessories junkie! Or better yet, I'll just tell my husband that if he really wants his canoe, I'll have to buy another pistol so I can put laser sights on it. Do they make them for ANY Berettas?

Crimson Trace makes two models for the 92/96: a wrap around and a standard grip replacement.

Laser Max also makes lasers for the 92/96, VERTEC, and Centurion. These don't have the grip activation, but as the laser is directly under the barrel, there is only one axis of parallax.

Hope that helps.

You can always store his other unused sports crap in his canoe when he gets tired of it;)

Got the Crimson Trace grips for my SP 101. Not only are they cool, but really make a difference in sighting especially in low light.
If you do get the grips pick up the "Shots in the Dark Video" offered on the CT site. Lots of good info on using your grips.
:cool:

The Crimson Trace laser grips transform a j-frame snub nose into something unbelieveable!
