I think I may have made a mistake by installing my Crimson Trace laser grips on my S&W model 642. Oh, they work just fine...from a hand rest. But, for the life of me, I can't hold that little red dot on the bull's eye "free-handed". I may have to install these grips on one of my .38's with a hammer. Cock the hammer and I get a MUUUuuuuch lighter trigger. I was REALLY humbled when I tried the first time. I got better as I practiced, but still not good. Today, I'm burning batteries with "A-Zoom" snap caps in the 642 trying to dry fire without moving that red spot. I hang my head in shame. THIS is DIFFICULT!
What's the general opinion of the board?
Trigger job on my 642? Switch the laser grips to a J-frame I can cock? Some of my J-frames with hammers have very light triggers and I wouldn't pull the red dot off the target.
In it's defense, my 642's trigger IS beginning to loosen up. Should I stick with it and practice more or switch the laser grips?
