Hi, I'm thinking of installing Crimson Trace grips on one of my pistols. From everything I've read, they seem to be an absolutely top-notch product, so I'm not worried about quality or function. What I am wondering about is the impact that using a laser-equipped pistol might have on my skills when using guns not so equipped.
I've been shooting a couple of years, pretty much self-taught, and am not too bad at garden-variety 2-handed defensive-range shooting. I'm always trying to improve my grip, trigger, and sight picture skills, and see constant if incremental improvement. Will occasionally using a laser sight ruin the progress I've made?
I'm considering this, at least at first, because I'm in the mood to buy a neat gun-related toy (although it seems a lot of experienced shooters really like the CTC lasergrips and use them extensively) with perhaps a secondary use in diagnosing trigger pull problems, flinches, etc. I'm not looking into it out of frustration with iron sights, and I know real training and lots of practice is the best route to good shooting. Any thoughts? Thanks for any replies.
