I have a number of Crimson Trace laser grips and can't say enough good about them.
I have only used one LaserMax product, their rail mounted laser. I was not impressed. The laser quickly came loose inside the case and the general engineering and construction IMO was low quality. I gave the laser to a friend to play with.
I practice with CT lasers and Streamlight TLR-2 laser/lights 2-3 evenings a week (home range), so I have a fair amount of shooting experience with the CT.
I like it so well I would have 3-4 more CT lasers if they were available for the guns.
I would suggest you call CT at 800 441 2406 and ask for their free catalog and DVD. The DVD is worth watching whether or not the shooter is using a laser.
Not that you are probably ever going to use this capability but the laser helps to insure quick accurate hits from point blank to fifty yards or so.
