I've had my M&P 340 CT for just over 3 years. The Crimson Trace laser grips have ripped. I believe the warranty is 3 years so I am probably just out of luck. I emailed Crimson Trace in the hope they would stretch a point and give me a replacement but do not appear to have had a reply.
So my options appear to be to buy a new set of CT grips or a different type of grip.
I'm inclined to a different type of grip. The CT grips sounded great in theory when I bought the gun but I've not made much use of them in training. They only work in low light and half the time, I find my trigger finger gets in the way of the laser obscuring the laser beam. And you have to keep cleaning the laser lens otherwise the dot gets large and fuzzy.
Based n my training experiences, I think a 357 magnum snub nose is a point and shoot gun that doesn't need sophisticated sights and probably needs no sights at all.
I detest rubber grips. So my current thinking is that I would like to fit the most gorgeous non-rubber grips out there. Please tell me what those might be! If you have any pictures, that would be even better.
PS Please don't tell me wood or other non-rubber grips are too harsh to shoot. The existing CT grips are virtually rigid according to my perception and I can't imagine anything else could be worse.
