What's the PRIMARY reason why you have Crimson Trace Laser Grips on your handgun?

good reasons for the Crimson Trace lasergrips

I bought a set of CrimsonTrace lasergrips for my Taurus Protector .357magnum. They worked well. My only gripe was that the small sight adjustment parts can dig into your hand or scratch your skin/clothes if you adjust them too far out. I'm a left handed shooter and liked the feel.

I also like that the laser grip system can assist you if you must shoot at an awkward angle(like if you are wounded and down on the ground) or if you must shoot weak handed or one handed.

CrimsonTrace laser grips are a great choice for a "back up" or second gun if you are a sworn LEO or do armed security/EP work.

The new rubber coated models are a good buy too.

Anybody here know if Crimson Trace plans to sell a green laser system or a more powerful design. I know other companies sell stronger laser units.

Also, will Crimson Trace sell a rubber grip model for the Ruger GP-100 .357mag revolver?

I want to get a set for training. I want to find out if I can't hit my target because of bad aim, or because of poor handling.

Several reasons I got the Crimson Trace with my S&W 642:

1. Useful in low light conditions.
2. Useful in tight circumstances when the weapon is in chest-tucked position (not extended).
3. I love the way the grip feels in my hand.

The primary reason I don't have...

them on my pistols is I cannot afford them. If I could, I would.......chris3

The sight adjustment screws should never extend beyond the rubber grip. Usually only slight turning of the screws will be enough to Zero the laser. The power of the laser is the maximum allowed for Civilian use, and the red color is the easiest to see in all conditions....according to Crimson Trace. If you have any questions, take them to the Crimson Trace Forum...they will be answered by Customer Service people.

I have Crimson Trace laser sights on my Sistema, one of my house guns. Definitely a plus for a low-light emergency.

My primary reason for laser grips is immediate feedback when training to point.
IMHO if you can learn to point a pistol and fire that pistol BG is a shot BG quicker that when you take aim..
Secondary reason is they look great in the fog!

I have only one set -- on my P220ST bedside gun. It's also outfitted with an Surefire X200 light.

Would I carry CT grips on a CHL sidearm? Probably not; personal thinking only, but 1. they seem a bit fragile, 2. concerns about running down the battery if I sit in a position that actuates the button, 3. if I disable the master switch, that's another step to prep the weapon.

All in all -- CT's are very nice addition for a home-based pistol IMHO.
