Crimson trace laser gripes for Glocks?

[joshuamckee]

I just ordered Crimson trace laser gripes for my Glock 27 dose any one have any experience with them pros-cons?

I like the one on the G22. its very bright and dead on. It takes a few min of practice to be able to leave the light off while still having a good grip, for say clearing the house without showing your location.

I have Crimson Trace on my Smith 1911. Like them a lot better then the LazerMax I have on the Glock 19.

Let me say right up front that I'm not a fan of laser sights in general. That said, the CTC units are probably the best way to go if you want to put a laser on your pistol.

The older Lasergrips for Glocks leave a lot to be desired; they dramatically increase the grip thickness and pointing characteristics of the gun, and do not incorporate a master on/off switch. The newer ones for the full-size and compact frames are more streamlined (ala the XD Lasergrips) and DO feature a master switch. There's also a new triggerguard model for the subcompact Glocks (ala the P32/3AT laser) that looks like it would work well, but prevents the gun from fitting into standard holsters (thus eliminating one of the main benefits of the CTC product over its competitors).

FWIW.

I had a set on my Glock 23 for about three months.

For the right application like a night or very low light situation for self defense I think they would fit the need for accurate defense. But, train with them a lot and remember the way they mount, when you firmly grip your weapon they light up, and you give your location to the Bad Guy!

For my home defense pistol, I just use my rail mounted Sure Fire light. The switch has a instant on and a constant on for room sweeps. And the bright Sure Fire light will instantly blind a BG.

Stay Safe bro, and train with your new Crimson Trace Laser, they do work very well!

CT grips were why my wife bought her 226. anything that gives you confidence(plus accuracy with these) is great in my book.

I's always thought they were a good idea and have like the ones they use. Seem to me they can help check that "oh ****" response when you're focused on the threat and don't even see the front sight.

they work well, although I use a blaster2 laser/tac light on the rail of my P99...just another way to go.

Have them on my G27. Very easy to install and to sight. No problem with IWB carry in a Blackhawk! holster, however, the On button is in a bad spot for the retention strap on my OWB holster. Also have CT's on a S&W revolver. Just wish they were 20mw and green.

This has been brought up many times. Here is what I ALWAYS tell people when they are thinking of getting a laser, "ive had lasers on a couple of guns and my findings are that they make a good shooter shoot bad and a bad shooter shoot worse."

I do not recommend lasers to anyone. They are all show and no go.

I use to shoot a three inch group at 25 yards. When the eyes started to go it opened up to six, then eight then about ten to twelve inches. Now with lazers they are back down to about four. I am very happy with that.

You need to learn to use then, not chase the dot. I know a lot of older shooters don't like them because they will honestly show how much movement you have in your stance. But they really do make a good training aid to correct that as well.
