Concealed Carry and Lasers

[Raidingtime]

Finally...a valid con.

That's why you buy crimson trace. The on switch on the grip is also nice for cc.

That's what I use, Laserguard. And I like it.

Hi NWF!

Fonzi here again. I've been working closely with some of the staff at Crimson Trace at length and am gradually becoming a convert to the idea of running a laser on my concealed carry piece. Why? Because it's cheating. And I am all about cheating when trying to preserve my safety and others'. Does anyone here have any thoughts on this? Pros? Cons? Recommendations or experiences?
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Regards,

Josh Fonzi

Lasers aren't cheating really, would be like saying sights in general are cheating. Anyhow, I think it's all just personal preference on whether to go laser or not. I do fine as a BTN (between the nipple) shooter at 7 yards with my concealed carry piece so don't see the need for a laser. Now, I do like the XS big dot on my LCR 357 magnum, helps me acquire the front sight in the dark even though I can point and shoot pretty well.

Have fun and be safe,
Mike

A worthless con if using a ct. Unless his holster squeezes the pistol grip in the upper front of the grip.

Even though this increases the cost two-fold at least, go GREEN before getting into the huge expense of red lasers and all the special-order holsters to house them.

No special order Holster with ct. If your pistol fits before it will fit after ct is installed

I just get all distracted and start chasing the darn thing all over the place ........ no wait, that's my cat .... sorry, my bad. I tried them, just couldn't get used to them. Still am able to hit what I need to when I need to with iron, though I do like the radioactive ones because they are all glowy at night and I can find the front sight.

What if you can not raise your pistol to eye level. Can you look through one hole in the wall and shoot from another hole and hit your target.

Yeah, it definitely depends on the holster. Mine is fine. But as the switch is on the front of the grips, just below the trigger guard it's not hard to imagine a holster that would activate it.
We all have our preferences. Maybe with his holster of choice?

I am personally not a laser fan; it is just one more aspect of thought that requires brain power in a stressed situation. I don't want my eyes fixated on a dot when it should be looking for possible

I have not yet seen a holster turn a crimson trace laser.

Nor have I. Because I always choose the laser option when ordering. Funny it's an option if it makes no difference, wouldn't you say?

Re holster turning one on . I was referring to a Laser Max not A CT

Seriously? Go order a holster online. Where do you buy your holsters? I'll do the work and send you a link.

Sorry, maybe I'm missing something. Brain's not working real well today. What's a clc laser?

3 to 12 feet . less than 4 seconds from start to finish

Until it isn't. Until it is a gang breaking into your house. Oh yeah, I forgot that every encounter with a gun is stationary and lasts for only 3 seconds with only 3 rounds expended. We should all go back to S&W Model 60's and be done with all this rigamarole.

The Crimson trace lasers are on the grip of the pistol they are the same size of the handgrips you take off the pistol (1911)and others you add about 1/8 inch to the front of the grip and about a 1/4 inch bump above your big buckle on your trigger finger. One question how many holsters cover the grip of your pistols excluding the old Calvery holsters that you have to lift the flap to get to the pistol

One more question
Are you talking about the pistol grip laser or are you talking about the rail master laser(which I be leave you are) and not the grip laser. In which case we are both correct.

 

[CHLChris]

The red Laserguard and the green Laserguard are different shapes and sizes. Lasergrips red or green would make no difference, though. The green Laserguards are the same size/shape as the Lightguards.

Yes I am talking reality . Your Fictional delusions or analogies of gang overrun of your personal living quarters ? Plain over exaggeration in your justification of Laser pointer use on your personal carry .
I'm afraid your using a Laser pointer on your personal carry pistol is just a placebo on your part. It's false reinforcement to your lack of proper training and knowledge .
