I tried out the CT lasergrip on a gen3 G26 when my local shop offered it. I found that the laser was blocked by my indexed trigger finger on the side of the frame, and my fingers are too short to reach the trigger guard; I couldn't find any other place to put my trigger finger with the laser activated. I like the idea of it being on as soon as you draw. I just can't use the CT on my Glocks. I haven't tried the LCP model. I can reach the trigger guard on my TCP, so I could adjust my handling enough to use it there. If they make a model compatible with the TCP.I bought a Crimson Trace laser for my dads LCP because of the fact that all you have to do to turn it on is grip the firearm. It takes very little pressure to activate it. Even though it cost $60 more over the Lasermax and Laserlyte setups, I still went with it because of the pressure pad. In an emergency situation I would not want to worry about having to press a button to activate the laser. The pressure pad of the CT system eliminates that one extra step.
I just bought a new Sig P238 from Buds a few minutes ago it comes with the Sig laser, Hogue grips and Sig night sights. The only reason I bought that model is because it only cost $25 more than the standard model with normal grips and fixed sights and no laser. I will probably end up selling the laser if I don't feel I will use it and make some money back or buy the Crimson Trace laser since the Sig laser is similar to the Laserlyte/Lasermax setups with button activation. I'll post up some pics when it arrives.
I haven't looked, but I assume that the CT laser is located on the grip of the Glock? For the LCP it actually attaches to the trigger guard so nothing can actually get in the way.I tried out the CT lasergrip on a gen3 G26 when my local shop offered it.

Does the guide rod laser actually handle the recoil & bang pretty well? I wanted 1 but a guy says that they wouldn't last as long do to recoil & such.rivalarrival said:I thought that they were a waste of time and money until I encountered a BG in a dark house. I had him blinded with my tactical light, and nearly had to shoot him because he didn't believe I was armed. This would have been extremely bad because "BG" wasn't actually a BG, just the profoundly-stupid, criminally-trespassing, verbally-threatening, over-protective neighbor of the vacant house my corporate client owned and told me to inspect.
I now use a Lasermax guide-rod laser, just to be able to tell the BGs how bad their day is about to get. The activation switch is the takedown lever, where my trigger finger sits when it's indexed on the frame anyway.
Haven't had any real problems with it. I swap in the stock spring/rod when I do extended mag dumps, but I've got a few hundred rounds through it with the laser.Does the guide rod laser actually handle the recoil & bang pretty well?

I usually see the LCR with the laser grips for sale.Bought a S&W Bodyguard .38 because it had the laser and the Ruger LCR didn't. Very seldom use it at the well-lighted range. Now if I hear glass breaking at 3:00am, that's different.
