I own a sig 229 in .357 sig , I was wanting to put a laser sight on. I was wondering which was the best, crimson trace or lasermax ? All replies are appreciated..

Thank you,

I have a para ordnance tac four .45 that I picked up several years ago when they came out. I've been trying to find some laser sights for it. I keep bugging crimson trace and they have told me to kick rocks. Anyone have some suggestions----thanks

Laser Max has nothing for a Para----anyone have any other suggestions?
Yes, but you probably won't like them.
-Learn to shoot with iron sights (I'm only half joking here).
-Trade gun for one that's easier to mount a laser on. Honestly this is probably the best option. Para does (or did) make a double-stack 1911 with a built in rail, if I'm not mistaken.
-Have good gunsmith custom fit a rail, drill and tap your guns frame, then install it under the dustcover. At that point you can put whatever standard mount laser/light/bayonet/etc on the gun you like.
This isn't as hard as it sounds, and probably not prohibitively expensive, though you'll need to drill two holes in your guns frame. . .how bad do you want this laser again?

Really? Kinda funny, that I have a 14/45 Limited, that wears one.

They did make one for all 1911's, not just the Para. The only thing different about the high capacity para's is the magazine housing/grip. That has nothing to do with the guide rod, or slide stop.
