I was at the gun shop today and they had a set of these on a new Kimber. I really liked them. Has anyone used them yet? Any idea of price?

    A buddy had a set of non-wraparounds on his Llama .45, and wouldn't hold a zero for nothing, we figured that it was because they kept shifting in place every time he shot, but could have been a varity of other things, like his gun...

    I like the ones on my sig and my father in law has the J frame with the grips. He hasn't had any problems with them. Maybe the fit on the Llama wasn't quite there. CTC tries to make them for specific models, rather than one fits all.

    I've got them on an Airweight Chief. Grips dont really fit the hand as well as the boot style but it's neat to easily hit a small target from the hip.

    The prices I have seen are around $250. I had some on a Kimber that I got on a trade. The ones I had shot point of aim. I wouldn't buy a set on my own.

    Me neither. If you practic enough (which one should anyway), you don't need a laser to tell you where your shot is going.

    I'd rather spend the money on a Keltec P-11 and still have money for ammo.

    But can you imagine, the wife home alone, you gone, someone breaking into your home and the wife grabbing the gun with the laser, turning it on the burglar, not having to make sure she has the correct stance, hand hold, etc., especially if it is low lighting, and being able to place the dot on the burglar, knowing very well that if she pulls the trigger, the bullet will hit where the dot was aimed?? Can you imagine the thoughts running thru the burglar's mind when he sees the dot moving across his body?? Almost like the racking shotgun pucker factor syndrome..

    I know, a few ifs and whatever... There is a practical use for alot of toys out there, if you just get past the John Wayne macho image....
    Not everyone is as good as you are...

    But what if????
