Haz and Jay,
I hear ya on the cost. I scratched my head on a J Frame either with or without Crimsons. I went without because of the cost.
However, maybe if we face one of Mr. Obama's goofy ideas to ban "cheap" guns this would be one way ... Just put lasers on all handguns below whatever they decide is "cheap." I bet "cheap" will be like defining "wealthy" when it comes to taxes. I am amazed at how wealthy I am whenever they start talking about penalizing the rich. Last I checked the wife and I were somewhere in the middle of middleclass (not a bad place to be in my mind), but when it comes to sending kids to college, property tax assistance (one of Minnesota's better ideas of taxing the daylights out of you for having a nice home and then giving it back to some), and all the debate on who should and who should not get the "rebate" checks (this has been going on in Minnesota for many years) we keep getting closer and closer to rubbing elbows with Mr. Trump and a memorial party for my cousing Howard Hughs.
