Has anyone had a good mail order experience when ordering laser sights ?  i want to get a set, preferably crimson trace for my S&W 45.

You can try ordering them from Crimson Trace directly, they give great service or Midway USA or Brownells. You might give your local gun pusher a little business. I'm sure they'd appreciate it and you might strike up a helpful relationship for the future.

I ordered my CT grips straight from them. They have GREAT customer service and are very friendly, plus they have a lifetime replacement policy for batteries. They'll send you one set of batteries per year, free of charge!

Ordered some CT grips for the wife's 38. No issues and she was pleased as punch.

I have a set on all of my carry guns (Taurus 357 revolver, KelTec P3AT, Kahr CW4043 & Kimber Ultra Carry II) and love them. They were all ordered through CT. Like has been said before, great customer service & free batteries for life. Also, If you are a NRA instructor, they have a hell of a discount program.

You can also order direct from S&W. You can get the version with the S&W logo.

FWIW, now is a good time to haggle. Get some online prices from the big online dealers. Than print a copy, and put it in your back pocket.

Visit your local guys, and see what they have. If they won't discount or come of the price, mention the "back pocket" price....

They will either match it, or lose a sale....

It's a buyers market in accessories. Everyone has them... Why pay more for the same stuff?

However, I was literally yelled at for mentioning a Miculek Compensator a dealer was asking $50 for, was only $30 at Cheaper Than Dirt.com

A Sucker may be born every minute, but while the supply is still readily available, a smart shopper will take the time to find a deal.

CT is also running a $50 rebate deal right now through sometime in June so it's time to buy.

I haven't ordered yet, but I've been looking for CT's for my jframe. This site seems to be the best price I have found yet. And, there is something about batteries for life from them:

Opticsplanet.com has some decent prices and you can usually google for promo codes.

Combine good prices, with promo codes, free shipping, perks, AND CT's $50 rebate and I would say you're in the market at the right time.

BTW, I plan on trying the "back pocket" idea at a gun show this weekend. If it doesn't come close, I'll probably order next week.

Do check out Optics Planet.  I've dealt with them a couple of times and was satisfied with their price and service.

Here is a like to Laser Sights on their web site.
