Every time I see or hear the word crimson trace I cringe, these people sell confidence, confidence that the average pistol owner has to earn. Lasers are the scourge of the gun industry.
That's a prejudiced opinion 2How. It's also not exactly accurate but that's a different matter and if I remember I'll get to it after I cover my FIRST comment.
You are, like the majority of us on this sight, confident of your ability because you have been shooting for years. But the reason we have guns is because we like shooting, we like guns, Oh yeah and self defense. But we are in the MINORITY of gun owners. How many people do you know who own a rifle or shotgun that never comes out of the Closet until deer season ? Most hand gun owners are like that, their "home defense gun" MIGHT go to a basic NRA class, Maybe once to the range, then it goes in the night stand drawer and stays there for 30 years. When something goes crash in the night the owner wakes from a sound sleep and grabs it, remembering that the little end goes away from them but completely forget about anything like sights. When they do confront a threat it's point and pull. they don't have our training or experience to remember sights, trigger control, or anything else.
With something like CT the switch on the grip means they don't have to remember anything, put the red dot on what scares you and pull the trigger (Just like the video games they spend their time on ). It actually makes life safer for their neighbors by decreasing the chance of stray rounds. They SHOULD practice, no argument, the REALITY is that they don't.
My second comment, laser sights allow an EXPERIENCED shooter to make accurate shoots at ranges they previously would not have attempted with short barreled pistols thereby maximizing the pistols performance.
Will you NEED to make a 100 yard shot with a J frame ? Most likely not. Will you be buying the beer if you DO make the shot ?
Again, probably not.
