Opinions on Crimson Trace on a 1911

[Magwa]

The eyes are getting worse by the year what say you? yay or nay thinking about the carbon fiber ones for my Kimber tac 2 since i have all but worn the finish off it  it looks sad but oh what a beauty to shoot Wilson springs and bushing and wilson mags.. never ran a laser but know folks that do and they say at night it is the cats meow ...

One thing I do not like about the Crimson Trace...when I have my finger off the trigger (as it should be) and along the frame, it blocks the laser and makes a big ol' honkin' red glow out of my hand against the firearm.

While a person may be in their rights to dot someone and blast away under the law, positively identifying your adversary is nearly impossible in the dark with a laser.  I recommend bright-and-blinding white lights for positive target ID.

We had a guy here last year blast his fiance' away in the dark...swore she was in bed next to him.

  I trie3d one on my Kimber ultra carry.  Slowed me down by .75 seconds over an average 9 shot string, using a competioion timer.

    Got rid of it fast!

Well that is a bit disconcerting for sure Hmmmmm will see if the local GS has one but i have ambi saftey so it will not fit anyway unless i get the bobbed right hand side saftey..... well thank you will think on this some more..

Guide rod replacement - they make guide rods that have the laser incorporated.

my gripe with guide rod is you use their spring I use a wilson combat and my gun loves it so i am not going to change that ... still  thinking on this ...
