Looking for opinions from people who have experience with either the LaserMax laser sight or Crimson Trace Laser grips/sights, specifically for the Glock (on any model of Glock pistol). Likes? Dislikes? Which do you prefer... and why?

Thanks!

:D
 
I used to rep Lasermax, I'd go CTC now if I had to choose.
The CTC version for Glocks isn't the best looking item going, but it works. The Lasermax works as well, but costs more, and can get dirty, although in an extended gun fight I doubt you'd fire enough rounds to get it dirty. At the range the one I have took about 600 rounds to get dirty (in a G17 or G22).
 
I'd say that comparing things like the CT/Lasermax to things like the Glock tactical light w/ laser and M6 is just apples and oranges.

I don't think the G Light w/ laser or the M6 are in the same catagory as the Lasermax and CT, as they're more for novelty than actual use. If you're going to use it seriously and for a laser, get the CT, or Lasermax if you're in it for looks.
 
I have a set of Crimson Trace Lasergrips on a Smith & Wesson J-frame model 638. (Airweight Bodyguard). They are fantastic.. In any lighting conditions except direct sunlight the red dot is visable to some degree, and will enhance your potential accuracy tremendously.

CrimsonTrace displayed the newly released Lasergrips for the Sig P239 at the Shot Shot in Feb in LasVegas, Nevada and I'm already on the list for a set ASAP..

IMO Crimson Trace is the classiest top quality laser manufacturer in the U.S. and their Customer Service is 2nd to none. If you have a chance check out www.CrimsonTrace.com for yourself.

I think the Lasermax lasers are also of excellent quality, but my understanding is that because of the nature of their location (guide rod) most of their models are not adjustable. You can adjust the Ct Lasergrips vertically and horizonally.

I also have a CAT laser on my Bersa Thunder 9 (Ultra Compact) and it is an excellent product also, just not as unobtrusive in design and application as the CT products.

I can unconditionally recommend any Crimson Trace Lasergrip.. I've had one for several years, and it continues to amaze me at how much it improves my accuracy. I've monitored the Crimson Trace website ever since I bought the model 205 Lasergrips and have been exceptionally pleased at how the Crimson Trace customer service folks continually seem to be available to help their customers in any way possible.

You can't go wrong with Crimson Trace Lasergrips.. Great product, great folks to deal with.

Best Wishes,

yeah to say that CT's customer service is excellent is an understatement. They seem to have taken a page from the reloading companies handbook, emulating Dillon, RCBS etc, with amazing service and helpful employees. They often visit various pistol websites and offer up hints and tips to handgun owners, even when it might not be in their best business interest to do so. CT is absolutely one hell of a company.
Now about adjustability with Lasermax guiderods. They do have a couple models (or did last time I looked), that allowed for adjusting, but in all reality it's not needed with the regular ones. The ones that were adjustable were for specific 1911's that could be very very different from one to another. the standard Sig, Beretta, Glock etc are all known to be within 2 inches of POI at 25yds out of any other pistols they are fitted to. Which is more than good enough for combat/self defence shootings. They aren't designed for, nor intended for "precision work". The CT's are adjustable because of their location, being in the grip of the gun allows for all sorts of reasons for them to be "off" with a factory setting.
As well Lasermax units blink, something I like, but others don't, CT units batteries also last longer, not sure why, might be the type and size of the battery, or it could be laser design.
