thanks

Don't bother with laser sites. Spend the money on ammo & learn how to shoot....

But if you were look at the lasermax guide rod system or the crimson trace grips. Both have some short comings. Try looking around on Glock Talk in THIS forum.

A laser sight will truly show you how shakey you really are...If you havnt shot a pistol before, let alone a Glock, you need to rethink your priorities. Ammo and practice are first and foremost and the seemingly cool goodies are way down on the list. The laser novelty will wear off quickly and it'll end up in a drawer..

and then when you do get one go for a Crimson Trace grip laser. $400 mark I agree you should learn to shoot it first. I have the CTs on my G17 and it is great.

crimson trace is the only way to go, lots of problems with the lasermax... wire breaking and so on...

See if you can rent/try one. Why? I do not like them. Again, why? The little dot bounces all over the place making me feel like Barney Fife (Don Knotts). Regards, Richard

Where can a guy find someone selling the Crimson Trace gear?

I have a Glock Taclight with built in laser and I love it. You can select the laser alone or the light alone or a combination of either. You can't go wrong. Here's a pic...

Shoot on a range 100%? Practice with your iron sights. They're all made for target practice anyway.

And when you're old, and you depend on readers to see the front sight, all you can do is practice instinctual shooting, have bifocals on all the time, or get a lasersight.

If you carry for self-defence, and might have a second to save your life, why not a laser sight?

One possible problem. Doesn't the Lasermax guiderod for the Glock need to be turned on via the slide release? This is as much a problem as remembering to pop the safety when drawing a 1911.

Or, am I missing something? Glocktalk didn't help on this one, although it did have good info.

50/50 I'll be buying a Lasermax guiderod in Florida in a couple of weeks, so I really want to know its limitations. At least it fits in a stock holster.

(It does.)

(The Crimson Trace fits in a stock holster too.)

I've got a Lasermax in my G20; works so well, I just bought my girlfriend one for her G19. They can be picked up here on the EE for under $200, if you're not in a rush...
