I finnaly got a chance to try out a pair today (on a 1911), and I love them, but have one problem(at least with the ones on the 1911) if your a right handed shooter, when you grip the pistol you have to have your finger in the trigger guard for the laser beam to be projected . When your trigger finger is outside the guard it blocks the beam :frown: . But they are a very nice addition to any pistol, just a little pricey.
anywhere I put it except inside the trigger housing the beam was blocked. Now if the laser was on the other side (slide stop and thumb saftey side) I wouldn't have any problems.
Bruce - I always notice much same on SIG - unless I make sure to keep trigger finger extended lower down - actually beside trigger guard. Maybe your grips have the emitter a bit lower - never seen them on 1911 yet.
Here (once more) my SIG - and you'll see if you project imaginary line from emitter - it can indeed stay clear even with finger off trigger but pointing straight fwd..
I've shot my Colt Compact with CT's (as well as 4 other CT's) with no problem. Perhaps my hand is unusual, but I have zero problem putting my trigger finger on the front/side of the trigger guard - well out of the laser beam.

Comes pretty close to my ideal HD gun: A sig P220ST with SureFire X200 gunlight and the CT grips. Probably in Blue rather than SS or more likely ROGARD with NP3 interior.
well, if ya notice in my pic I do have large fingers.
I think it must be the way I hold it.
