Default Crimson Trace

Hey guys! Need an opinion or two on a new accessory.

A friend of mine has offered to buy me the Crimson Trace LG-401 for my Dan Wesson Valor. Has anyone ever had these or heard anything on how they fit? It's a lot of money to spend on something if I could potentially be unhappy with them...

Thanks in advance for your help.

IMHO I think they are a Waste of Time and Money.......... But some people like them.

I like them, I've had a set of them on my CCO for about 8 months now. I walk out the door to go to work between 1:00 and 2:00AM every morning. To me that laser is a whole lot faster and easier than night sights in the dark. I've had 2 other 1911's with them in the past, I'm pretty much sold on them. Mike

i have some for my Glock 20 and love them. they are great for practicing. i wouldn't rely on them because batteries do die but in a self defense situation i feel they would put a person at a greater advantage.

I have them and the only time I put them on, is at the range. I use them to see which bad habits I need to work on. I do not use them for carry.

Personally have not seen need for myself (yet). Have a set of front activated on a G19 for wife to play with. See no major disadvantage, does not change grip much, has on/off switch if you want it off. Not having one because battery might be dead is no real issue since you still have your regular sights as well as the laser when battery is good..
