ASH556, thanks very much for posing this question. I have been having the same sort of thoughts.
Grant, do you have some input on the use of both the Surefire and the Crimson Trace? Specifically, when you “flash” the light, do you also use the laser?
I have an X300 with a DG-11 and a CT-617, all mounted on a G-17.
Are there any negatives in your mind to the laser and light both being used at the same time? I’m an old fellow now, and the arthritis in my hands makes it a bit more difficult to operate them independently.
I’ve obtained a G-17 plastic dummy gun, and modded it so I can mount the light and laser for practice. But it’s still tough to work them seperately. I am saving up for an extended barrel and can.
I hope this adds rather than distracts from the discussion. Thanks very much for any input.
ETA: SWATcop556 - I’d also value your thoughts on this, of course.
I definitely think it adds to the discussion, and thanks for posting. I was wondering the same thing, but figured I’d give it a try when the parts got in and see how it worked for me. Still good to get perspective from those who have run it before, though!
Of course I’m going to practice with it when all my parts get here, but in the meantime, any tips on how to maintain a good grip on the pistol without activating the light/laser?
I squeeze as I normally do in a shooting situation and simply run my trigger finger over the laser (blocks it). Doing this also forces you to have proper trigger finger discipline!
