Gray Rider,

My wife appropriated my S&W Model 681 after I put Crimson Trace grips on it zeroed for 25 yards with Speer .38+P 135 grain Short Barrel ammunition. At any reasonable range in the house the bullet will hit within an inch and a half of the laser dot.

Amusing anecdote: When I showed the grips to my wife and demonstrated the laser, she asked, "How do you turn it on?"

I told her, "Pick it up."

She repeated, "How do you turn it on?"

I repeated, "Pick it up."

She fixed me with her interpretation of a steely glare and asked, "How. Do. You. Turn. It. On?"

"Pick. It. Up."

Once she understood that I wasn't doing an Abbot and Costello routine, she was as happy as a kid with a new toy. When I told her that the laser may have an intimidation factor, she said that wasn't something she was worried about. If someone does break in, she ain't waitin' to see if he's intimidated.
