Can someone give me some recomendations for a laser sight for my M&P? I am having a hard time deciding between a Crimson Trace or one that will mount on the accessory rail. I also want one that will not come apart after a few hundred rounds. Any suggestions?

Far and away I recommend the Crimson Trace.

Nothing else to manipulate, just grip the pistol and it's activated. Most of the accessory rail based lasers require activating and deactivation with another hand or motion and risk you putting your hand in front of the muzzle or finger right about the trigger.

The rail mounted options also become an all on or all off proposition. The Crimson Trace is activated and deactivated by applying and releasing pressure on the grip.

Most importantly, the Crimson Trace system will fit in most all standard holsters, the rail mounted ones do not.

Have I convinced you?

+1 for CTG. In addition to having a great product, their customer services is outstanding.

They also have an on/off button a little lower than the activation button and it is recessed so that you won't turn it off/on by accident, but you can do so easily if you mean to.

Crimson Trace is the way to go. I have had one on my M&P 9c for three years without a problem. Besides, that leaves your rail free for a wepons light like this one.

CT Customer Service can't be beat. My wife bought a CT laser for her LCP and it worked for a week and then started eating batteries. They shipped a new one and told us to return the defective one in the same box. She hasn't had another problem with the new unit.

I own a MPC 9 with crimson trace and Love it. If you are thinking of a laser solution the Ct can't be beat!!!

I installed the Crimson Trace on my M&P 9c yesterday and shot it today. I am quite pleased with it and, in my opinion, it is THE way to go.

I like the Crimson trace lasers, but I'd try out one of these that I've seen at a gunshop lately..

Viridian laser

It's one of those green ones I kept hearing about.
The one big advantage is that it can be seen very easily during the daytime, the run time is longer, and it will pulse or steady burn.

I do suspect that it would work well with night vision too.
