Default Anyone using crimson trace grips for their 3d gen?

A forum search didn't turn up much, so I'll ask if anyone is using the crimson trace for double-stack 3d gens:



Do you like them? And do they increase the grip size significantly?

Got them on two fittynineohsomethings. They increase the grip size, but I would not characterize it as "significantly". Just a little bit, and they have a nice shape to them so unless you have really small hands I'm guessing you'd be okay.

I guess I like them but since I can't really see the laser in bright sunlight (pretty much all day long hereabouts) the utility is not 100%. They're a quality product and work the way they're supposed to. And CT's customer service is pretty good.

Have them on my 5906 for home defense and love them. The grip feels like it was custom made to my hand.

I am a huge fan of Crimson Trace. I have them on my J frames and they are fantastic. I do have a set on my 5943 and I dont really like them. I find the button is in a weird place and sometimes I need to adjust my grip. I think they should have gone with a front or rear activated button like they do on other models.

Definitely a buy for other models but I am not sure i would recommend CT grips for a 59/xx series pistol.

Forgot to mention that. Agree completely. Buttons (one on each side) take a bit of getting used to.

Thanks to everyone for the replies!

I do have smaller than average hands, and my 5903 with a straight backstrap is about the maximum that I would call comfortable. I might get the grips, but based on the replies I'll be sure to go with someone who accepts returns.
