Default Laser/Light Combo for Carry

Just wondering what are you guys using for a laser/light combo on your pistols for carry? Or which laser are you guys using for carry? What is your opinion on the models you tried.

Please don't turn this into a debate about the principle of using a laser/light combo or laser on your carry pistol. Thank you!

Okay, no debate. I don't use one.

While not my carry piece I have a Viridion light/laser on a G21 for my HDW. They are small, powerful and rugged.

I'd definitely get those, unfortunately the Glock 30 model doesn't fit a Glock 30S/SF, and they do not make a Glock 30S/SF model. Those would be perfect for me.

No laser, no light...don't like the thought of a battery powered gadget not working in the middle of a situation. And you know darn good and well when that battery is going to fail...right in the middle of a life or death situation.

I use a handheld flashlight, and Crimson Trace lasers on my carry and nightstand guns. I have a TLR-3 mounted on my Mossy 12ga along with a Crimson Trace Railmaster. I change the batteries every 6 months, along with my smoke detector batteries.

I believe the S&W labeled laser grip that came on my 340PD is a Crimson Trace. It's a pretty comfortable grip but I don't know how well the laser words since I don't normally don't have it turned on. I played with it one evening and couldn't see the dot unless it was absolutely pitch black. I found the hole where the laser is was filled with pocket fuzz.

Hi Philadelphia Patriot:

I almost exclusively carry revolvers - specifically, J-frames. I have laser grips on them - Crimson Trace LG-405s on the Air Weights, and LG-105s on the all steel Model 649. I carry a small, non-tactical, flashlight in a pouch on my belt whenever I am armed.

At home, my nightstand/"bump in the night" pistol is my S&W M&P 40c with Crimson Trace laser grip and a small S&W flashlight on the rail.

Regards,

Dave
