View Full Version : Laser choice - "always on" vs "instinctive activation"

I own a CM9 and hope to buy a CW380 in the near future...and would like to put lasers on both of them.

I have owned a Ruger LCP for a couple years (really like it). I bought it with the Crimson Trace LG-431 laser. It's the one with the "instinctive action" button that turns the laser on when I squeeze the grip.

It works well. I like it.

But...

There is at least one other choice...and for about 1/2 the price...the Lasermax CF-KAHR-PMG for the CM9.

Lasermax does not actually sell one for the P380 (which I assume would fit the CW380)...so that's a problem...I would want the same laser on both guns...I would just hope that they would eventually make one that fits the CW380.

Anyway...

I wondered what folks thought about the Crimson Trace instinctive action vs the Lasermax always on. I am talking in a tactical, gotta-shoot-the-bad-guy-fast scenario.

Sure be nice to spend 1/2 for the Lasermax.

Thanks...

If you plan on depending for you laser to be on get the CT instinctive. Trying to remember to turn on the laser and then actually doing it under adverse situations is not something I'd like to do.
