Ok, yeah the title is a little cheesy, but the question is valid. I have a S&W 642 as my primary CCW piece. I normally carry it in my front pants pocket, sometimes in a IWB hoster and most recently in the front inside pocket of my winter coat.
Since getting the 642 I've been practicing with it a lot and notice that it's not the easiest gun to aim and shoot. Plus I'm thinking in a real situation I may only get the chance to point and shoot without really aiming with the sights.
Recently I've been thinking of putting on a set of the Crimson Trace grips that have the laser pointer to help out in the aiming. I'm thinking this will speed up that first shot and any follow up shots as needed.
I'm wondering though if by carrying the 642 in tight confines like my pants pocket, that it will turn on the laser function intermittently and waste the battery. Plus I'm not sure if it will add any discerning print that may make it easier to recongnize as a firearm in my pocket
Also, do you prefer the 205 or 305 model and why.
So what do you think about these laser pointer grips? Worth the money?
