For the past two years I have utilized a Crimson Trace laser grip for my Glock 27. I have made the difficult decision to remove the laser from my carry gun.
Two years ago, when I first placed the laser on the Glock, my accuracy immediately declined. However, after a short time, my speed and accuracy greatly improved from what it had been without the laser. I believe that for some time I was faster and more accurate because of the laser. However, I now believe that the laser is holding me back. Let me share why I believe this:
After thousands and thousands of rounds I now instinctively find the target without the aid of the laser. So I am really at a point were I do not even look for the laser anymore. My concentration now is solely on finding the front sight.
Another problem with the laser is that because I am left handed the presence of the laser moves my hand lower on the handle of the pistol. I anticipate that removing the laser will move my hand higher increasing my speed and control of the handgun.
I do not regret using the laser. It has been a great tool to build my confidence, especially in shooting from retention. However, at this time I am hopeful that removing the laser will open up new opportunities as I seek to increase my skills.
