Great Laser Sight

Came a day early (free shipping of course), thanks Adorama! Incredibly easy to install and works like a charm. My pattern of shots has improved. It's amazing to see actually where you are pointing the pistol. Used in conjunction with the sights, it's amazing my improvement. Will buy a Crimson Trace for every pistol I purchase. Great product.

Best Investment in Defensive Carry

I purchased a set of laser grips for my Glock 26 and had them installed by a gunsmith. I could have done it myself, but I got them from the gunsmith so it made sense to have him do it. He adjusted to the iron sights, and I put it on a sandbag and adjusted it at 10 yards by aiming at the bullseye and then moving the laser to where the bullet impacted. After about 10 round I had the sights zeroed perfectly. I had a "Hostage-3" target, and with my 26 with its short little barrel I was able to consistently get head shots at 10 yards, never hitting the hostage, and never missing the bad guy. I am giving the 26 to my wife and putting another set on my 27. If you know anything about the physiology of armed combat, you know that fine motor skills are the first to go in a flood of adrenaline. Laser grips are an edge that may save your life. CTC -- I'm convinced. This is a great product!

Problem with

I like the laser but...after firing about 100 rounds I have a sore on my thumb knuckle joint where the handle that I snug my thumb web up to has rubbed it raw. There are pictures on Glock Talk showing another with the same problem. Neither he or I have been able to figure out the way to solve this problem. But for that and the fact a green laser is not offered for my G26 I would rate a 5.

Great Product and Great Transaction

The price and delivery speed wrere excellent have delt with Adorama many times and have always been very satisfied. The Crimson Trace arrived USPS in great shape. The box included all the tools needed for a quick installation, less than ten minutes on my Glock 26. First target shots indicated the beam was considerably off to the right. Tweaking the lateral movement screw with the included tool, brought beam to "dead on" at 50 ft. No vertical adjustment was needed. You may want a different "dead-on" sighting distance. The only con I have is the price in general. Lasers are cheap and production costs and materials should not warrant such high prices after initial design costs are captured. I guess supply and demand dictate present costs.

Superb quality

The 852 is my first laser product, since I'm kind of old school. First time shooting with it took some getting used to, but that's a technique issue not a crimson trace issue. Love the superb quality, free lifetime battery replacement, dead-on zero w/ no adjustment, and the major selling point of the LG: it fits in all my SERPA gear and changes no fitment whatsoever in all my holsters. Great innovation, CT!

Didn't like it

I put the LG-852 on my Gen4 27. The product was fine and worked as advertised, but it changed the dimensions of the grip and I hated it. I couldn't get a comfortable grip on the gun & my accuracy suffered. CT was great to deal with & took the product back. I have CT products on a couple of revolvers and love them, but not the LG-852.

Another EXCELLENT CTC Product

Purchased this laser for my Glock 27 because I own probably 8 or so other Crimson Trace products which have NEVER failed me, and I LOVE knowing that they are there AND LOVE using them as the need arises. I am a retired Police Officer having spent 26+ years in Law Enforcement and If there are any better laser products out there, I have NOT been able to find them and I have had the opportunity to try almost EVERY laser that is on the market at this time. NOTHING compares to the quality, reliability or the Customer Service that I have received from Crimson Trace. Many have tried to imitate, but NONE compare. The only change that I would implement on this lasergrip is maybe the addition of some texture to avoid slippage in a sweaty hand/palm. Thanks again for supplying me with ANOTHER one of your TERRIFIC products. PLEASE keep up the GREAT WORK as I look forward to additional products/purchases in the future, Vic

Realities

Installed on a G27 - but also with a Cominolli external safety. Understandably, CTC would not warranty even a modest, left side cut-out necessary to accommodate the external safety - and I appreciate their position. Went with the modification regardless: no measured rocking, rolling, or failure to stay on zero period! The actuator pressure is dead on for intentional on/off. But, the grip is slippery and it does add significant grip thickness. Love CTC and love this laser - but, until their next-gen adds checkering, I do recommend adding some H-patterned, adhesive texture along the back strap.

install and enjoy

I recently installed the laser grip on my G27, I was a little concerned with the thought of having additional mass in my hand on such a small pistol, but believe me it was actually an improvement! I have the gen 4 which gets smaller than the gen 3 once you take the back straps completely off. with this being the case, the Crimson Trace design is perfect for and function. The grip went on in less than 5 minutes and worked perfectly. A few days later I went to the local indoor range and found that the laser was dead on at 20 yards and that is truly what I wanted the zero to be set at. After all, it is a CCW sized weapon. Over all I can not come up with a complaint of any kind or a suggestion for improvement. I feel much more confident of my ability to hit what I want, and more importantly not hitting anything collateral. I wear bifocals but have 20/20 distant vision. the sights become hard to see and time consuming to align. The laser is perfect alternative.

First laser sight, but not my last.

I bought one for my new G27 with the intention of conceal & carry. I plan to buy G23 and my current. G22 duty weapon, and will equip both of these units also.

An OUTSTANDING company!

I would just like to thank Craig, Ryan and all the fine folks at Crimson Trace. I had an issue with one of my lasergrips and they immediately sent me a new replacement with a postage paid return envelope for the broken one. It's becoming increasingly rare to find a company that stands by their product the way these people do. Thanks again guys, your courtesy and professionalism have made me a customer for life. You're the BEST!!

Absolutely Awesome!

Easy to install, just like changing the gen4 backstrap. I don't need to extoll the virtue of lasers, you are already here. A wonderful upgrade to my daily carry. Also a very valuable adjunct to dry fire practice, especially with such a short slide and sight plane. Do you flinch? Do you anticipate the recoil? You will find out!

Excellent Buy

Getting a pressure activated laser on your pistol is the way to go. This is an excellent laser which I would recommend to everyone. The only two drawbacks I have with it are that it costs close to as much as a glock does, and it makes the grip wider and a little less solid in your grip which could be an issue if you're stressed and your hands are sweaty. But honestly, the only thing I would really change with this laser besides the price, would be to put a more aggressive texture on it to ensure you never lose a solid grip on your glock.

A stand out company in this day and age!

I bought this laser for my Glock 27 4+ years ago but hadn't used it in a while. I put it on my pistol after cleaning it one day and found out the laser didn't work very well anymore. I tried several different batteries with no luck. So I called Crimsontrace and they gave me a return authorization for service. Within 2 weeks I received a new laser with NO charge to me and no questions. In this day and age I can barely find companies that don't follow the 1 min 50 foot rule let alone 4 + years. I'm sold on their company and their products. I bought 2 other lasers for my wife and my mom and I'm looking at adding one for my 1911. I don't think you can go wrong with the product and if something does happen, Crimsontrace is there for u. I would give them 10 stars if I could! Thanks Crimson, u have customers for life.

Excellent

A friend gave me this for Christmas presant. It is the best presant I got. The fit is perfect on the Glock 27. The LG-852 works perfectly every time I use it. The only problem with all lasers is you have to stay proficient with the iron sights, any laser is a machine and is prone to stop working at a bad time, there are drills I use to keep me ready for these stoppages. Crimsom Trace is the best laser I have found.
