Laser sights, how many of your handguns have 'em?

Thanks for the post we just seen these grip lasers at the gun show up in Jacksonville. Fl. Was trying to get more info on them.

I have been attending shooting classes about once a month and my wife will come along about 40% of the time. These are tactical classes taught by a police instructor. Many are in limited or low light venues. Last Sunday we had a handgun class in almost total darkness with hand-held and weapon mounted lights. I only took handguns with lasers. My primary weapon was a S&W 5906 with a Crimson Trace laser in a normal holster. I had adjusted the laser to the proper point of the sight picture but had not fired the gun before class. I was astonished by how easy it was to keep the rounds center of mass even in the dark. I pulled a few out of the center due to trying to fire too fast or problems activating the laser (the button is different than on our other laser equipped guns), but I think my groups were tighter than with iron sights and good light. The laser I have practiced with the most is a Crimson Trace on a J-Frame. At 7 yards one hole groups are not unusual with the laser (single action). My wife's handguns are a Glock 19 and a Ruger LCR. The Glock has a Glock light/laser combo and the Ruger uses a Crimson Trace. She shoots well with both guns. We did have a problem with the Glock system but Glock quickly repaired it. There is a tendency to lower the gun and point the laser rather than line up the sights. I would recommend grip mounted lasers.

Too much money. One hundred (or more) for Crimson Trace laser grips. Can't afford them.
None of my hand guns have rails so it would have to be the grip type.

I'm seeing more and more ads for grip mounted lasers these days. I have one handgun with a laser, a Taurus 24/7 .45 acp with a red laser under the front of the barrel. It is my bedside gun for night time prowlers. I figure that when responding to an intruder in the middle of the night, sight picture acquisition will be a problem and the laser will greatly simplify the situation. The downside is that now the pistol won't fit any of my holsters.

I have zero experience with the grip type lasers but it seems that they will still allow the gun to be carried in a standard holster for the gun.
