So this is a copy of the Crimson trace Glock Laser Grip

$35 as opposed to $229 :-) not that I'd be putting a real steel laser grip on an Airsoft Pistol as thats a big no no and an insane waste of money to boot.

Some Pics of the laser grip on my KWA Glock 18C.







So why would you want something like this for your GBB pistol apart from its inherent gucciness which should be reason enough?

Well laser sights and holsters can be a challenge particularly SERPA holsters.

Was'nt sure it would fit my SERPA holster but it does perfectly.



The Pros

5 mins to install

Looks Cool

Fits SERPA Holster

Reasonably cheap

The Cons

Activation is a bit fiddly works better when I am wearing gloves

May not be comfortable for people with small hands

Keep the original pin as when you remove the sight the long pin used to hold the laser grip in place digs uncomfortably into your hand so you will want to put the original pin back in the glock if you are not using the laser grip.


Conclusion

This was an impulse buy I did'nt put too much thought into it . Happy that it was so easy to install. I will post up how well it holds up to a skirmish at a future date.

Hopefully they will release some more Crimson Trace clones for other models.

All going to plan I will get to try it out at G-TAC2 Urban Xtreme this weekend.
