and it don't stop.

So.
I've been thinking of adding something fancy to my 1911, and while all kinds of fancy custom gunsmithing comes to mind, I'm not gonna do that. ( A. it works just fine the way it is, B. don't have the patience to be without my carry piece for a few months while a smith works on it)


That in mind, I've been thinking of adding a laser of some sort.
Anyone have any experience with these?

Main one I've been looking at is Crimson trace:

(incidentally, that website is run by a buddy of mine, who is a kick ass guy)

PROs:
These are the most practical, I think. No modification to the gun, and no re-training to activate the laser if the balloon goes up. Also, I have a Pearce grip insert on my gun, so the lasermax would probably feel a bit familiar.

Pro? not sure if blocking the laser with my finger while holding pistol at ready is a good thing or not.

CON: I loooove my current grips. ( http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/4963/img0029sgv.jpg )
They look awesome, and work even better.




Second, is the Lasermax guide rod laser.

PROs: This one is obviously the most OPERATOR, and coolest looking. Obviously more inherently in line with the flight path of the projectile. Also, I've seen these tested in Sigs, and they just don't break.

CON: re-train to include flicking the little laser switch. Expensive!! Have to replace my current guide rod.
Most importantly, I have to replace my slide stop. Now, as far as I understand, the slide stop to lower lug fit is a very important part of 1911 accuracy, and I'm afraid to screw with it.


What say you?
