FyrCapn53 from United States, KS Public Profile

It appears my original review did not save the Pros I thought I listed. As stated earlier, I am a 67 yr old, retired, firefighter. Although I hate to admit it, my eyesight, reflexes and physical strength are changing with the calendar. A laser on a defensive handgun can be indispensable to a senior adult. Statistics indicate that most defensive shoots are within 7 yards and in less than 3 seconds. A laser allows faster "target acquisition" than trying to focus on a front sight with aging eyes. Although not the primary purpose, a laser may have a secondary benefit of convincing a threat to stand down. Lasers are not a panacea and should not be relied on as a threat only but with training and practice, they can boost ones self-confidence in facing a life threatening situation.

I own a variety of CTC red and green weapon lasers installed on Glock, Sig, Kimber, Taurus and Ruger handguns. Recently, my Master Series LG-901 (red) also had the rubber protecting the activation pad disintegrate. This particular grip was manufactured 1/2013 and probably purchased that same year. This is my primary EDC and I am sure the rubber protective pad withstood considerable contact. Early March I emailed CTC Customer Support to inquire if the grip could be repaired and that I did not expect it to be warrantied. March 10, received a reply to send requested information regarding the item. I emailed my reply Sunday, March 28 and received their reply today (Monday). As I expected, they said it was out of the 3 yr Warranty and they did not offer repair but would sell me a replacement at a 50% discount and to call them if interested. I called and spoke with a very helpful gentleman and did order a new Master Series LG-901G at the 50% off rate. I initially figured if they could repair the unit for half the cost of a new one, I could live with that. As it is, I am upgrading to a new green laser and still getting a fair price. Their products may be pricier than others but I have no qualms regarding their quality and I am extremely happy with the service I received from their CS Department today. I am a 67 yr old retired firefighter and not independently wealthy but I rely on trusted brands of defensive weapons and accessory companies like Crimson Trace and Surefire
