GlockenHammer:
Same thing happened to me. While I was at Cabeles yesterday I noticed they had some mounted on a Kimber Ultra Carry, which is what I often carry, so I gave them a try. Every time I brought the pistol up, my finger blocked the laser since I’ve trained myself to index on the side of the pistol (my wife had the same problem). I suspect since I have decades of indexing in the same spot, it would be extremely difficult to retrain myself to index lower on the weapon.
However, I did like the sights and the operation of the switch (the one I looked at was a front switch model) was not a problem. The front strap is small enough it didn’t appreciably effect my grip, so I think I could get used to it fast.
But that finger indexing thing has me a little worried…Sure would be a shame to spend that much money on the sights, and then find out you can’t teach an old dog (me) new tricks.

I’ve been thinking about laser sights, but the price is pretty high, so I haven’t taken the plunge yet.
I looked at the Crimson Trace sights, but don’t think I would like the over-molding. I once bought a pair of over-molded grips for my Kimber Ultra Carry and didn’t like the feel. The picture on the Crimson web page (front button sights) doesn’t look like it would be as bad as the grips I bought, but $300+ is a lot to spend…Have any of you used this setup and what are your impressions?
I also looked at the Laermax web site for an internal for my Glock (the web page doesn’t show an option for my Kimber Ultra), but I’m not that sure about the switch operation. Dry firing with my Glock, I don’t have any problem pushing against the take down lever during the draw, but it sure doesn’t come naturally to me. I question if in a high stress situation I would efficiently operate the sight. What do you folks think, do you have any problems?
Thanks for the help!
