I'll admit to having purchased a set of Laser Grips and I'll also confess that after trying them a time or two I put them back in the box.

My experience told me that I was focusing on that little dot and would not be aware of what else may be happening. I imagined not being aware of what a prospective bad guy may be doing. If he's dropping his gun while I'm focusing on the little dot I could be in trouble. If he's grabbing my family member while I'm looking for my dot I could be in trouble.

I don't want to limit my question to just this one brand.

To those of you who have lasers of some sort on your carry piece what are your experiences with them? Do they activate when you don't want them to? Do the batteries die prematurely? When firing with a laser what is your impression of the experience?

The model I had features a switch to turn off the pressure switch. If I had these on a gun would I carry the handgun with that switch on, and chancing other pressures putting the laser on and revealing my concealed handgun? Or would the switch be off and be useless until any potential trouble is over with.

So I'm putting the issue out for input from the fine and experienced folks here.
