Laser for P938-CT or Sig?

[robert45]

My wife has a Sig laser on her P238. Before I get a Kydex holster for my P938, I need to decide if I would like a laser on it. Then which laser.

It appears that the Crimson Trace laser is activated when the pistol is gripped, whereas the Sig laser has an on/off button. Comments are appreciated.

If you have to hit a switch, it is of little value.   You want the laser to be ON when you deply the weapon, from gripping the gun or touching the trigger or activating the safety or something like that.   A 938 (which I carry) you already have a safety to hit as you draw.  The stress of hitting a laser switch in addition to that while trying to avoid getting shot etc seems like too much to me, so I say use the grip to activate design.

 

The trigger switch is not wise on this pistol, it is for sloppy trigger guns like a glock, not a 1911 trigger, and you would fire the gun just to turn on the laser with that design.

Not a fan of lasers in self defense situation.  Neat novelty at the range but that is about it.

I agree with the posts above. it's a gimmick -- K.I.S.S.   :2cents:
