    laser grips

    Are laser grips legal in PRK? I just read an article in Guns and Ammo and it says that in certain areas lasers are illigal on handguns.
    Are they here?

    What do you think about laser grips in general? Are they worse the money?

    EDIT 2020: To be fair that seems to apply to many Westerners also.

    I have never seen any law that would make them illegal., I have a set for my Sig P226R. I got over them and took them off though.

    They are sold in all major sporting good stores here and online stores ship them to CA so its a safe bet that they are legal

      Should be legal; I've got 'em installed on my Sig 229 and am very happy with them.

          heres the PC code on lasers and firearms use

          417.25. (a) Every person who, except in self-defense, aims or
          points a laser scope, as defined in subdivision (b), or a laser
          pointer, as defined in subdivision (c), at another person in a
          threatening manner with the specific intent to cause a reasonable
          person fear of bodily harm is guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by

          harm and who knows or reasonably should know that the person at whom
          he or she is aiming or pointing is a peace officer, is guilty of a
          misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for a term
          not exceeding six months.
          (b) Any person who commits a second or subsequent violation of

            Have laser grips on my S&W 637 airlight. I like them because I can cock the trigger, aim the beam, and shoot on target, all with one hand.

              Mine seem to do very nicely at putting bullets near the dot up to the 25 yard point.

                One problem I tend to have with my Sig and laser grips is that I apply too much oil on the rails and it splashes on the laser causing it to become distorted. Easy on the oil.
