Revolver Laser Grips - Who's using them?

[ssb]

I've had LG405s on one of my J-Frames since September 2016. No issues from my end, to include 100 rounds of Gold Dot 135gr+P and somewhere around 1K mixed factory loads and reloads.

I will say that I'm not enamored with the shape and size of the grips. I'd really prefer them to be a bit wider/have more of a palm swell, and they seem to be more of a straight grip than, say, the Uncle Mike's Speigel clones. Don't get me wrong: I can make them work, and do because I really like the capability they provide, but they could be a bit better shaped. I don't perceive any reduction in recoil/increase in shootability due to the rubber air gap thing on the backstrap.

Have CT405s on two 442 NL J Frames. Used as BUGS and walking the dog guns, but wouldn't want to carry them w/o the CT grips.

I also have 405's on my 442. I use them as night sights in low light.

One set of 405s on my shoot-often (for me at least) J frames started to separate at the connection of the rubber pocket to the plastic side panel. This was after about 6 months or so of ~50rnds/week. I sent them back and they replaced the grips.
So my plan with my current set it to make sure I shoot the gun enough so if it fails it does so within the 3 year warranty period so they can be replaced. An upside to that is more practice on a hard to shoot gun.

My WC (Wiley Clapp) SP101 already had a brass bead front and Novak rear. It appears the 411 fits the LCR, not the SP.

I have that set on mine. They work well but with all the caveats already mentioned about daylight use. I have a problem with the base of the grip wanting to print but I'm also pretty sure that's mostly a holster issue for me. The activation on them is well thought out and I've had great service out of them. They also seem to handle recoil well but that's probably more of a person to person kind of thing.
I also have their 405 model for my J frame and I couldn't imagine not having it on there now.

That unit mates nicely with the 3" version.

My 303's showed up. After the little one goes to bed I'll install.

Kind of gripes my gizzard that CT had grips for both the Kimber K-6 and the first iteration of the Remington R51 before they hit the streets (many months, in the case of the K-6), but as for the Colt Cobra-- crickets. Especially considering that there are a bunch of short-grip Detective Specials, Cobras and Agents out there that could use them.

My 442 wears 105s. Don't really carry it outside the house that much, but it's great to throw in my pajama pants pockets when I am studying from home or otherwise desperately trying to avoid compromising my comfort.

So got them installed. Pics tomorrow. Initial impressions:

Lighter than the Pachmayr Compacs they replaced
Better speedloader clearance than the Pachmayrs
Good angle on the grip
Comfy in hand
Fast, consistent activation of laser
I already appreciate the teaching tool these can provide
*dry firing in the house I found the laser dot distracted me from sights - I have zero prior laser exp

I know when I first got mine I did a lot of dry fire at a switch plate on the wall. The dot really helped me see what my trigger pull was doing to the gun. When my wife first started dry firing she was having a hard time keeping the dot on the plate through the entire pull and it helped me to explain what was happening to her.
