I do not know if the hammer will fall with enough force to fire the weapon, but it concerned me enough to avoid it until I knew for sure. I'd sure like to know. Thanks

Thanks for testing it out. I shall now consider obtaining one

I was checking out a crimson trace and the laser sights are almost as much as the gun!?!?!?!?! I do want to change the sights out (if I dont get the laser) and hope that wont be too hard...as well as the beavertail.

I brought 2 friends with me and now they want 1. That bug just keeps biting people :-)

Don't take this the wrong way, as everyone has the right to have a gun they like, but those "grim reaper grips" won't win you any "Good Guy" awards from a Grand Jury in the event you actually have to use it, IMHO.
