I voted night sights over laser grips.

Crimson Trace laser grips are interesting devices, but seem superfulous for right-handed shooters, as they will find the only time the laser paints the target is when they have already decided to shoot. Notice how when the trigger finger is in register, the inside of the finger blocks the laser. Lefty's may have different results, depending upon whether shooting an autoloader or revolver, as well as shooting grip.

My training group conducted an experiment with some shooters using Crimson Trace grips. The shooters performed a 5-shot drill with laser, monitored by a shot timer. The next drill was the same, except we put a piece of tape across the laser. In each case, the shooter fired faster without the laser.

The laser could be used to compensate for situations where using the iron sights is not possible, such as the shooter is in a awkward position. This would take a good deal of practice to perfect.
