The latest adventure comparing my Crimson Trace LG-850 Lasergrips to the great Ameriglo CAP/Pro Operator night sights was very interesting. I used Chris Edwards’s 4567 Drill, which also happens to be the Drill of the Week at pistol-forum.com this week.
Technically, the laser won… by literally one one-hundredth of a second.
| Irons | Laser | |
| Total Score | 12.73s | 12.72s |
| String 1, 2H | 2.34s | 2.12s |
| String 2, SHO | 4.52s | 3.77s |
| String 3, WHO | 3.40s | 3.73s, -1pt |
| String 4, 2H | 2.47s | 2.10s |
The results don’t tell the whole tale, however. The LG-850 is really doing a number on my left hand when I shoot WHO, to the point where I’m literally developing a flinch from the discomfort I feel from each shot. I’m hoping it will resolve itself with some dry fire and practice before heading to Rogers next month.

So you need to start carrying two pistols, one with a Lasergrip for strong hand shooting, and a separate one sans Lasergrip for weak hand shooting…
Yeah, and carry them in a duel wielding shoulder holster. LIKE…A…BOSS.
Nah, not a shoulder holster. ToddG is a hard core gunslinger–he needs to carry them in a dual cowboy rig. That or go all modern on us and carry dual AIWB…
So what exactly is causing the discomfort?
And I vote for the dual AIWB….

He just needs a New York Reload holster . . .

Why NO love from sight manufacturers for us guys with Sigs? xD
And don’t say: get a real pistol or I will have to drown your goldfish.
JLM! Trijicon makes its “HD” sights for the SIG. While I don’t like them quite as much as the Ameriglo CAP/Pro combo, they’re certainly very good sights. In fact, they’re the sights I have on my backup G17.
Very impressed that the results were so close with the Night Sights. Wouldn’t want to be on the opposing team against either gun! lol
