LaserGrips for 1911s- Any comments?

I have never used lasergrips, but I HAVE used a lasersight for that very same issue. I have an inexpensive ont that clips on the trigger guard. Put it on, turn it on, and dryfire...and you can see exactly what you're doing wrong and (almost as important) when you're doing it.
Not as good as a coach watching you, but better than nothing.

Yeah, I should have said this last night:
Do you plan on leaving the laser on the gun as a relatively permanent accessory? If *no*, consider one of those el-cheapo lasersights like I described in my post (the ones that clip on the triggerguard). I will do very nicely for the work you describe, and probably costs a TON less then lasergrips. plus, you can transfer them to any gun in your arsenal to practice trigger control.
however, if you DO plan on keeping it on the gun, go with the lasergrips or some other permanently attached laser. The removable trigger guard mounted ones are too easy to bump and ruin the alignment.

"I especially like the enhanced training in point shooting that the laser can be used for at home."
Especially if you have a cat.
Nothing is quite as amusing as a cat and a laser-dot. Not even a bug zapper and a sixpack of something good.
