Title: Problem with Crimson Trace
Post by: wwdkd on October 22, 2010, 06:11:35 PM
As the title of the thread indicates, I had a big problem with my Crimson Trace grips today. I went to the range today and took with me my CZ 75 P-01 with CT grips. I fired about 100 rounds with the grips turned off, then I switched them on and fired two accurate magazines through without a problem. Then I loaded my third magazine, took aim using only my CT grips, no hit on target. I thought maybe I just missed. Nope. I looked down my sights and the laser dot was nowhere near the point of aim. They were 12 inches to the right and six inches below my sights! This really concerned me as I have been carrying this gun everyday for the past few month with CT grips on and I keep thinking what if that were to happen if I ever needed them. I don't know if I should keep them on for now or wait until I can test them again to see if the problem happens again or just not use them anymore (I would hate to do that since I paid so much for them) or I was thinking about contacting Crimson Trace and seeing if they'd send me a new pair. What does everyone think? If you have crimson trace grips, has this ever happened to yours?

Sounds more like the grips moved like they where not locked into place. Are they tight all the way around? Otherwise CT does have great service.

I checked the grips while at the range and the grip screws were tight. I didn't think that was the issue though due to the that I could see the actual laser diode was very askew.

The manufacturer should always be the first contact...

Absolutely, I think it is outstanding. I've dealt with them on a couple of occasions and they were extremely polite, professional and accommodating.

Yep, even if they did snicker when I told them I dropped mine in a toilet.. :o..no, that's not covered under warrantee, but the system did recover fully. :) 8) ;D

Check the front edge also. After bouncing around in my car for 2 days mine when out of wack also. Found the front edge to be just slightly high while the screws where still tight.
