I am a left hand shooter. The pictures give me the impression this will not work for me in a 2 hand grip because it appears my thumbs will block the light. Can anyone confirm?

I agree I think you will have to adjust your grip,but i do believe that just a little practice and it will become second nature, I'm a right handed shooter and I had to adjust my grip a bit for this laser but now it is no problem

I do own one of these CT laser grips but I am not a southpaw. I would say that it depends in how you position your thumbs with a two handed grip. I think it is possible to position your thumbs in a way that does not interfere with the laser and grip the firearm securely, but it may involve an adjustment to your current grip and lots of practice.

I shoot right-handed but I can see that you would need to adjust your grip significantly.

Please forgive me for my tardy reply. I wanted to find the time to fully test employing the gun left handed short of going to the range. I'm a righty so support hand shooting awkward for me. With discipline, "you" could manage to keep "your" support hand thumb clear of the laser however, it leaves less of your thumb on the side frame so stability may be an issue. Also keep in mind that I'm a small guy so my hands follow accordingly, if you have big mitts I doubt this laser is for you. An important thing to consider is that at the range it's far easier to be more disciplined to manage your grip. However, when under a high stress situation your inner monkey will take over and I suspect your grip will defeat the laser unless you train feverishly. I would also add that I'm not a big fan of the rear actuated switch. For me the switch falls in a portion of my hand that requires a death grip to activate it. For this reason alone I would not recommend buying this unit however; your mileage may vary. Good luck with your decision.

I have this mounted on my Ruger P89DC and have found that the only time the laser is blocked is when my index finger is riding up along the slide aka "indexing the slide". As you drop your index finger down toward the trigger to prepare to fire at a threat the finger clears the laser and the red dot becomes visible. The laser sits high enough that your hand gripping the gun should not block it unless you are wearing very bulky gloves. The laser is mounted just below the slide but above the trigger on the frame of the pistol. You should have no problem unless, like me, you have trained to have your index finger high on the slide when drawing and punching out the pistol.

well if you get a shot gun that is left handed pretty much everything will be mirrored. But if you want to mount this on the right side of a standard shotgun it wont work. If you're a lefty just trying to use this in a standard set up it really shouldn't be in your way. I shoot mine lefty frequently and has never bothered me.

Hi, how are you? Thanks for your question. Are the grip panels not fully touching the frame of the firearm, or is it only that the two grip panels are not touching each other at the back of the grip? Your friends at Fuddlebucks

Mine is right handed and I'm not aware of a left handed version. I don't think cross draw is a option as you must use your trigger finger to release the pistol from the holster.

No it doesn't interfere with your grip, if you're right handed. The clip is on the frame and is above your trigger finger and runs parallel to your finger. If you're a lefty it will interfere with the safety and the slide stop.

Yes, holster is on the left and is easily accessible for Rt handed shooters. The problem is the size of the holster, as the prior two posters mentioned. It is just too small for a number of my pistols, with no chance of fitting anything with a light mounted on it.

Mine is mounted at 3 o'clock so I can activate my light with my left thumb while in the shooting position. The switch for my light is on its rear end (Streamlight TLR-1s) so it works out perfect for me. Your results may vary. The nice thing is that you can put it just about anywhere it feels good to you. Good luck.

I'm not sure. I would think it could be from the design of it. I am Left handed but, carry it on my Right side using my Left hand to support the camera and shoot with the Right. It does work good for me. One thing to watch for: Always make sure the mounting screw is tight, mine came loose and I dropped the camera on cement, while still wearing the Sling, Luck I didn't do any damage to the camera. I do hope this will help answer your question.Thank You!

Yes, it gives you a firm three-fingered grip. The only down-side I've noticed is that sometimes the pad of my pinkie gets into the small gap between the grip and the grip extension. It's not noticeable while shooting, but leaves a red mark on my finger afterwards. Even so, I definitely prefer this to a two-fingered grip with a flush magazine though.

No it is compatible, what you may find is with the shorter hand grip glocks the button got the light will actually effect your grip position. Example on my glock 22, and 19 the button to activate the light is right under my middle finger so when I grip with a good hand position I occasionally trigger the light I intentionally. Hope that helps

I actually shimmed my button with little bits of plastic under the rubber cap, to make the button easier to activate. It's buried and quite stiff. I think you're far more likely to pop off the pocket clip and lose the clip. (happened twice on mine, lucky enough to find it again both times -- And I squeezed closed the part that holds onto the barrel to grip tighter, but i'm not sure of the effectiveness there.) Just make sure the light is INSIDE the pocket, and you should be okay to not lose the flashlight itself. :o)

Mine is not equipped with the light, but is very form fitting. If you buy the holster fora gun equipped with the light, i wouldn't think it wiuld be a problem.

I have had no issues with the grip. I would remove it, clean the contacts on the bottom, and try again.

You can, but it's probably going to be a bit less effective than a grip that doesn't rely heavily on the thumb for movement. I have no idea how I played MMOs before this mouse. It even has massive utility for the FPS games I play. I would change my grip style to use it & never look back. :)

i use a palm grip works wonderful for me, its got a nice curve to it. I have smaller hands as im female, i'm not sure if that makes a difference

I got one of these for a good friend who is a left handed shooter. He states that it works just fine for him, no complaints. I just had to position the rear butt strap that, I added, so that the straps buckle was on the other side.
