Mine is equipped with CTC Laser Grips. I like them as an adjunct to my night sights, but my first instinct is to just use the sights. My instinct is not (nor will it ever be) to look for a laser dot, but my front sight. However, there are situations where the laser is one clever little device. A little time on the range training with the laser will make you a believer.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with a .45 ACP. But be aware, a 147 Grain 9mm will out penetrate a .45 JHP in any instance or class. And the newer ones do expand; it's an excellent LE round.
