I put a set of Crimson Trace grips on my Colt Commander, that I carry at night for better sight acquision in the dark. A light on my Commander is not an option for concealed carry for me. This helps to confirm, before I pull the trigger and send a round downrange, that it will hit what I am aiming at and not someone I don't want to shoot. JMO.

knitepoet, I fall into the category of not practicing enough. I also have to wear glasses to see any sights. I have a crimson trace on my bedside because I can use it without glasses. It comes on when you squeeze the grip with your middle finger or you can not turn it on with a little less pressure. It is red and works well inside but it is not dependable outside in daylight. I like it and plan on keeping it. I don't have one on my carry gun because even a green one is not bright enough to be dependable in daylight and it requires a different holster for my xds. Only you know how well you can see and how much you practice so it is going to be a personal choice.
Thanks, I just "pulled the trigger" on the Hogue LE grips and they should be here Sunday.
With the Fiber optic front sight, I'm not that worried about it's daylight performance, but in lower light where it would be slower, and more difficult, to acquire a good sight picture, I figure it's a nice "tool" to add to the box, since I planned on putting the Hogue finger grooved grips on it anyway.

For any lurkers who are maybe new to guns, or just new to the idea of using guns in a defensive roll....please know that horselips is an idiot, and just about everything that he posts is incorrect. If you comb through threads, looking for one post or poster to latch onto, to possible learn something from, I emphatically implore you, do not let it be from horselips.
Also for the Lurkers, Forum Brother Eli is a great person to learn from... Knitepoet too...
