Laser compatibility

I've been following the development of the "Shorty" for a while now.

Curious if any discussions have been had with Crimson Trace about offering a laser for this pistol? There does not seem to be much space available under the dust cover for their Laserguard model, and I'm not sure if the grip panels are replaceable for a more traditional Laser grip model?

I'm a believer in lasers, and have them on all my defensive handguns (currently a Glock 19, 26, and a Ruger LCP). I've used ArmaLaser, Lasermax (the internal guide rod lasers) and Crimson Trace, and like the CT units the best, since they turn on by simply gripping the pistol.

I've been looking for a RELIABLE pocket 9mm pistol - I had two PM9's with numerous issues. The R9 is too expensive, and won't fire +P ammo. The rest are really too large for pocket carry.

I wish you best of luck bringing this to market!

That's what I was thinking. It could be put on the back of the laser. I started drawing it today.

Pretty cool Malcolm, certainly worth a look. Now we just need a green one.

Maybe blue lasers are on the horizon

Don't know if this is possible (maybe only on bigger frames), but maybe make a "grip safety switch" (a la 1911) that activates the laser and safeties the weapon. By the CAD renderings, this doesn't seem possible though due to the spring/hammer mech in the back of the grip already...

But, it would be a very elegant solution that would kill two birds with one stone (safety, and auto laser capabilities) just by gripping the weapon.
