IR CT laser grips conversion for M&P

[goteron]

Well, after taking a break from completely destorying things I had the idea to convert a Crimson Trace Lasergrip to IR. This was after my unsuccessful attempt to convert an X400.

This was a difficult conversion as CT uses the smallest possible IR diode in these units.

On a side note however, they are well built. I normally would not use a laser on a handgun, but you cannot argue with shooting a suppressed pistol under NODS. It is way too entertaining.

Sorry for the poor NV pictures, hold my iphone to the PVS-14 was not an easy task.

I really need to get a TNVC RFR for this thing sometime....

I did a parallel zero. I have yet to shoot it, but it should be a lot of fun...

Pretty cool! Don't really have a need for something like that but I can understand the joy in having it.

Side note -- any links where I can get details about your M&P build?

[goteron]

Thanks, shooting a pistol under NODS is a lot of fun.

No links. But:

Appreciate the specs list, thanks. Couple clarifications if you don't mind:

1. Where can I find info about Tony Smith and his work? Tried googling and failed.

2. SSS = speed shooters specialties, correct?

Oh, and one more thing... the RM02 is a 8moa dot, correct? How do you like that? Ever feel it's too large? Been debating this myself and it's what kept me from purchasing anything so far.

Photos on how you did the conversion?

[goteron]

Sorry, cannot provide those as I have sold a few. Wouldn't be fair to the buyers.
