The way I see it, this product is intended for one market only: home defense for the poorly trained, against average burglars. It's not intended for concealed or open carry, it's not intended for properly trained weapons users, and it's not intended for tactical situations. It's just a help for the average Joe that just want to protect his home from intruders. People with other needs and higher levels of training will not have use for this product.

  @Tinkerer Average user sounds about right. Considering danger mostly happens at night too, the automatic light might also have a stunning effect, enabling one to get away.
  For the average user I can't see how a light and laser combo coming on automatically when a pistol is drawn will do any harm. Chances are it might be of help. A good idea overall.
  Only issue is that someone might mistake your pistol for a flashlight.
  It's pretty obvious this is not aimed at LEO, entry teams or anyone else that relies on the element of surprise.

Looks nice to me CT is a good company makes good grip lasers. I like there new military model which has regular laser with a new IR one.
