crimson trace

This might be a dumb question, so please refrain from busting my b@lls. On the crimson trace laser grips, there is a switch to turn the laser on, then the button to actually use the laser. My question is: if you leave the switch in the on position while the gun in not in use, will it drain the batteries? Thanks.

Not all of them have a main swith just a activation button so I dont think you will have a problem leaving the switch on.

None of mine have a "switch" just the button on the grip

No, it will not drain your battery to leave the switch in the on position. It prevents accidental activation while training or in storage.

On my M&P9 it has another button to deactivate it, manual states if you are not going to be using it for an extended period of time I think

either way, I don't switch it off, unless I am at the range and specifically want it off

I figure it will be worth the next $4 I spend on batteries whenever it runs out....

I've had one with the switch left on for over a year with no noticeable drain. Laser is still very bright when activated

I was asking because my wife's home defense weapon is a Kimber with these grips. I figured if she ever needed to make a quick move for it, in the middle of the night, the laser would be real handy. If you had to find that switch in a critical situation before you could use the laser, the small amount of wasted time might make a big difference. I was just worried about that scenario coming up and the dang batteries being dead..Wouldn't really be too helpful at that point. I guess she should probably check to make sure the batteries are good on a regular basis anyway.
