    Melissa,

    I can't picture what is happening. Holster leather is pushing on the CT switch that is on the grip under the trigger guard? It is a CT Laserguard, right?

    Can you cut away the leather that is touching the switch and still have the trigger itself covered?

    It only does it when I grip the gun in my pocket. No, I won't be doing that all the time, but...

    OK, picture this. It is a dark night and you are leaving the mall. You see your car way in the distance. As you approach your car, you see a very shady looking character. So what do you do? You put your hand in your pocket and grip your PM9 just in case. Now, you have a red laser light coming through your pants pocket and have alerted the shady character that you have a gun in there. It would be like showing your hand at cards.

    Am I just worrying about nothing?

    Well it couldn't possibly be me, I have no idea what Mall you frequent but I generally avoid malls at all cost. Plus I'm petrified of woman with red glowing from the general area of their front pockets.
    I assume if fellow shady characters feel the same way and flee for their very lives it would have the same effect as aiming the PM9 and having the red dot in the general vacinity of their front pockets. You run em off and don't have to shoot em. No mess, no fuss.

    Sounds like a win win situation to me.

    Park closer, under a good light, better yet don't go to the mall after dark. If you had a watch you'd know it be night time, and night time ain't no time to be in this here neighborhood.

    Now I see! This wouldn't happen to me because the holster material comes approx. 1/2 way up the trigger guard and my "get ready" grip has my middle finger away from the grip poised to push off the holster as I draw. Then as the gun is coming out of my pocket I'm doing the final positioning of my middle finger on the grip and my pinky under the grip. The laser would not come on until I committed to the draw and gun is just clearing my pocket. Am I making any sense?

    Kind of makes me want to get one for my PM45. Carry it in my pocket, and hit the switch now and then, maybe pick up chicks.

    What do you think Melissa? Any merit in my idea. Bet I'd get alot of funny looks if nothing else. Not like I need any additional bait with my natural charm and magnetism and of course modesty.

    Oh this should be good. I'll hide the ammo, clubs and sharp objects from Mrs. B. I can't wait to hear that Canadian/Swedish accented cussing from here. I won't even tell her its coming. You just watch put for the stairs and cliffs.
    Attitude: it takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile...and 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

    The olive branch is considered a symbol of peace, and good will. Last time I checked, it's still a switch.

    Ha! I'm just betting you're a chick magnet all on your own. Sounds like the Mrs. wouldn't like you "flashing" any other chick, Bawanna!

    Well maybe it's like fishing. I'm a big fan of catch and release so I can turn around and catch em again?
