Would you Bersa Thunder 380 ACP Conceal Carry people consider a Crimson Trace grip purchase if it were made available to you? I just contacted the manufacturer and am looking into it!

Your right, never mind the whole thing.I don't understand why anyone would need a laser on a BT380, much less a CC. I think its a good idea to have one on any of Bersa's HC, but the .380 series? Why?
Main reason for the laser (for me) is not the accuracy of a 3" barrel fired at 7 yds. but when a perp see's that RED Laser line aimed at their body I feel that many would run away.(knowing that there targeted). If not then the automatic reflex should be to fire. Just my opinion....To add to what 4a15 is saying; the sights on the cc 380 are very scant. Any night time event where a quick response is necessary in a low light situation (likely any conceal carry use) it would be helpful to quickly identify a target. Please tell my why you WOULDN'T want to use a laser.
It has nothing to do with having bigger hands, but everything to do with having a more accurate weapon. A CC is made for very short range defense; a laser is useless in this situation. If you really believe you need a laser in a short range defensive situation, you need more practice, not a laser.Your right, never mind the whole thing. I'll just tell my wife to grow bigger hands and that she likes to shoot the wrong pistol.
Thank you for your insight - even though it is counterproductive.
But just in case this is not the action of a, shall I say TROLL, I will point out the obvious. Being a "CC" model, the sights suck. It is designed to be carried as a defensive weapon, and this non-snagging, idiot proof, cheater sight add-on that could help her win is a plus. Although I have had hundreds of hours of combat style pistol training / practice time, my wife has not.
And if you find yourself in a defensive fight, the goal is to win, that means always cheat!
A laser won't help you quickly identify your target; it only pinpoints about where a bullet will hit. A flashlight is better for a low-light situation.To add to what 4a15 is saying; the sights on the cc 380 are very scant.

"Run away"??? Are you sure they are always going to "run away" when they see the red dot? No, they won't. They'll possibly "eliminate" the source of the red dot. Think.

There's a difference between a flashlight and a laser. A flashlight is effective for a duty weapon, which is why most LEOs have flashlights on their sidearms. In the hundreds of interviews I have done, not one had a laser on their sidearm, but almost all had some sort of light, like a flashlight.......I pointed my flashlight on him and yelled "Don't move or your going to get tased". ..... he thought the light on him was from my Taser. It was a flat out bluff.....
You're wrong....however you are wrong about most having lights on their pistols.... majority do not....
Please elaborate on what you don't understand ,or better yet let me say that having a laser is a plus for those of us whose eyes have grown old,whose confidence is boosted by having the laser,and knowing that the BG might mess his pants when he get the red spot.What I don't understand is why it would be acceptable to have one on the HC but not another self defense weapon like the 380 BT or the 380cc. The purpose to defend youself to the very best of your ability is the goal and if one thinks it does help then it probably is helpful,young folks sometimes just don't Understand.I don't understand why anyone would need a laser on a BT380, much less a CC.

How old am I?....young folks sometimes just don't Understand.
1) Crimson Trace does not make a laser for the BT CC. Only for the BT 380.I want to clarify and perhaps help the group understand why i would consider a crimson trace on a 380 cc.
1. It does not have a rail, short of taping a penlite to the frame, I doubt i can use a light (it will no longer fit in my holster and in my pocket). Therefor I started looking at the CT since it is a grip-housed unit.
2. I cannot see well at night and because this is my only gun and it has very small sights, I was looking for a better night time application.
