Problem with Crimson Trace not coming on Immediately - Update/Resolved

[pianoman9701]

Hey Gang,

I haven't used this Ruger LCP9 very much and can't imagine this is a problem with the battery. I cleaned off the laser, so that's not the problem. When I pick up the gun after sitting for more than a few hours, the laser doesn't come on right away. Anyone have experience with this?

Cant tell you why it is not working but you do know that crimson trace give free batteries for life? One set per year.

I didn't know that. Thanks. I don't think it's a battery issue, but it may be. If I hold it down for a while, it comes on light and then increases in intensity gradually. Very strange, Just started a few days ago.

That sure does sound like a battery issue Pman, you wouldn't think a contact issue would react with intensity variance, typically contacts are connected or not.

Could be the laser itself as well.

I talked with CT and they told me they thought it was a battery issue, too. They're taking care of me. Thanks all.

Sounds like a battery problem to me, too.  But if that doesn't solve it, send it back.  They're a good company and they'll stand behind it.  I have a CT Laser on my Kahr P40, and it comes on every time I test it.  And the batteries are at least 4 years old!

I sent my laser to them last Tuesday and have a new one in my hands today. It wasn't a battery issue, but they're not sure what it is, so they replaced it. Great response and great service. I'm going to put one on my XD .45 when I can afford it.
