Didn't know they made IR grips for the P229. I know they exist for the P226, but not the P229.

They are the special Mil-Spec IR laser grips that are waterproof. Crimson Trace Model LG-429M:

http://www.crimsontrace-laser.com/lg-429m-laser-sight-for-sig-sauer-p228-p229-series-front-activation-lasergrips-mil-std-waterproof.html

They come in either visible 5mW Red or IR 0.7mW.

Laser Placement    
by: Chip
With the advent of the Class1 IR Laser systems from LDI, we are seeing a lot more lasers showing up on rifles.  This is great, because using an IR laser is the most effective way to employ your night vision goggles.  But, we are also seeing a lot of shooters improperly mounting their new lasers.  By this, I mean placing the laser on the side of the gun.

I generally teach people to mount their laser at the 12 o'clock rail position if at all possible.  The reason for this is simple: it makes getting your hits at varied distances a whole lot easier.  If you mount your laser at 12 o'clock and zero it the same as your optic, you are setting yourself up for success because you already know your holds for your optic.  Well, they are now the same for your laser.  At distances other than the exact distance of your zero, you can hold for elevation and squeeze the trigger.  That's all there is to it.

But, if you mount the laser at the 3 or 9 o'clock position, you add complications into your firing solution.  I'm not a fan of side-mounting a laser unless I absolutely have to in order to clear real estate for other mission-essential accessories like grenade launcher sights, or clip-on night vision devices.  This is usually the reason why Warfighters side mount their lasers.  Another reason is that their issued optic mount is a 100% co-witness with their iron sights, seating the red dot sight too low and causing the laser to partially obstruct their sight picture through the glass.  But, this shouldn't be an issue for the civilian or Law Enforcement professional.  Just buy a high mount.  It's better anyway.  But I digress.

Lasers go straight on to infinity from their emitter.  They are not affected by gravity like bullets.  At the point of impact of your zero, they will cross with the projectile and continue forward until they run out of energy.  A top-mounted laser causes you to only compensate for elevation in this case.  But, a side-mounted laser will continue left or right past the point of impact for your zero, respective to which side it is mounted on the rail.  Now, you have to compensate for elevation and windage.  And, since I'm not that good at math, I like to make it as simple as possible.

So, if you aren't running other gear at the 12 o'clock position, do yourself a favor and put your laser there.



I'd consider moving the EOTech back a bit and top mounting if possible. That said, as my picture in this thread shows, I've got my IR laser on my OBR mounted on the side to leave room for a clip-on when I can afford one.

I respect the hell out of Chip, and he well knows that.  I would like to add a couple thoughts to his good recommendation.

There are essentially two common methods of zero'ing an aiming laser, coincident POA and fixed offset:

Coincident POA - This is when the POA methodology for the laser is the same as it would be most other typical sighting devices.  As has been stated, laser beams are not subject to the effects of gravity (other than in the theoretical physics realm), whereas projectiles follow a trajectory as we all know.  Considering this fact, the POI will only equal the POA at two distances along the bullet path, such as a typical "50/200 zero".  At other distances, one must holdover (or under between 50 and 200), which is something that we are all accustomed to.  There is a very important caveat to this preferred method though; it assumes that the laser emission point is directly above or below the bore centerline, such as with an ITAL or CQBL.  For other laser types, there is a lateral offset regardless of which rail position the device is mounted on....3, 6, 9, or 12 o'clock.

Fixed offset - If the laser device type or mounting location places the emission point other than directly above or below the bore centerline, than a lateral windage component is introduced by pure geometry.  One option is to have the POA equal the POI at a given range.  Note that there will only be a single distance at which this will occur because gravity doesn't act sideways.  At all other ranges there will be lateral divergence which will increase proportionally with distance.  I tend to be pretty good at doing computational math in my head, but just like Chip states, this is an unnecessary complication to the firing solution.  The better alternative is for the POA to be offset a fixed lateral distance from the POI equal to the physical distance that the laser emitter is separated from the bore centerline for a given system configuration.  The physical vertical offset does need not be accounted for in the POA/POI setup any differently than with other sighting devices because gravity is pretty consistent.  Geometrically speaking, the laser beam path would then be parallel to the trajectory in the lateral plane (not counting environmental effects).  This is what the various TMs indicate, and it makes sense.  

In a nutshell, if you are running something like a DBAL-I2, and the emitter is an inch left of your bore centerline, sight it in so that the POA is an inch left of the POI, and aim an inch left at all ranges (while accounting for bullet drop due to distance, as well as any environmental considerations).  If you choose to make the POA equal the POI at 50 yards for example, it will be approximately 5 inches right at 300.

For reference, I run an ITAL at 12 o'clock when using Class 1 IR.

Hope this helps.

Good post, I like the offset method w/ a slight modification.  Whatever range the primary optic is zeroed at I zero the elevation of the laser to and leave an azimuth offset VERY VERY SLIGHTLY less than the total distance between the barrel and the laser axis.  After zeroing at that distance I check it out to 200-300 yards to make sure that the beam hasn't already crossed the bore.  Admittedly, at long range (much longer than I can or will comfortably shoot at night at this point) the beam will have crossed the axis of the bore and begun to diverge from it.  I accept that slight limitation as it eliminates my having to think about that offset at 200 yards when the laser spot itself has grown larger and gravity has had a little longer to affect it (compounding variables).  The normal offset zero procedure works great and I have used it, but I've grown accustomed to this method.  I like

Kinda along the same lines as SkyPups IR equipped Sig 229.

I wanted to turn my old 226 into a full capability day-night weapon. I did a write up with more detail in the general NV forum.

My older Sig 226 needed the bolt-on SureFire MR14B rail. CTC defense dual Visible & IR laser grips, designation LGD-426C. The Streamlight TLR-VIR with standard TLR-2 rocker switch conversion.

Beautiful setup, nothing Class 1 is better than a VITAL-2 IMHO.  The variable power is just absolutely incredible for close range or small targets.

Its a great laser, but the switching SUCKS. No constant on, the paddle is not ambi and is impossible to use with your right hand, and the switch isn't doesn't have a positive feel to it.

If the switch didn't suck it'd be more viable as a modern laser.

Not in particular, no.

It sounded from the exchange as if it may have been a swiped picture from some other thread. Even if it wasn't I wanted to get ahead of the issue and make sure my thread stayed on topic.

That said, those rifles are drop dead sexy, and that picture is awesome.

No worries, and thanks for the compliment. I will always make note when posting something that's not a personal possession; Like this AR for instance belongs to a friend. I agree with your previous comments regarding the VITAL. There's a lot of potential in this small little package that could be exploited much easier if the user control features were improved slightly.

Helpful. I don't know how far the laser is offset. So does it fit with a troy site.

Have any pics of this from the muzzle end?

I'm thinking of offsetting a M600 in a Haley SBR mount on the 12:00 rail with a CQBL-1 on the 3:00. Should function pretty close to a 3:00-mounted PEQ15A (with KM2 head) or PEQ16B.

It'll work just fine.

I decided to move my dbal to my 14.5. More real estate for the dbal and light makes a world of difference compared to the mk18.

I have previously posted these in the TNVC section, but I thought people here might like to see them as well. CQBL-1 shooting through a Tango Down front sight flashlight adaptor.





Here's what it's designed for.... also works with an x300.

My quasi SOPMOD clone rifles.



Top and middle are VITAL-2's (great laser, just wish the controls were better).  Bottom is an LDI OTAL.  I've got a couple other VITAL's and will probably be getting a CQBL in the near future.

Fits fine on an Alpha rail with the flip up front sight.

Never saw this front sight before. Have to get one to run with my CQBL. Thanks
