A Crimson Trace question for Team CTC-Jeff

[M2 Carbine]

but I'm posting it since the answer might be of interest to other CT laser owners.

One of my CT lasers is on a S&W 2 inch J frame.
I practice a lot with the gun/laser, 2-3 or more evenings a week. Almost all the ammo I shoot is my 158gr lead SWC reloads. As anyone that shoots lubed lead reloads knows, that is a very dirty load that quickly covers the gun with a dirty oily residue.

I've tried to clean the laser lens with the little Q Tip like cleaner and alcohol but it doesn't do much good.

Do you have a suggestion what could be used to get the oily, powder, lead, residue off the lens, that won't harm the unit?

Poor pictures but this is what it looks like.

About 4 foot distance.

I had this happen to me too with my LG-405 on my J-frame shooting similar stuff.

I recommend taking just a small dab of Windex on one of the swabs and use the other to come in behind to dry. It can take many passes following one after or another but it will eventually clean. I think it took me 25 passes or so last time.

Let me know if you need some more swabs, just drop me a PM with your address and I can gets some more out to you.

:wavey:

Thanks Jeff.
I thought of Windex but I didn't want to use anything, that might cause damage to the electronics, without asking first.

I've wanted to try something, like a little piece of clear tape over the laser hole, that I could just remove after each shooting session but haven't checked it out yet.

I'll PM you.:)
