Came across this thread while troubleshooting the CT lasergrips on my EMP; thought I would share my experience.
I cannot activate the laser with my normal grip. I can activate the laser after shifting my grip down slightly. But, like Newmey, I have to consciously squeeze the activation pad. And, like Newmey, I tend to relax the squeeze as I shift my attention to the trigger.
I have CT lasergrips my Mil-Spec 1911, Ruger SP101, and two Bersa Firestorms. None of them are difficult to activate like the EMP lasergrips.
I’ve gone back to the original Cocobolo grips. Partially because of having to adjust my grip and the laser being difficult to actuate, but also because the lasergrips fatten the grip considerably as compared to the svelte OEM thin line grips.
