    So the cf 30 has a slot for the pen on the left and right side. on mine the left is unused, i was considering a laser pointer could be designed to fit in there.

    or something else to use that slot, but that the simplest thing i could thing of

    On mine the pen goes the full length of the handle so there is no room for anything else to put in there.

    FWIW: You can take a CF-30/31 handle and put it on a CF-29 ;)

    I do... I charge $100 extra... My cost on a damn handle is like $70...

    FWIW: The 30 and 31 handles are DIFFERENT. The 31 handle is much sleeker and not as obtuse. I like it better :)

    I lost my pen a while ago and was looking at a laser pointer to put in there too but could not find any pens that was thin enought to fit in there. :(

    That's because most/ALL laser pointers take either 2 AAA batteries or 3 LR44 button cells...
