OutdoorHub 08.16.12
Crimson Trace today announced its latest Laserguard, the LG-489 for the Smith & Wesson Shield in 9mm and 40S&W is now available through distribution, retailers and crimsontrace.com. With an MSRP of $219, the new sight features Instinctive Activation that allows the use to activate the laser by simply taking a natural firing grip, with no additional switches to search for, find or press. Introduction of the new Laserguard was expedited due to the exceptionally high demand for the Shield, which has quickly developed a devoted following from consumers wanting a reliable, ergonomic carry gun in a potent caliber.
The Laserguard platform is the ideal and ultimate additional to conceal carry firearms. The entire unit ads virtually no weight to the firearm and is quickly and easily installed by the user simply securing around the trigger guard with provided screws. The profile for the pistol does change which is why Crimson Trace works with top holster manufacturers to create holster solutions for all Laserguard equipped firearms. Check out the Holster Resource Guide for details on all models. Each Laserguard is pre sighted from the factory at 50’ and is fully adjustable by the user to fine tune it to their chosen self defense ammunition. Featuring the most powerful laser allowable by law, the unit offers an industry leading 4 hour run time on one, easily replaced 1/3N battery, which also qualifies for the Crimson Trace ‘Batteries for Life’ program.
“We’ve been working with Smith and Wesson on the Shield since the early days of its development,” said Michael Caulk, Director of Engineering for Crimson Trace. “We’re excited to be able to offer Shield owners the best defensive sight system for this excellent compact pistol.”
