Crimson Trace - Laser Sights for Personal Weapons Systems

Laser sights simply help you shoot better and with greater speed and accuracy, which translates into increased confidence - even in tense and threatening scenarios, when hours and hours of vigilant training can disappear in a haze of panic and confusion.

Laser sight technology

The very origins of Crimson Trace are entwined with the needs and demands of the tactical world. Law Enforcement and military personnel were the early adapters to Crimson Trace laser sight technology, and so they kick-started what has now considered a major industry phenomena.

These professionals understand how laser sights de-escalate dangerous situations, improve hit ratios, remedy use-of-force issues, reduce liability, and facilitate sound training. Our products are a must for any agency concerned with preventing loss of life.

Laser sights for threat de-escalation or precision shooting

Law Enforcement professionals and military personnel were the first to understand and embrace the advantages of Crimson Trace Lasergrips. In fact, we've worked closely with these entities since our beginning back in 1992, along with the nation's top tactical instructors.

Warfighters know that Crimson Trace Lasergrips are effective for:

• Close quarters combat, such as room clearing
• Letting squad members see what's being targeted by their team, in real time
• Rapid acquisition of multiple targets
• Precision shooting from unconventional positions, particularly from behind heavy cover
• Precision shooting at distance with a pistol
• Laser pointing for intra-squad communications

Lasergrips feature an instinctive, ergonomic control of the laser. You don't have to take time to flip on a switch when responding a threat. Instead, just pull up your weapon and the laser comes on. To shut it off, just relax your grip a bit.

Laser sights for personal weapons system training

We believe it’s best to cross-train with open sights and laser sights, maintaining proficiency with both. It’s worth noting, though, that a lack of training time in general can be offset by the performance characteristics of Lasergrips in particular. The idea is simple enough: just project a dot onto the target.

Faster personal weapons training results with laser sights

Laser sights offer unique advantages for trainers and students. Useful and under-utilized, laser sights make the education process faster and more effective, because the visible laser beam helps trainers make their point with greater clarity.

Enhanced trigger control

This is probably the most significant advantage of training with Lasergrips. From the instructor’s point of view, laser sights are optimal for diagnosing and correcting trigger control issues. Errors are fully illustrated and corrections are immediately obvious. This permits the student to self-correct.

Sight alignment made simple

Lasergrips help students learn the concept of sight picture, because lasers show precisely where the muzzle is aimed.

Positive reinforcement

A laser sight provides instant acknowledgment for the student whose confidence was wavering, revealing for all to see that the training is bearing fruit, that the student is making good progress.

Instinctive learning

Learning to shoot with a laser sight is arguably easier than with open sights, because the instinctive activation of the laser is much more in line with the way the human body functions. All attention goes to putting the red dot on the target, not on the process of aligning the rear sight and the front sight with the target.

Dry-firing practice makes perfect

This one applies primarily to more advanced students seeking to learn sophisticated tactics and alternative sighting techniques. We’re talking about lasering from awkward and unnatural positions. Or lasering around corners without aligning your body behind the weapon. Or "periscoping" over the top of obstacles.
