New Defender Series Lasergrips® for the Kel-Tec P3AT and P32 Pistols
Wilsonville, OR —December 21, 2007: Crimson Trace has begun to ship the remarkably designed Lasergrips for the Kel-Tec P3AT and P32 compact pistols. The model LG-430 cements Crimson Trace's move into the subcompact market of concealable handguns. Suggested retail price is $209.00.
The model LG-430 adds very little mass to the already compact package of the Kel-Tecs. This should allow the pistol to fit most non-Kydex holsters. It is a unique design in the way that is attaches directly and securely to the trigger guard of the polymer frame. The Lasergrips follow the outside of the trigger guard and “snaps” into its fixed position. There are also two screws that add to the overall stability of this unit. Having the laser diode directly under the bore of the gun allows the laser to be closer to the bore of the gun, creating a very accurate laser sighting device. It is instinctively activated by a pressure switch built into the front underside of the polymer Lasergrips. Simply grasping the firearm in a normal shooting grip activates the laser. All electrical components fit into the Lasergrips and are ergonomically designed for comfort. This fully integrated laser sighting system is another Crimson Trace first in the marketplace.
The Model 430 uses either two 357 silver oxide batteries or a single 1/3N 3 volt lithium battery. These small batteries allow the Lasergrips to be unobtrusive yet powerful enough to give you the brightness that Crimson Trace is known for. Another new feature of the LG-430 is that it uses the smaller 3.3mm diameter laser diode versus the standard 5.6 diameter diode that is found in most all other brands of laser sighting devices. This reduces the overall size of the laser diode housing. As with all other Lasergrips, the LG-430 has both windage and elevation adjustments for shooters to dial in the laser on their own. All Lasergrips come with an accessory pack that contains batteries, hex wrenches for laser adjustments, a cleaning cloth and several cleaning swabs. A three-year warranty is standard.
Lasergrips are made in the United States of America. Crimson Trace is the world’s only manufacturer of grip-integrated laser sighting systems. Police, all branches of the U.S. Military, and responsible citizens’ worldwide use patented Lasergrips. Crimson Trace Lasergrips are recommended as an essential accessory by some of the world’s top firearm instructors.
