New Defender Series Lasergrips for the Ruger LCP Coming Soon
Wilsonville, OR — April 11, 2008: Crimson Trace announces new Lasergrips for the wildly popular Ruger LCP compact pistol. The model LG-431 further cements Crimson Trace's move into the subcompact market of polymer-frame concealable handguns. The LG-431 should be available summer of 2008.
The model LG-431 adds very little mass to the already compact package of the Ruger LCP. This should allow the pistol to fit most holsters. It attaches directly and securely to the trigger guard of the polymer frame using two screws that add to the overall stability of this unit. The Lasergrips clamp to the outside of the trigger guard while hugging the frame as it nears the front of the pistol. With the laser diode housing directly under the barrel, it 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.
The Model LG-431 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 provide the brightness that Crimson Trace customers expect. Another feature of the LG-431 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-431 has both windage and elevation adjustments for shooters to adjust 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.
