LG-435 Laserguard™ for Kel-Tec PF-9 Available Now
Wilsonville, OR — November 21, 2008: Crimson Trace announces a new Laserguard model for the lightest and flattest 9mm ever made, the Kel-Tec PF-9. The addition of the LG-435 to the Laserguard line-up validates the design as the natural progression for Lasergrips for some of the popular polymer pistols. MSRP is $209.00.
The Laserguard design is the most compact, instinctively activated, user-adjustable laser sighting system on the market today. The Laserguard platform was designed to overcome the design challenges posed by polymer framed handguns. An innovative, tab-and-groove interlocking system attaches securely to the trigger guard for repeatable accuracy. A lip added to the base of the Laserguard below the activation button acts as an added finger groove while not affecting holstering ability. Installing the Laserguard does not require any pin removal, the use of firearm screws or the disassembly of the firearm.
The Laserguard model LG-435 adds very little mass to the already sleek design of the Kel-Tec PF-9. This allows the pistol to fit most holsters. The new Laserguard designs attach directly and securely to the trigger guard of the polymer frame using two screws that add to the overall stability of this unit. The Laserguard clamps to the outside of the trigger guard while hugging the frame as it nears the front of the pistol. Like all other Crimson Trace products, it is instinctively activated. A pressure switch built into the front underside of the polymer Laserguard activates the laser on this particular model. Simply grasping the firearm in a normal shooting grip activates the laser. The sleek housing contains the electrical components and is ergonomically designed for comfort.
The Model LG-435 uses either two #357 silver oxide batteries or a single 1/3N 3 volt lithium battery. These small batteries allow the Laserguard to be unobtrusive yet powerful enough to provide the brightness that Crimson Trace customers expect for over 2 hours. Another feature of the LG-435 is that it uses the smaller 3.3mm diameter laser diode which reduces the overall size of the laser diode housing. As with all other Crimson trace products, the LG-435 has both windage and elevation adjustments for shooters to adjust the laser for a perfect hit at any distance. All Laserguards 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.
