Lasergrips provide superior weapons capabilities for self-defense, law enforcement and military applications. Here’s how:

Personal Defense: To protect yourself and your loved ones, you've invested in a handgun. But when the chips are down, how accurate will your aim be? Consider this: most law enforcement shootings occur within seven yards. And, amazingly, national statistics show that officers miss their targets more than 75% of the time.  However, the same statistics show that officers who use Crimson Trace laser sights hit their targets more than 90% of the time. 

If Lasergrips can improve accuracy in real-life situations by that much, shouldn’t they be on your home defense handgun? Home break-ins occur with alarming frequency. Give yourself and your loved ones the security that comes from knowing you are prepared, should the unthinkable happen

Law Enforcement: Crimson Trace is the choice of law enforcement professionals the world over. From the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and Las Vegas Metro PD, to 30,000 Singapore National Police and America’s National Parks Service, the choice is clear: Crimson Trace.

Lasergrips are helping address some of the major use-of-force issues facing law enforcement today, such as low hit-ratios in actual shootings, increased liability, threat de-escalation, and reduced training opportunities.

It’s a well-known fact that in actual gunfights, law enforcement officers only hit their targets about 20% of the time. This low hit ratio leads to more shots being fired and creates dangerous conditions. Officers using Crimson Trace Lasergrips are shooting more accurately. In fact, hit ratios are exceeding 90% in officer-involved shootings where Lasergrips are used.  Fewer, more accurate shots means less liability for errant shots damaging property or worse, striking by-standers.

Crimson Trace Lasergrips may even reduce the need for shots to be fired in the first place.  The red dot brings the officer a higher level of presence and tells the subject in no uncertain terms that continued noncompliance could have lethal consequences. If the laser convinces just one subject to give up before shots are fired, the investment in Lasergrips has more than paid for itself. 

Military: Crimson Trace is proud to support our troops and to be part of the action in Iraq and Afghanistan. With tens of thousands of Lasergrips in service and more being shipped every day, Crimson Trace lasers are proving to be invaluable assets in the war on terrorism.

Crimson Trace lasers for the Beretta M9 are listed as D.O., or “Vital to National Defense” by the U.S. government, which means that Crimson Trace has been ordered to immediately fill all military orders. Nothing else can take priority.

Several Lasergrip models have National Stocking Numbers (NSN) to allow purchasing by U.S. Military and NATO forces. Crimson Trace lasers are in use by all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces — and the results are impressive. Not only are Lasergrips standing up to the rigors of war, but more importantly, they’re saving lives.

Training Tool:   Simply put, Lasergrips are an extremely useful and under-utilized tool for handgun training.  They offer unique advantages for trainers and students that can help achieve superior training results much faster and more effectively.

Additional items to consider

Our aim is to make you a better shooter. Laser Grips are helping gun owners at every skill level hit the target with greater speed, accuracy and confidence.  Lasergrips provide superior weapons capabilities for self-defense, law enforcement and military applications. Here’s how:

Immediate Targeting: Once properly sighted in, the laser dot marks exactly where the bullet will strike, regardless of how the gun is being held. It’s just that simple. No other sighting device offers this capability. Raise the gun, grip it like you normally would to shoot, and a pressure-sensitive switch instinctively turns on the laser. Now you’re ready to squeeze off a round, right on target, every time.

Recreational Shooting: Lasergrips are a great accessory for the recreational shooter. After all, the fun of shooting is hitting the target, right? Whether you’re at the range, or a safe outdoor location, Lasergrips will positively help you hit the target more frequently and consistently.

Handgun Hunting: Hunters everywhere are discovering the thrill of handgun hunting. The same immediate targeting capability Lasergrips offer every shooter is perfect for close-quarters contact with a wild hog, boar or bear, especially during low-light morning and evening time. Our HogHunter™ models are designed for large-caliber handguns popular among hunters.

Armed Encounters: Nobody wants to use a weapon against another. But should a dangerous situation call for protecting yourself or your family, Lasergrips provide an immediate and decisive advantage. Thousands of law enforcement and military officers around the world have proven that Lasergrips can dramatically improve the outcome of an armed conflict.

Deterrent: The threat of being shot is a strong deterrent. Nothing projects this threat as effectively as the bright red dot of a laser beam. Police and military users consistently report that Lasergrips de-escalate hostile situations by dramatically illustrating the consequences of continued hostile actions. Law-abiding citizens can have this same advantage, and can stop a threat without ever firing their gun.  

Low-Light Situations: It’s a fact that over 80% of incidents involving guns occur at night. Burglars, robberies, and assaults are much more likely to happen after dark, and that’s exactly when Lasergrips really command an advantage. Using Lasergrips, low light accuracy and speed increase more than with any other sighting tool, including night sights and even tactical lights.

Movement: It’s also a fact that in most life-threatening incidents, a person trying to hurt you isn’t going to be standing still. And neither will you. Firing a handgun at a moving target, or while moving yourself, is extremely difficult. In competitions, and real-life situations, Lasergrips make shooting while moving faster and more accurate for even the best shooters.

Compensating For “Fight Or Flight” Response Our natural response in a life-threatening situation is to flee, or stand our ground and fight. If we’re forced to fight, our bodies respond automatically by pumping adrenaline for energy and narrowing our field of vision to focus the specific threat. Fine muscle control needed to align the sights of a handgun becomes extremely difficult, if not impossible. Lasergrips compensate for this by enabling you to stay focused on the threat and accurately aim the gun without having to rely on fine motor skills.

Accountability: In today’s lawsuit-frenzied society, anyone deciding to point and fire a gun at another person, whether a law enforcement officer or citizen, must consider the consequences beyond the incident itself. Was it justified? Did the shooter take every precaution to ensure the safety of others? Lasergrips can help make good decisions because there is no ambiguity about where the gun is pointed and what will happen if it is fired.
