Crimson Trace LG-661 Lasergrip for the Smith & Wesson M&P Compact Pistol

By Richard on June 23, 2008 No Comments

Crimson Trace has developed a revolutionary new set of Lasergrips for the Smith & Wesson M&P compact pistols. The LG-661 fits the compact M&P chambered in .40 S&W, 9mm and the.357 SIG caliber of pistols, and is now available.

Crimson Trace LG-661 Lasergrip laser for Smith and Wesson M&P compact pistolThe compact LG-661 is as unique in design as the full-size version it mirrors, the LG-660. It replaces the stock M&P back strap grip insert and slides into place in just a few seconds using existing factory parts. It is instinctively activated by a pressure switch built into the backstrap of the polymer Lasergrip. Simply grasping the firearm in a normal shooting grip activates the laser. All electrical components fit into the Lasergrip, which is the same size and shape of the original M&P medium sized back strap.


There are two #2032 batteries located in the palm swell on the sides of the Lasergrips, providing over 4 hours of a constant-on beam time. The master switch is also located on the backstrap and uses a new touch sensor switch versus a mechanical switch as found on other Lasergrips. This allows the user to turn the unit on or off even while using gloves. Users simply press and hold the recessed pressure switch to turn the power on or off.

The texture of the unit is almost identical to the stock S&W grip. Rubber overmolding on the backstrap covers the master on/off switch and the activation button, providing improved grip while shooting. This fully integrated laser sighting system is another Crimson Trace first in the marketplace.

Another feature of the LG-661 is that it uses a smaller 3.3mm diameter laser diode versus the standard 5.6mm diameter diode that is found in most all other brands of laser sighting devices. This results in a lower profile diode housing and a laser that emits the same brightness as one almost twice its size. As with all other Lasergrips, the LG-661 has both windage and elevation adjustments for shooters to make adjustments 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. Suggested retail price is $329.00, but Amazon has the LG-661 for $308.69 here.
