Crimson Trace Recall of LG-432 Lasergrips for Sig Sauer P230 and P232
Posted by: | Comments
Crimson Trace issued a recall for the LG-432 Lasergrips designed for the Sig Sauer P230 and P232 pistols. Crimson Trace initiated the recall after receiving reports “…that the LG-432 Lasergrips for Sig Sauer P230 and P232 semi-auto pistols may allow the mainspring to detach when the magazine release is depressed without a magazine in place, rendering the firearm inoperable.” Yikes!
Crimson Trace is a very good company, and I have always known them to stand behind their products. If you have a set of LG-432 Lasergrips, please read the following information on the problem and how to receive a replacement set of Lasergrips. Read More→

LaserLyte has introduced a new red laser sighting system for the popular Ruger LCP. The LaserLyte PL-1 is a frame mounted laser sight that attaches to the front of the LCP trigger guard.

Rear Sight Laser for Glock Pistols Introduced by LaserLyte
Posted by: | Comments
LaserLyte has introduced a new red laser sighting system for pistols called the Rear Sight Laser. The LaserLyte Rear Sight Laser, or RSL, mounts in the position of the rear sight on a handgun, rather than as a grip or guiderod solution marketed by other companies such as Crimson Trace and LaserMax.
LaserLyte claims that by having the laser mounted to the rear sight, the holster can be used in all of the gun’s normal Level I and Level II holsters. While I do not have the laser on hand to test this claim with my own holsters, I can see how it should work with most holsters. However, there are no standards on what a Level I or II holster is, so the claim is a bit nebulous. Read More→
