The Crimson Trace LG-496 Laserguard transforms Springfield Armory XD MOD.2 pistols into precision-ready platforms with instinctive laser activation. This red laser sight integrates seamlessly with the trigger guard, providing immediate target acquisition without altering grip or draw stroke.
What Makes This Different
Unlike rail-mounted laser systems that add bulk and require conscious activation, the LG-496 features Crimson Trace's signature Instinctive Activation technology. The laser engages automatically when gripping the pistol naturally, eliminating fumbling for switches during high-stress situations. The compact housing adds minimal profile while delivering consistent 5mW red laser output at 633-650 nanometers.
Key Features
- Instinctive Activation - laser engages with natural grip pressure
- Precision-fit for Springfield XD MOD.2 trigger guard mounting
- 5mW red laser output with 50-yard effective range
- Windage and elevation adjustments with included hex key
- Polymer construction with black anodized finish
- Four-hour continuous runtime on single 1/3N lithium battery

Field performance remains consistent across temperature extremes from -10°F to 120°F. The laser maintains zero through thousands of rounds while the sealed housing resists moisture and debris. Competition shooters benefit from faster target transitions, while duty officers gain tactical advantages in low-light engagements. Home defense applications see improved accuracy under stress when traditional sight alignment becomes difficult.
