The Crimson Trace LG-497 Laserguard transforms the Springfield Hellcat into a precision-ready defensive pistol with instant target acquisition capabilities. This green laser sight mounts directly to the trigger guard, maintaining the pistol's compact profile while adding tactical advantage in low-light scenarios.
What Makes This Different
Unlike bulky rail-mounted lasers, the LG-497 integrates seamlessly with the Hellcat's frame design without adding bulk or interfering with holster compatibility. The green laser provides 5x greater visibility than red lasers in daylight conditions, with a beam intensity that remains clearly visible at defensive distances. Instinctive activation occurs naturally during the firing grip, eliminating fumbling for separate switches under stress.
Key Features
- High-visibility green laser with 532nm wavelength for superior daylight performance
- Master On/Off switch with 4-hour auto shut-off to preserve battery life
- Instinctive activation pad positioned for natural trigger finger placement
- Maintains compatibility with most Springfield Hellcat holsters
- Tool-free installation with secure polymer housing construction
- Windage and elevation adjustments for precise zero at various distances
- Powered by two #2032 lithium batteries with 4-hour continuous runtime
Field performance demonstrates consistent zero retention through hundreds of rounds, with the laser maintaining accuracy within 2 inches at 50 feet. The unit withstands recoil forces from standard and +P ammunition without shift or loosening. Weather-resistant construction handles moisture and temperature variations encountered in concealed carry applications. Competition shooters report faster target transitions, while law enforcement agencies note improved accuracy in reduced visibility situations.
