The Crimson Trace LG-452 Laserguard transforms the S&W M&P Shield Plus into a precision instrument with instant target acquisition capabilities. This compact red laser sight mounts directly to the trigger guard, providing tactical advantage without adding bulk to the pistol's slim profile.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional rail-mounted lasers that increase width, the LG-452 integrates seamlessly with the Shield Plus frame geometry. The instinctive activation system engages automatically when gripping the pistol naturally, eliminating the need to fumble for switches during critical moments. Crimson Trace's Master Series technology delivers consistent beam performance across temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F.
Key Features
- Instinctive activation technology - laser activates with natural firing grip
- Red laser wavelength: 630-670 nanometers for optimal visibility
- Adjustable windage and elevation for precise zeroing
- Polymer construction maintains lightweight carry profile
- Four-hour auto shut-off prevents battery drain
- Ambidextrous activation pads accommodate all shooting styles
- Tool-free installation requires no gunsmithing
Range performance demonstrates effective target illumination at distances up to 50 yards in low-light conditions. The dot remains visible in bright indoor lighting typical of defensive scenarios, while battery life extends beyond 4 hours of continuous operation. Weather-sealed construction protects internal components from moisture and debris during daily carry. Competition shooters report faster target transitions, while law enforcement agencies value the hands-free activation during high-stress encounters.
