The Crimson Trace LG-497 Laserguard transforms the compact Ruger LCP II into a precision-ready defensive firearm with instant target acquisition. This dedicated laser sight system integrates seamlessly with the pistol's trigger guard, providing shooters with enhanced accuracy in low-light conditions without adding bulk to the firearm's concealable profile.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic laser attachments, the LG-497 features custom engineering specifically for the Ruger LCP II frame geometry. The system activates through Crimson Trace's patented Instinctive Activation technology, engaging automatically when the shooter establishes a firing grip. This eliminates fumbling with separate switches during high-stress situations while maintaining the pistol's original sight picture.
Key Features
- Instinctive Activation engages laser automatically upon gripping
- Red laser diode provides 5mW output with 50-yard effective range
- Polymer construction maintains lightweight profile at 0.8 ounces
- Four-hour continuous runtime on single 1/3N lithium battery
- Windage and elevation adjustments with included hex key
- Factory-sighted at 50 feet for immediate deployment
- Maintains compatibility with most Ruger LCP II holsters
The LG-497 delivers consistent point-of-impact accuracy across temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F. Law enforcement agencies report improved qualification scores during low-light training scenarios, while civilian users benefit from enhanced confidence during home defense situations. The laser maintains zero through hundreds of firing cycles, with the durable housing withstanding recoil forces and daily carry wear.
