The Viridian E-Series Red Laser Sight transforms Glock subcompact pistols into precision instruments with instant target acquisition capabilities. This rail-mounted laser system delivers consistent accuracy enhancement for Glock 42, 43, 43X, and 48 models. Built specifically for concealed carry applications, it maintains the slim profile essential for everyday carry while adding tactical capability.
What Makes This Different
The E-Series incorporates Viridian's Enhanced Combat Readiness (ECR) technology, automatically activating when drawing from compatible holsters. Unlike generic laser attachments, this system features tool-free windage and elevation adjustments with positive click detents. The constant-on activation eliminates fumbling for switches during high-stress situations, while the ambidextrous controls accommodate both left and right-handed shooters.
Key Features
- ECR instant-on activation compatible with Viridian holster systems
- Class 3R red laser with 635nm wavelength for maximum visibility
- Tool-free windage and elevation adjustment with audible clicks
- Ambidextrous activation switches for versatile operation
- Aircraft-grade aluminum construction with Type III hard anodizing
- Sub-rail mount fits standard Picatinny and Weaver rail systems
- Integrated battery compartment with CR2 lithium power source
Field testing demonstrates effective target engagement out to 25 yards in daylight conditions, extending to 100+ yards in low-light environments. The laser maintains zero through repeated firing cycles and temperature variations from -20°F to 120°F. Recoil resistance meets military specifications, handling +P ammunition without point-of-impact shift. The streamlined housing adds minimal bulk to compact carry guns while providing positive tactile feedback during activation.
