Crimson Trace is proud to announce its latest technological advance: 4th Generation Lasergrips for the 1911. The most dramatic improvement is the new frontstrap activation for total control of the laser, no matter how the shooter grips the pistol. Details of the introduction were made today by Adam Wollander, Vice-President of Marketing for Crimson Trace.
“The 1911 is America's combat pistol, so it was a natural to apply our latest technology here.” said Wollander “The improvements that we've made to our 1911 grip were the direct result of customer feedback.”
In addition to more positive activation, the relocated activation allows shooter to get a positive hold on frontstrap checkering. The other major change is the addition of a relief cut to allow the mainspring retaining pin to be removed without taking the grips off.
The 4th Generation 1911 Lasergrip, called the LG-401, has passed extensive durability testing. To prove their ruggedness, samples grips went through a 3000 round durability cycle. During the shooting, the Lasergrips were further abused, by subjecting them to extreme heat and cold cycles. The result was no visible wear and no shift in point-of-aim.
Lasergrips are manufactured in Beaverton, Oregon. Crimson Trace's ever-expanding line of laser aiming devices is widely used by police agencies and militaries around the globe, as well as by responsible armed citizens.
