Crimson Trace is, as they say, the leader in laser sights for firearms. At SHOT Show 2018, we got a chance to swing by their booth to see what new offerings they have coming down the pike.
Laserguard Line
New Laserguards and Laserguard Pro units are now available. Prices vary per model.
First up are additions to CT’s popular Laserguard line, which includes both the standard Laserguard and Laserguard Pro.
For newbies, the former is just a laser sight while the Pro model includes both a laser sight and white light in a single compact package. Purchasers can choose between red and green laser sights on either offering.
Since Laserguards are model-specific, not one-size-fits-all pistols, Crimson Trace has to continuously release new Laserguards as new handguns come to market. New this year are Laserguards for SIG, Glock, Smith & Wesson and Ruger. Prices vary per model.
CMR-208 Rail Master Universal Tactical Light
Not content with just dominating the laser market, Crimson Trace has also rolled out a new pistol light called the CMR-208 Rail Master Universal Tactical Light. This unit will affix to any rail-equipped handgun.
A universal tactical light for rail-equipped pistols. MSRP $99.
Specs
- Instant Activation™: Tap-On / Tap-Off
- 420 (high) or 110 (low) Lumen LED white light
- High output Cree® XPL LED
- Material: Anodized Aluminum

- Modes: high, low, strobe, momentary
- Battery life: 1 hr 5 min 420 Lumens / 1 hr 50 min 110 Lumens

Many people prefer this option for duty guns, and Crimson Trace has it covered. The new light features a strobe, high and low beam and momentary modes. At a starting price of around $99, this is going to be a winner.
CWL-100 Crimson Tactical Light For Rail-Equipped Long Guns
Last, on the list was the CWL-100 Crimson Tactical Light, a weapons light for your rifle that doubles as an EDC light.
A tactical light for long guns that also doubles as an everyday carry flashlight. MSRP: $59.99.
