Crimson Trace

One of my favorite firearms innovations of the last decade or so has been the swift rise of aftermarket laser aiming systems for handguns. Remember when adding a laser to your handgun meant installing something that looked like a small flashlight onto your gun’s tactical rail with a coiled cord attached to an activation switch? [...]

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.

As we move into the Holiday Season, let us not forget that you might be forced to give a local hooligan an early present in the form of flying lead and copper. And if your are not the CCW fanatic in your household, you may be wondering what to get them. Outside of a MAGA (Make America Great Again) hat, obviously, as GunsAmerica’s resident gift expert, I am going to make your life easy. Take notes — there will be a test at the end.

Luckily companies like CrimsonTrace, Viridian, Laserlight and many others offer high-quality options for whatever a shooter’s preference may be.

At NRA 2017 we got a chance to check out the new Laserguard Pro for Glock pistols.

We had a chance to visit the Crimson Trace booth at SHOT Show 2017 and see some of their exciting new products. Take a look to see what we found.
