Crimson Trace Conducts Classes Across America

Sunday, May 15th, 2016

(Wilsonville, OR)—Crimson Trace, the world’s most recognized and purchased brand of laser sights and tactical light systems for self-defense firearms, has opened the doors of gun shop and range classrooms across America. The new Crimson Trace Classroom™ program has already graduated nearly 1,000 students with more classes scheduled. Those class graduates work at the counters of stores and ranges from the Carolinas to California—and all points between.

The educational and informative two-part classroom includes an in-class session where students learn details about lasers, Crimson Trace product categories, and much more. Participating students learn about laser sight fundamentals, accuracy, protection, training and improving confidence.

A second segment of the Crimson Trace Classroom training places students on the gun range where they shoot revolvers equipped with Crimson Trace laser sights. One segment of this intense range session includes shooting with glasses specially designed to inhibit vision, and the students learn to rely on the laser sight for aiming. It’s a very popular course that helps gun shop staff better discuss laser sights with customers—and those discussions are based on experience. Stores that have included the FREE training for staff are reporting better prepared staff—and better served customers. The staff who complete the course also receive a certificate suitable for framing.

Stores and gun ranges interested in scheduling a FREE Crimson Trace Classroom event are encouraged to call 800-442-2406. Most classes are conducted by the eight Crimson Trace regional sales managers located across America along with other Crimson Trace staff.

For more than two decades, Wilsonville, Oregon based Crimson Trace has provided America’s gun owners, and military units and law enforcement officers around the globe, with the world’s largest selection of award-winning laser sights and tactical light products. Crimson Trace now offers more than 225 products and is widely recognized as the world’s leading brand of laser sights for firearms.

Rail-Ready Products from Crimson Trace

Friday, April 15th, 2016

(Wilsonville, OR)—Crimson Trace, America’s leader in making laser sights standard equipment on all self-defense firearms, offers a wide range of laser sight and lighting options for firearms equipped with rails. Handguns, especially many new models of concealed carry handguns, along with a growing number of long guns, come equipped with standard Weaver-style accessory rails, M1913 Picatinny rails, or molded-in rails. The Crimson Trace options to ride on those rails range from the small and powerful Rail Master® up to the Rail Master Pro™ and on to the Modular Vertical Foregrip® (MVF-515).

Crimson Trace’s Rail Masters are well known for being small, lightweight and easy to operate, and easy to secure onto the firearm’s rail. Packed with features, Rail Masters offer: Instant Activation, a 5-minute auto shut-off to conserve battery life because of inactivity, and either powerful green or red lasers. Nearly a half dozen Rail Master models are available, including one with a must-see coyote tan finish. Rail Masters can also be purchased pre-installed on some firearms, such as Browning’s .22 Buck Mark Black Label Carbon Fiber pistol.

Better news is that Rail Masters laser sights come packaged with four inserts as part of Crimson Trace’s Secure Lock Technology. This system permits placement in numerous locations on the rail to ensure the shooter has a best-fit for operation. This installation prevents slip offs that can occur with similar inexpensive models from other manufacturers. Three modes of operation with Rail Masters permits the user to select between: Constant-On, Momentary and Strobe laser. Crimson Trace’s CMR-206 Rail Master Universal green laser sight has an affordable Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price of only $229.

Crimson Trace’s offers another option for rails—the Rail Master Pro. These small and highly durable units combine the best of both worlds—laser and light. The CMR-204 (Green) and CMR-205 (Red) offer numerous operation modes: laser and light, laser only, light only and laser along with a disorienting strobe light. The red or green laser can be used along with the 100-Lumen LED white light, and this unit will automatically shut off after five minutes of inactivity.

For long guns with rails, such as the popular AR/MSR rifles, Crimson Trace offers the Modular Vertical Foregrip® with red and green laser versions available. These MVFs provide 200-Lumens of white LED light and can be cycled through three light modes, including strobe and constant on. For proper attachment, these units require at least four inches of accessory rail. Easy-to-operate side buttons simplify control and use.

Crimson Trace is widely recognized as the world’s leading brand of laser sight systems and tactical lights for firearms. All Crimson Trace products can be easily installed without requiring modification to the firearm—or special gunsmithing skills. The company offers more green laser sights for firearms than the rest of the firearms accessory industry combined. Full details on the 200-plus Crimson Trace products, and the Wilsonville, Oregon headquartered company, can be obtained by visiting www.crimsontrace.com or by calling 800-442-2406.

Friends Tell Friends About Crimson Trace

Sunday, February 21st, 2016

(Wilsonville, OR)—Gun owners are well known for talking to other gun owners with the discussion topics ranging from the most recent pistol purchase, to ammo availability, and to a favorite concealed-carry handgun. More and more of those conversations now include information and discussion about Crimson Trace laser sights. Friends tell friends about Crimson Trace products—and the benefits of having a laser sight installed on a firearm.

“I had a chance today to show several friends (and even two strangers) at my local gun range how the laser improves one’s aim and accuracy,” wrote Mr. J. Greene from South Carolina. “I know they were impressed.” This is an example of the stream of favorable customer testimonial letters received at Crimson Trace.

There is plenty to write—and talk—about. With more than 200 laser sights, and with more green laser sights than the rest of the laser industry combined, Crimson Trace is clearly the nation’s leading laser sight manufacturer. Additionally, the diverse Crimson Trace products fit on specific revolvers, and on pistols by leading manufacturers such as Kimber, Glock, Smith and Wesson, Ruger and others. Crimson Trace products such as Lasergrips are precision engineered to be perfect replacement grips on a large group of firearms. Installation generally requires the use of a screw driver and does not require special gunsmithing skills.

Another point that Crimson Trace laser sight owners tell other gun owners is about the company’s Free Batteries for Life program—the only owner assistance of this type in the industry. The Wilsonville, Oregon based company recently expanded its FREE batteries program to cover nearly all Crimson Trace product categories, such as Lasergrips, Rail Master, Laserguard, Lightguard and others, except the Defender series and some Bodyguard products. To enter the Crimson Trace Free Batteries For Life program, customers should call the company’s customer care center (800-442-2406), go to www.crimsontrace.com and register online, or complete and mail the registration card included with the product at purchase.

Customer Service is a way of corporate life that Crimson Trace takes great pride in, and letters arrive frequently about the caring and professional service provided by the company’s customer service team. Those dedicated Crimson Trace customers also relay information about events ranging from self-defense uses to training experiences that result in improved accuracy. Crimson Trace customers regularly tell friends about the company—and its many products.

In fact, the Wilsonville, Oregon based manufacturer now offers more green laser sights than all of its competitors—combined.

And more green laser sights will be released by the company in the months ahead to meet growing consumer demands and customer requests.

Crimson Trace’s new LiNQ®—the world’s first wireless laser and white light system—utilizes a green laser sight along with a bright 300-Lumen LED white light. This product is designed for use on AR/MSR rifles and long guns. Other green products to consider for long guns include the Rail Master Pro® (CMR-204) and Rail Master® (CMR-206). The Rail Master CMR-206 is a compact, lightweight and very bright green laser sight designed for attachment on Weaver and Picatinny rails on handguns and long guns. Yet another option that will provide a green laser sight, along with a white light, is the rugged MVF-515G.

Crimson Trace also recently released the Laserguard® LG-489G (green) that is designed to fit the poplar Smith &Wesson M&P Shield pistol. This product is now offered with a Blade-Tech holster at a savings to the customer. The LG-489G green laser is activated by Crimson Trace’s patented Instinctive Activation™ via a pressure touch pad located under the trigger guard.

Crimson Trace also offers the Laserguard® LG-469G—a green laser sight engineered for Springfield Armory’s XD-S pistol. Another green laser product, the Laserguard LG-443G, is created for a precision fit onto Glock’s popular Model 42/43 pistols. Both of those products are also available with Blade Tech holsters as a pre-assembled package from Crimson Trace

Anyone can light up the night with various Crimson Trace products. For more than two decades, the Wilsonville, Oregon based manufacturer of laser sights and firearm lighting systems has been helping gun owners everywhere take control of the darkness. Numerous Crimson Trace innovations help light the nights.

The leader of the lights could be Crimson Trace’s Rail Master Pro products. These laser sights (red or green laser diodes) and bright light combos are packed with features, including: Instant Activation, Tap-on/Tap-off, a battery saving 5 minute auto shut off sensor if inactive, and a powerful 100-Lumen LED white light.

More details on the CMR-205 (red) and CMR-204 (green) Rail Master Pros are at www.crimsontrace.com.

Crimson Trace also offers the Rail Master as a lighting option. The CMR-202 is a 100-Lumen LED light unit that can be set to momentary, strobe and constant-on lighting. This unit is also available with a C-Tan exterior coating. Like all Rail Master products, the units can attach to a wide assortment of rails on long guns and handguns.

Anyone owning a popular 1911 compact or full-size pistol can obtain the LTG-701 to illuminate the darkness. This Lightguard packs a 130-Lumen LED white light and powers up with Crimson Trace’s patented Instinctive Activation.
