The old adage appears to be true; good things come to those who wait. The industry-wide whispers about Crimson Trace introducing green lasers can finally be silenced because they have officially unveiled new Laserguards and ever-popular Rail Masters with green lasers for purchase this fall. Don’t confuse this advancement in laser technology with the whole Zombie craze. The human eye naturally picks up the color green more so than red, allowing more accuracy in acquiring your target so green lasers were the next logical step . . .

Historically, green lasers have taken up more space and generate more heat than their red counterparts. To remedy this, Crimson Trace put countless man-hours into perfecting their green lasers, producing what they claim is the most efficient and lightweight green frickin’ laser beam to hit the market. They outperform their competitors in battery life, temperature variation and size.

With an “over two hour” run time in both green laser platforms and the patented Instinctive Activation on the Laserguard, these are no-brainers. So for those of you who prefer a more visible green laser over the traditional red, the streamlined Laserguard will be available for Smith and Kimber 1911’s, Springfield XD & XD(M), as well as full-size & compact Glocks. And you’ll be able to slap a Rail Master on just about any gun with a Picatinny or Weaver rail.

I can’t wait to test out the green Rail Master on my HK P30. See you all at the range!
