\n\nWith Christmas around the corner, Crimson Trace will soon be releasing a new laser<\/a> sighting solution for Mossberg\u2019s popular 500, 590 and Shockwave shotguns in both red and green. Aptly named the Crimson Trace Lasersaddle, these sights fit closely over the top of the receiver.\n\n[in_content post=\"110423\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\nInstallation is a simply do-it-yourself job. The sights secure at the sides using existing pin holes and along the top with the existing screw holes used to mount a Picatinny rail. In fact, users can install the rail on top of the saddle without adding much to its overall height.\n\nThe Lasersaddle is snag free and very slim, barely altering the gun\u2019s lines. Additionally, The lens projects the laser from\u00a0the right side of the unit just behind the ejection port. As such, the beam is approximately level with the top of the barrel. This puts the beam along the eye\u2019s natural sight path.\n\nUsers can also easily adjust for windage and elevation to match the shotgun pattern\u2019s point of impact. The body of the sight is made of a tough black polymer.\n
Crimson Trace Lasersaddle Controls<\/h2>\nThe master on\/off switch is a tiny sliding rectangular type mounted on the right side above the trigger toward the top of the receiver. In fact, Crimson Trace set the switch in a\u00a0depression to protect it from accidentally getting switched off if the receiver is brushed up against something. This also helps in locating the switch quickly by feel.\n\nThe laser beam\u2019s controls are ambidextrous and press on and off. For the right handed, there\u2019s a raised rubber strip with three contact points curving down the right side of the receiver from the just below the rear of the safety. It\u2019s located by the wrist of the stock, just above the front of the triggerguard. For left handers, there\u2019s a thumb-operated activation pad on the top of the saddle above the safety.\n\nUsers can access the\u00a0battery case from the right side of the unit, which is secured with a Philips head screw. Two common and inexpensive CR2032 coin batteries power the red LS-250 for about four hours of continuous use.\u00a0The LS-250G green laser draws more power and requires four CR2016 batteries to also provide approximately four hours of use.\n\nBoth qualify for Crimson Trace\u2019s free batteries for life program and are covered by a three-year warranty.\n\n[in_content post=\"104817\" alignment=\"align-right\" \/]\nRed Versus Green<\/h3>\nWhile great at night, red lasers can get lost easily in bright sun, even in normal light at ranges beyond a few yards. The green laser is slightly more expensive, but has much better daylight visibility. This has nothing to do with the power of the laser. Both the LS-250 and the LS-250G have a dot that is 0.5 inches in diameter at 50 feet. Both also use a 5mW laser. Because of this, they are both considered Class 3R lasers and emit identical peak power output levels, the maximum allowed under federal regulation.\n\nThe green laser operates from 551nm to 532nm, while the red laser operates between 620nm and 670nm. The green is easier to see because the human eye is more receptive to green than red. You might keep that in mind if you ever accidentally run a red light and get pulled over by the law.\n\nA laser sight is especially well adapted to defensive\/tactical shotgun shooting, ideally co-mounted with a tactical light for night use. The laser allows shooters to maintain total focus on the target area. In the case of pistol gripped shotguns or firearms lacking a buttstock, such as the Mossberg 590 Shockwave<\/a>, a laser is the only practical way to aim and shoot.\n\nWith the Crimson Trace Lasersaddle, shooters can aim and fire these handy weapons with great accuracy and speed from the hip. However, without them, hip shooting beyond point blank range is not likely to produce many hits on target. I tested this out myself.\n\nWhile the laser is an enhancement on a normal full stocked shotgun, it\u2019s absolutely critical on the Shockwave for the latter to be a versatile and effective defensive tool.\nCrimson Trace Lasersaddle<\/h3>\n\n \t- Material: Polymer<\/li>\n \t

I tested this out myself.\n\nWhile the laser is an enhancement on a normal full stocked shotgun, it\u2019s absolutely critical on the Shockwave for the latter to be a versatile and effective defensive tool.\nCrimson Trace Lasersaddle<\/h3>\n\n \t- Material: Polymer<\/li>\n \t

\n\nWith Christmas around the corner, Crimson Trace will soon be releasing a new laser<\/a> sighting solution for Mossberg\u2019s popular 500, 590 and Shockwave shotguns in both red and green. Aptly named the Crimson Trace Lasersaddle, these sights fit closely over the top of the receiver.\n\n[in_content post=\"110423\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\nInstallation is a simply do-it-yourself job. The sights secure at the sides using existing pin holes and along the top with the existing screw holes used to mount a Picatinny rail. In fact, users can install the rail on top of the saddle without adding much to its overall height.\n\nThe Lasersaddle is snag free and very slim, barely altering the gun\u2019s lines. Additionally, The lens projects the laser from\u00a0the right side of the unit just behind the ejection port. As such, the beam is approximately level with the top of the barrel. This puts the beam along the eye\u2019s natural sight path.\n\nUsers can also easily adjust for windage and elevation to match the shotgun pattern\u2019s point of impact. The body of the sight is made of a tough black polymer.\n
Crimson Trace Lasersaddle Controls<\/h2>\nThe master on\/off switch is a tiny sliding rectangular type mounted on the right side above the trigger toward the top of the receiver. In fact, Crimson Trace set the switch in a\u00a0depression to protect it from accidentally getting switched off if the receiver is brushed up against something. This also helps in locating the switch quickly by feel.\n\nThe laser beam\u2019s controls are ambidextrous and press on and off. For the right handed, there\u2019s a raised rubber strip with three contact points curving down the right side of the receiver from the just below the rear of the safety. It\u2019s located by the wrist of the stock, just above the front of the triggerguard. For left handers, there\u2019s a thumb-operated activation pad on the top of the saddle above the safety.\n\nUsers can access the\u00a0battery case from the right side of the unit, which is secured with a Philips head screw. Two common and inexpensive CR2032 coin batteries power the red LS-250 for about four hours of continuous use.\u00a0The LS-250G green laser draws more power and requires four CR2016 batteries to also provide approximately four hours of use.\n\nBoth qualify for Crimson Trace\u2019s free batteries for life program and are covered by a three-year warranty.\n\n[in_content post=\"104817\" alignment=\"align-right\" \/]\nRed Versus Green<\/h3>\nWhile great at night, red lasers can get lost easily in bright sun, even in normal light at ranges beyond a few yards. The green laser is slightly more expensive, but has much better daylight visibility. This has nothing to do with the power of the laser. Both the LS-250 and the LS-250G have a dot that is 0.5 inches in diameter at 50 feet. Both also use a 5mW laser. Because of this, they are both considered Class 3R lasers and emit identical peak power output levels, the maximum allowed under federal regulation.\n\nThe green laser operates from 551nm to 532nm, while the red laser operates between 620nm and 670nm. The green is easier to see because the human eye is more receptive to green than red. You might keep that in mind if you ever accidentally run a red light and get pulled over by the law.\n\nA laser sight is especially well adapted to defensive\/tactical shotgun shooting, ideally co-mounted with a tactical light for night use. The laser allows shooters to maintain total focus on the target area. In the case of pistol gripped shotguns or firearms lacking a buttstock, such as the Mossberg 590 Shockwave<\/a>, a laser is the only practical way to aim and shoot.\n\nWith the Crimson Trace Lasersaddle, shooters can aim and fire these handy weapons with great accuracy and speed from the hip. However, without them, hip shooting beyond point blank range is not likely to produce many hits on target. I tested this out myself.\n\nWhile the laser is an enhancement on a normal full stocked shotgun, it\u2019s absolutely critical on the Shockwave for the latter to be a versatile and effective defensive tool.\nCrimson Trace Lasersaddle<\/h3>\n\n \t- Material: Polymer<\/li>\n \t

\n\nWith Christmas around the corner, Crimson Trace will soon be releasing a new laser<\/a> sighting solution for Mossberg\u2019s popular 500, 590 and Shockwave shotguns in both red and green. Aptly named the Crimson Trace Lasersaddle, these sights fit closely over the top of the receiver.\n\n[in_content post=\"110423\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\nInstallation is a simply do-it-yourself job. The sights secure at the sides using existing pin holes and along the top with the existing screw holes used to mount a Picatinny rail. In fact, users can install the rail on top of the saddle without adding much to its overall height.\n\nThe Lasersaddle is snag free and very slim, barely altering the gun\u2019s lines. Additionally, The lens projects the laser from\u00a0the right side of the unit just behind the ejection port. As such, the beam is approximately level with the top of the barrel. This puts the beam along the eye\u2019s natural sight path.\n\nUsers can also easily adjust for windage and elevation to match the shotgun pattern\u2019s point of impact. The body of the sight is made of a tough black polymer.\n
Crimson Trace Lasersaddle Controls<\/h2>\nThe master on\/off switch is a tiny sliding rectangular type mounted on the right side above the trigger toward the top of the receiver. In fact, Crimson Trace set the switch in a\u00a0depression to protect it from accidentally getting switched off if the receiver is brushed up against something. This also helps in locating the switch quickly by feel.\n\nThe laser beam\u2019s controls are ambidextrous and press on and off. For the right handed, there\u2019s a raised rubber strip with three contact points curving down the right side of the receiver from the just below the rear of the safety. It\u2019s located by the wrist of the stock, just above the front of the triggerguard. For left handers, there\u2019s a thumb-operated activation pad on the top of the saddle above the safety.\n\nUsers can access the\u00a0battery case from the right side of the unit, which is secured with a Philips head screw. Two common and inexpensive CR2032 coin batteries power the red LS-250 for about four hours of continuous use.\u00a0The LS-250G green laser draws more power and requires four CR2016 batteries to also provide approximately four hours of use.\n\nBoth qualify for Crimson Trace\u2019s free batteries for life program and are covered by a three-year warranty.\n\n[in_content post=\"104817\" alignment=\"align-right\" \/]\nRed Versus Green<\/h3>\nWhile great at night, red lasers can get lost easily in bright sun, even in normal light at ranges beyond a few yards. The green laser is slightly more expensive, but has much better daylight visibility. This has nothing to do with the power of the laser. Both the LS-250 and the LS-250G have a dot that is 0.5 inches in diameter at 50 feet. Both also use a 5mW laser. Because of this, they are both considered Class 3R lasers and emit identical peak power output levels, the maximum allowed under federal regulation.\n\nThe green laser operates from 551nm to 532nm, while the red laser operates between 620nm and 670nm. The green is easier to see because the human eye is more receptive to green than red. You might keep that in mind if you ever accidentally run a red light and get pulled over by the law.\n\nA laser sight is especially well adapted to defensive\/tactical shotgun shooting, ideally co-mounted with a tactical light for night use. The laser allows shooters to maintain total focus on the target area. In the case of pistol gripped shotguns or firearms lacking a buttstock, such as the Mossberg 590 Shockwave<\/a>, a laser is the only practical way to aim and shoot.\n\nWith the Crimson Trace Lasersaddle, shooters can aim and fire these handy weapons with great accuracy and speed from the hip. However, without them, hip shooting beyond point blank range is not likely to produce many hits on target. I tested this out myself.\n\nWhile the laser is an enhancement on a normal full stocked shotgun, it\u2019s absolutely critical on the Shockwave for the latter to be a versatile and effective defensive tool.\nCrimson Trace Lasersaddle<\/h3>\n\n \t- Material: Polymer<\/li>\n \t

Now, they can make it even better with the Viridian E-Series Red Laser Sight. In fact, shooters can choose between the E-Series and the Reactor R5 Green Laser Sight.\n\n[in_content post=\"108984\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\n\u201cOur E-SERIES and REACTOR Gen 2 lasers are designed from the ground up for concealed carry,\u201d said Viridian President and CEO Brian Hedeen. \u201cWhen combined with the SIG Sauer P365, you\u2019ve got a compact pairing that offers the reliability and fast target acquisition needed for personal protection.\u201d\n\nViridian constructs the E-Series from\u00a0theromolded polymer. This makes the unit extremely lightweight. In fact, the E-Series only weighs a mere .78 ounces. However, it also features a\u00a05mW laser<\/a>, which is the most powerful laser allowed by law. This power provides targeting up to 25 yards in daylight. Of course, it runs much farther at night. In fact, Viridian claims goes out to a mile in the dark.\n\nAdditionally, the unit features\u00a0easy windage and elevation adjustments, as well as ambidextrous on\/off switch. It can also run more than six hours on a single battery, but shuts off automatically after five minutes to save battery life.\n\nOf course, Viridian also provides a green laser option. The Reactor is available for a variety of handguns, including the SIG P365<\/a>. It also features windage and elevation adjustment and high strength theromolded polymer construction. However, its green laser effectively targets out to 100 yards during the day and up to 2 miles at night. It also comes with an IWB holster\u00a0with INSTANT-ON automatic laser activation. However, green lasers use battery power quicker and costs more.\n

This makes the unit extremely lightweight. In fact, the E-Series only weighs a mere .78 ounces. However, it also features a\u00a05mW laser<\/a>, which is the most powerful laser allowed by law. This power provides targeting up to 25 yards in daylight. Of course, it runs much farther at night.

It can also run more than six hours on a single battery, but shuts off automatically after five minutes to save battery life.\n\nOf course, Viridian also provides a green laser option. The Reactor is available for a variety of handguns, including the SIG P365<\/a>. It also features windage and elevation adjustment and high strength theromolded polymer construction. However, its green laser effectively targets out to 100 yards during the day and up to 2 miles at night. It also comes with an IWB holster\u00a0with INSTANT-ON automatic laser activation.

\n\nWith Christmas around the corner, Crimson Trace will soon be releasing a new laser<\/a> sighting solution for Mossberg\u2019s popular 500, 590 and Shockwave shotguns in both red and green. Aptly named the Crimson Trace Lasersaddle, these sights fit closely over the top of the receiver.\n\n[in_content post=\"110423\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\nInstallation is a simply do-it-yourself job. The sights secure at the sides using existing pin holes and along the top with the existing screw holes used to mount a Picatinny rail. In fact, users can install the rail on top of the saddle without adding much to its overall height.\n\nThe Lasersaddle is snag free and very slim, barely altering the gun\u2019s lines. Additionally, The lens projects the laser from\u00a0the right side of the unit just behind the ejection port. As such, the beam is approximately level with the top of the barrel. This puts the beam along the eye\u2019s natural sight path.\n\nUsers can also easily adjust for windage and elevation to match the shotgun pattern\u2019s point of impact. The body of the sight is made of a tough black polymer.\n
Crimson Trace Lasersaddle Controls<\/h2>\nThe master on\/off switch is a tiny sliding rectangular type mounted on the right side above the trigger toward the top of the receiver. In fact, Crimson Trace set the switch in a\u00a0depression to protect it from accidentally getting switched off if the receiver is brushed up against something. This also helps in locating the switch quickly by feel.\n\nThe laser beam\u2019s controls are ambidextrous and press on and off. For the right handed, there\u2019s a raised rubber strip with three contact points curving down the right side of the receiver from the just below the rear of the safety. It\u2019s located by the wrist of the stock, just above the front of the triggerguard. For left handers, there\u2019s a thumb-operated activation pad on the top of the saddle above the safety.\n\nUsers can access the\u00a0battery case from the right side of the unit, which is secured with a Philips head screw. Two common and inexpensive CR2032 coin batteries power the red LS-250 for about four hours of continuous use.\u00a0The LS-250G green laser draws more power and requires four CR2016 batteries to also provide approximately four hours of use.\n\nBoth qualify for Crimson Trace\u2019s free batteries for life program and are covered by a three-year warranty.\n\n[in_content post=\"104817\" alignment=\"align-right\" \/]\nRed Versus Green<\/h3>\nWhile great at night, red lasers can get lost easily in bright sun, even in normal light at ranges beyond a few yards. The green laser is slightly more expensive, but has much better daylight visibility. This has nothing to do with the power of the laser. Both the LS-250 and the LS-250G have a dot that is 0.5 inches in diameter at 50 feet. Both also use a 5mW laser. Because of this, they are both considered Class 3R lasers and emit identical peak power output levels, the maximum allowed under federal regulation.\n\nThe green laser operates from 551nm to 532nm, while the red laser operates between 620nm and 670nm. The green is easier to see because the human eye is more receptive to green than red. You might keep that in mind if you ever accidentally run a red light and get pulled over by the law.\n\nA laser sight is especially well adapted to defensive\/tactical shotgun shooting, ideally co-mounted with a tactical light for night use. The laser allows shooters to maintain total focus on the target area. In the case of pistol gripped shotguns or firearms lacking a buttstock, such as the Mossberg 590 Shockwave<\/a>, a laser is the only practical way to aim and shoot.\n\nWith the Crimson Trace Lasersaddle, shooters can aim and fire these handy weapons with great accuracy and speed from the hip. However, without them, hip shooting beyond point blank range is not likely to produce many hits on target. I tested this out myself.\n\nWhile the laser is an enhancement on a normal full stocked shotgun, it\u2019s absolutely critical on the Shockwave for the latter to be a versatile and effective defensive tool.\nCrimson Trace Lasersaddle<\/h3>\n\n \t- Material: Polymer<\/li>\n \t

You might keep that in mind if you ever accidentally run a red light and get pulled over by the law.\n\nA laser sight is especially well adapted to defensive\/tactical shotgun shooting, ideally co-mounted with a tactical light for night use. The laser allows shooters to maintain total focus on the target area. In the case of pistol gripped shotguns or firearms lacking a buttstock, such as the Mossberg 590 Shockwave<\/a>, a laser is the only practical way to aim and shoot.\n\nWith the Crimson Trace Lasersaddle, shooters can aim and fire these handy weapons with great accuracy and speed from the hip. However, without them, hip shooting beyond point blank range is not likely to produce many hits on target. I tested this out myself.\n\nWhile the laser is an enhancement on a normal full stocked shotgun, it\u2019s absolutely critical on the Shockwave for the latter to be a versatile and effective defensive tool.\nCrimson Trace Lasersaddle<\/h3>\n\n \t- Material: Polymer<\/li>\n \t

However, its green laser effectively targets out to 100 yards during the day and up to 2 miles at night. It also comes with an IWB holster\u00a0with INSTANT-ON automatic laser activation.

\n\nWith Christmas around the corner, Crimson Trace will soon be releasing a new laser<\/a> sighting solution for Mossberg\u2019s popular 500, 590 and Shockwave shotguns in both red and green. Aptly named the Crimson Trace Lasersaddle, these sights fit closely over the top of the receiver.\n\n[in_content post=\"110423\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\nInstallation is a simply do-it-yourself job. The sights secure at the sides using existing pin holes and along the top with the existing screw holes used to mount a Picatinny rail. In fact, users can install the rail on top of the saddle without adding much to its overall height.\n\nThe Lasersaddle is snag free and very slim, barely altering the gun\u2019s lines. Additionally, The lens projects the laser from\u00a0the right side of the unit just behind the ejection port. As such, the beam is approximately level with the top of the barrel. This puts the beam along the eye\u2019s natural sight path.\n\nUsers can also easily adjust for windage and elevation to match the shotgun pattern\u2019s point of impact. The body of the sight is made of a tough black polymer.\n
Crimson Trace Lasersaddle Controls<\/h2>\nThe master on\/off switch is a tiny sliding rectangular type mounted on the right side above the trigger toward the top of the receiver. In fact, Crimson Trace set the switch in a\u00a0depression to protect it from accidentally getting switched off if the receiver is brushed up against something. This also helps in locating the switch quickly by feel.\n\nThe laser beam\u2019s controls are ambidextrous and press on and off. For the right handed, there\u2019s a raised rubber strip with three contact points curving down the right side of the receiver from the just below the rear of the safety. It\u2019s located by the wrist of the stock, just above the front of the triggerguard. For left handers, there\u2019s a thumb-operated activation pad on the top of the saddle above the safety.\n\nUsers can access the\u00a0battery case from the right side of the unit, which is secured with a Philips head screw. Two common and inexpensive CR2032 coin batteries power the red LS-250 for about four hours of continuous use.\u00a0The LS-250G green laser draws more power and requires four CR2016 batteries to also provide approximately four hours of use.\n\nBoth qualify for Crimson Trace\u2019s free batteries for life program and are covered by a three-year warranty.\n\n[in_content post=\"104817\" alignment=\"align-right\" \/]\nRed Versus Green<\/h3>\nWhile great at night, red lasers can get lost easily in bright sun, even in normal light at ranges beyond a few yards. The green laser is slightly more expensive, but has much better daylight visibility. This has nothing to do with the power of the laser. Both the LS-250 and the LS-250G have a dot that is 0.5 inches in diameter at 50 feet. Both also use a 5mW laser. Because of this, they are both considered Class 3R lasers and emit identical peak power output levels, the maximum allowed under federal regulation.\n\nThe green laser operates from 551nm to 532nm, while the red laser operates between 620nm and 670nm. The green is easier to see because the human eye is more receptive to green than red. You might keep that in mind if you ever accidentally run a red light and get pulled over by the law.\n\nA laser sight is especially well adapted to defensive\/tactical shotgun shooting, ideally co-mounted with a tactical light for night use.

The Reactor is available for a variety of handguns, including the SIG P365<\/a>. It also features windage and elevation adjustment and high strength theromolded polymer construction. However, its green laser effectively targets out to 100 yards during the day and up to 2 miles at night. It also comes with an IWB holster\u00a0with INSTANT-ON automatic laser activation.

\n\nWith Christmas around the corner, Crimson Trace will soon be releasing a new laser<\/a> sighting solution for Mossberg\u2019s popular 500, 590 and Shockwave shotguns in both red and green. Aptly named the Crimson Trace Lasersaddle, these sights fit closely over the top of the receiver.\n\n[in_content post=\"110423\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\n\nInstallation is a simply do-it-yourself job. The sights secure at the sides using existing pin holes and along the top with the existing screw holes used to mount a Picatinny rail. In fact, users can install the rail on top of the saddle without adding much to its overall height.\n\nThe Lasersaddle is snag free and very slim, barely altering the gun\u2019s lines. Additionally, The lens projects the laser from\u00a0the right side of the unit just behind the ejection port. As such, the beam is approximately level with the top of the barrel. This puts the beam along the eye\u2019s natural sight path.\n\nUsers can also easily adjust for windage and elevation to match the shotgun pattern\u2019s point of impact. The body of the sight is made of a tough black polymer.\n
Crimson Trace Lasersaddle Controls<\/h2>\nThe master on\/off switch is a tiny sliding rectangular type mounted on the right side above the trigger toward the top of the receiver. In fact, Crimson Trace set the switch in a\u00a0depression to protect it from accidentally getting switched off if the receiver is brushed up against something. This also helps in locating the switch quickly by feel.\n\nThe laser beam\u2019s controls are ambidextrous and press on and off. For the right handed, there\u2019s a raised rubber strip with three contact points curving down the right side of the receiver from the just below the rear of the safety. It\u2019s located by the wrist of the stock, just above the front of the triggerguard. For left handers, there\u2019s a thumb-operated activation pad on the top of the saddle above the safety.\n\nUsers can access the\u00a0battery case from the right side of the unit, which is secured with a Philips head screw. Two common and inexpensive CR2032 coin batteries power the red LS-250 for about four hours of continuous use.\u00a0The LS-250G green laser draws more power and requires four CR2016 batteries to also provide approximately four hours of use.\n\nBoth qualify for Crimson Trace\u2019s free batteries for life program and are covered by a three-year warranty.\n\n[in_content post=\"104817\" alignment=\"align-right\" \/]\nRed Versus Green<\/h3>\nWhile great at night, red lasers can get lost easily in bright sun, even in normal light at ranges beyond a few yards. The green laser is slightly more expensive, but has much better daylight visibility. This has nothing to do with the power of the laser. Both the LS-250 and the LS-250G have a dot that is 0.5 inches in diameter at 50 feet. Both also use a 5mW laser. Because of this, they are both considered Class 3R lasers and emit identical peak power output levels, the maximum allowed under federal regulation.\n\nThe green laser operates from 551nm to 532nm, while the red laser operates between 620nm and 670nm. The green is easier to see because the human eye is more receptive to green than red. You might keep that in mind if you ever accidentally run a red light and get pulled over by the law.\n\nA laser sight is especially well adapted to defensive\/tactical shotgun shooting, ideally co-mounted with a tactical light for night use. The laser allows shooters to maintain total focus on the target area. In the case of pistol gripped shotguns or firearms lacking a buttstock, such as the Mossberg 590 Shockwave<\/a>, a laser is the only practical way to aim and shoot.\n\nWith the Crimson Trace Lasersaddle, shooters can aim and fire these handy weapons with great accuracy and speed from the hip. However, without them, hip shooting beyond point blank range is not likely to produce many hits on target. I tested this out myself.\n\nWhile the laser is an enhancement on a normal full stocked shotgun, it\u2019s absolutely critical on the Shockwave for the latter to be a versatile and effective defensive tool.\nCrimson Trace Lasersaddle<\/h3>\n\n \t- Material: Polymer<\/li>\n \t
