Beaverton, OR — October 2, 2006: Crimson Trace will be releasing a new Lasergrips model, the LG-490, that fits the small semi-auto Bobcat and Tomcat from Beretta. Scheduled availability is slated for early 2007 and complements our offerings of grip-integrated laser sighting systems for concealed carry firearms.
The LG-490 has a unique front activation button that is located near the bottom
of the grip itself, and is instinctively activated with the ring finger of the
shooter, a first for Crimson Trace. The Lasergrip itself has been ergonomically
designed to increase comfort and control of these small firearms while
shooting. Incidentally, while this Lasergrip was designed to fit right-handed
shooters perfectly, there is a slight indentation on the right side of the grip
that provides a left-handed shooter an ideal place for the middle finger to wrap
around the grip.
Another break-through feature of the LG-490 is that this is the first model to
use a smaller 3.3mm diameter laser diode vs. the standard 5.6 diameter diode
that is found in all other laser sighting devices. This advancement in laser
diode technology allows an even crisper and clearer beam, and makes the LG-490
the slimmest unit yet.
The entire grip is molded from a hard polymer to decrease drag while drawing the
small semi-auto from a pocket or holster. As with all other Lasergrips, the
LG-490 has both windage and elevation adjustments for shooters to make
adjustments on their own. All Lasergrips come with an accessory pack that
contains batteries, hex wrenches for user adjustability, a cleaning cloth and
several cleaning swabs. A three-year warranty is standard. Suggested retail
price on the Model LG-490 is $269.00.
Crimson Trace is the only manufacturer of grip-integrated laser sighting
systems. Police, all branches of the U.S. Military, and responsible citizens
worldwide use patented Lasergrips. Crimson Trace Lasergrips are recommended as
an essential accessory by some of the world’s top firearm trainers. For more
