Crimson Trace won a Shooting Industry Academy of Excellence Award for their Lightguard. I have a Laserguard on my Ruger SR9c and like it. It was very easy to install and turns on when you grip the pistol. Now to find a custom holster for it.<\/p>\n

Crimson Trace Wins Seventh Consecutive Academy of Excellence Award<\/p>\n

(Bowling Green, KY) Crimson Trace\u2019s new Lightguard\u2122 platform garnered the coveted Shooting Industry Academy of Excellence award on Friday, adding one more win to the company\u2019s already impressive track record. In front of around 300 industry peers, Lew Danielson CEO of Crimson Trace accepted the accolade for Best Self Defense Product on behalf of the company he founded 15 years ago.<\/p>\n

Academy of Excellence award nominees are selected on the basis of innovation and quality, with individual members of the shooting industry voting for the products they consider to be the best in their field. The Lightguard system of pistol-mounted lights allows the user to positively identify their target in a low-light environment and is sufficiently lightweight and compact to allow for concealed carry. \u201cIt\u2019s a great honor to accept this award on behalf of the hard-working folks at Crimson Trace,\u201d said Danielson. \u201cWe\u2019ve introduced many new products this year, building on our previous successes, but we still design and manufacture everything right here in the USA.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Lightguard platform fits popular models of Glock, Smith & Wesson and Springfield handguns and the company plans to introduce more models in the coming months. With a profile no wider or longer than the pistol\u2019s slide and an impressive 100 lumen output, the Lightguard fits comfortably into a concealment holster and will run for 2 hours on one CR2 battery.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

CORRECTION:<\/b> My discussion was on the Laserguard while Crimson Trace won for the Lightguard. I have made corrections above. I do like my Laserguard.<\/p>\n

As to the Lightguard, it seems to be a much smaller and easier activated light than other alternatives.<\/p>\n
