Crimson Trace

Crimson Trace is an American manufacturer of laser sight equipment, chiefly but not exclusively for pistols.

The firm specializes in in-line upper-grip-mounted red and green laser units, trigger-guard mounted sights, and training units.

Crimson Trace partners with manufacturers of firearms in product releases, with many models shipping with Crimson Trace lasers preinstalled.
