Quick Summary

Crimson Trace laser grips offer instinctive activation, turning on the laser when the firearm is gripped. For self-defense distances (3-7 feet), the parallax difference between the laser dot and point of aim is minimal (1-2 inches), making it a non-issue for effective engagement and enhancing shooter confidence.
