Frequently Asked Questions

How do you activate the Lasermax integrated guide rod laser?

The Lasermax guide rod laser is activated by pressing the firearm's takedown lever inward. This action can be performed with your thumb or trigger finger, making it ambidextrous and accessible during a draw.

What are the advantages of an integrated guide rod laser over a red dot sight for self-defense?

An integrated laser like the Lasermax can be engaged from the hip without full sight alignment, potentially faster in close-quarters self-defense. It also cannot lose its zero, unlike many red dot sights, and doesn't require a specialized holster.

Can an integrated laser like the Lasermax be used with my existing Glock holster?

Yes, a significant advantage of integrated guide rod lasers is that they do not alter the external dimensions of the firearm. This means you can typically use your existing holster without needing to purchase a new one, unlike with many external laser or light attachments.

Why does the Lasermax laser pulsate?

The pulsating nature of the Lasermax laser is a design feature intended to make the dot easier for the human eye to catch and track, especially under stress or in dynamic situations, compared to a static laser beam.
