It mounts directly to the trigger guard and is available for specific handgun models.

The LaserMax CenterFire Light and Laser with GripSense technology offers a unique capacitive touch sensor for activation, independent of grip strength. It features a mint green light for better human eye detection and offers multiple modes, including steady light/laser, pulsing laser, and light-only options. The unit is available for various firearm models and includes tool-free battery changes and windage/elevation adjustments for the laser.
