Laser Grip Pistol Frequent Questions

Are any other laser sights approved?

Does Crimson Trace make a laser grip for any other Department approved handguns?

No. When new types of grips become available, they will be subject to testing and approval from the Range Master. We will update any information regarding other approved laser sight systems as they become available.

Are laser grips available to fit the Beretta Compact?

No. Only the full-sized Beretta 92FS pistol.

How does the laser sight activate? Can I turn it off if needed?

The Beretta 92FS grips have an activation button on either grip panel. It is activated when you obtain a shooting grip, either right or left handed. The revolver grips have an activation button behind the triggerguard, and can also be activated by obtaining a shooting grip, right or left handed. The grips have a master "on/off" switch that is easy to operate.

How big are the grips and will they fit my holster?

The grips are almost the same size as the standard factory grips. They fit the standard duty holster, but some left handed holster may need slight adjustment by weapons training staff to confirm proper fit.

When the grips break or wear out, how can I get it fixed?

Contact Weapons Training regarding grips that become broken or worn out. There are a limited number of LG-302 (Beretta 92FS) grips available as "loaners" if your grips need to be serviced by weapons training staff. Crimson Trace offers a full three year warranty on all components and workmanship.

Where can I purchase batteries to power the laser grip?

The batteries used in the Crimson Trace product are commonly available camera type batteries. Two #2032 Lithium batteries are provided with each grip set. The batteries provide approximately four hours of constant "on" time. Most retail stores carry them on a regular basis.

Who sells the laser grips?

These laser grips are available from a variety of law enforcement supply, sporting goods and specialty stores.

 Can the laser grip be knocked out of adjustment easily?

The laser grip is preset at the factory, but it can also be adjusted by the user. The adjustment screws are very small and can be lost or damaged if moved improperly. Weapons Training can evaluate your grips and make any required adjustments if needed. Sight alignment should be confirmed after replacing batteries.

 If the laser grips fail to work, will my gun still work?

Since the Crimson Trace product is mounted to the outside of the handgun, it does not effect the normal operation of the weapon. If the laser grip does not work, simply use your iron sights.

 Can the laser beam be harmful to the eyes?

The Crimson Trace laser is the brightest beam allowed by the Food and Drug Administration. It is classified as "Eye Safe" for momentary exposure. The human eye has a natural blink reflex when subjected to strong light. Just like a strong flashlight, it is possible that eye damage could occur if someone stares directly into the laser beam.

 How do I get the training class to carry the laser grip? What do I need?

Classes are scheduled through Biscailuz Center Range. Teletype information broadcasts are routinely issued to inform personnel of anticipated dates and times. It is suggested that you purchase an approved laser grip for your weapon prior to attending the class. The phone number to Biscailuz Center is (323) 267-2730.

Purchase a set of approved laser grips for your handgun. Bring a minimum of 130 rounds of approved non-toxic ammunition, duty belt, firearm with several magazines or speedloaders, the laser grips as well as eye and ear protection.
