CRIM 01-3000172 LASERGUARD CSX-R Precision Laser Sight for Handguns

The Crimson Trace Laserguard CSX-R is a trigger guard–mounted red laser sight built to give pistol shooters a fast, intuitive aiming tool for close-quarters engagement and low-light shooting. Unlike laser systems that require you to remember a manual switch, the CSX-R uses Crimson Trace's Instinctive Activation technology: the laser comes on naturally when you grip the gun, so your aiming tool is ready the moment your hand closes around the frame. It's the kind of thing that works when you need it—no extra step, no thinking.

Installation is straightforward: the laser mounts around the trigger guard and sits flat against your pistol, integrated enough that it looks like factory hardware rather than an add-on. The adjustable sight lets you dial in your zero at your shooting distance, and a master on/off switch gives you control when you're storing or transporting the gun. Inside you'll find a single 1/3N lithium battery—common, affordable, and reliable.

Whether you're training for defensive carry, running drills at the range, or just want a backup aiming reference in dim light, the CSX-R laser sight rewards the shooter who values speed and simplicity. The red beam is visible in moderate indoor light and shadows, and the compact profile means it won't snag in a holster or add significant bulk to your carry gun.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Laserguard CSX-R compatible with my handgun?

The CSX-R mounts around the trigger guard. Crimson Trace produces laser sights for a wide range of pistols; we recommend verifying compatibility with our sales team or consulting the manufacturer's compatibility list for your specific model.

How does Instinctive Activation work?

The laser turns on when you grip the pistol naturally—no toggle switch or button to press. This is Crimson Trace's patented design, meant to get your aiming reference active the moment your hand closes around the frame, without adding a cognitive step in a defensive scenario or during training.

What battery does it use, and how long does it last?

The CSX-R runs on one 1/3N lithium battery, a common, inexpensive type available at most retailers. Exact runtime depends on use and storage conditions; we recommend consulting the manual for estimated battery life and replacement intervals.

Can I turn the laser off manually?

Yes. The CSX-R includes a master on/off switch, so you can deactivate the laser for transport, storage, or when you prefer to rely on iron sights.
