Crimson Trace Laserguard Black Red Laser for S&W Shield Plus Handgun Trigger Guard Mount (013000052)
Crimson Trace
The Crimson Trace CTS-1520 red laser sight is a compact aiming solution built for shooters who want fast target acquisition on duty weapons and defensive carry. Designed specifically for S&W M&P and Glock handguns, this laser sight mounts securely and delivers a visible red dot aiming point in daylight and low-light environments. Whether you're training at the range, running drills, or carrying for personal protection, the CTS-1520 gives you an alternative aiming reference that works with your gun's existing sights and doesn't require batteries in your optics.
Laser sights have long been valued by law enforcement and serious shooters for their speed in aimed fire and their psychological effect—the visible dot gives shooters immediate feedback on target placement and movement. The CTS-1520 integrates into your handgun with minimal footprint, making it practical for defensive carry and duty use without adding significant weight or complexity.
This package includes the mounting kit matched to your platform, so installation is straightforward. Keep in mind that like all laser sights, performance is best appreciated in lower light; in bright daylight, the dot may be harder to see at distance, so pairing it with your pistol's iron sights or other optics remains important for reliable aiming across all conditions.

Yes. The CTS-1520 is designed to work alongside your pistol's standard sights. Many shooters use laser sights and iron sights together for redundancy and flexibility across different lighting conditions.
Laser sights are most visible and easiest to use in lower light. In bright daylight, the red dot may be harder to see at distance. For that reason, maintaining proficiency with your iron sights or pairing the laser with another aiming system is a smart practice.
