Crimson Trace Defender Series Accu-Guard Red Laser Sight for Springfield Armory XD/XD(M) Pistols
- Firearm Make Fit:
- Springfield
The Crimson Trace Defender Series Accu-Guard red laser sight for Springfield Armory XD and XD(M) pistols brings proven laser-aiming technology to one of the most popular duty and carry guns on the market. If you run an XD or XD(M) for home defense, duty carry, or the range, this trigger guard-mounted laser adds a fast target-acquisition tool that works in low light, bright sun, and everything in between—without replacing your iron sights or requiring slide cuts. The Defender Series design mounts securely to your pistol's trigger guard and activates via dual side buttons, so you can keep a firing grip while bringing the laser on target.
The 5mW red laser is factory sighted at 50 feet and delivers a crisp dot approximately 0.50 inches in diameter at that distance—precise enough for defensive accuracy and quick enough for rapid engagement. User-adjustable windage and elevation let you dial it in to your specific point of aim, and the switch-activated design means the laser stays off until you need it. Battery life runs approximately two hours per set (you can run either one 1/3N lithium or two 357 silver oxide cells), so a fresh battery set will last through serious training or duty cycles.
Built from polymer for durability without adding bulk, the Accu-Guard wears black with red activation buttons for quick visual feedback. Installation is user-level simple—no gunsmith required—and Crimson Trace backs it with a one-year limited warranty. Whether you're setting up a home-defense XD, training for a qualification, or looking to improve target acquisition in low-light scenarios, this laser sight is a genuine upgrade that works reliably without permanent modifications to your gun.
