The Crimson Trace LG496 Laserguard is a 5mW red laser sight purpose-built for the Springfield XD Mod.2 platform. If you shoot a Mod.2 and want a compact, integrated laser that doesn't add bulk or require rail real estate, this is a straightforward choice. The laser mounts directly to the trigger guard, giving you a dedicated aiming reference that works in daylight and low light without battery drain from a separate sight picture.
Red lasers at this power output stay visible to 50 feet under typical shooting conditions—useful for close-quarters defensive scenarios, low-light training, or range work where you want an alternative or supplement to iron sights. The 633nM wavelength is the classic red-laser frequency, proven across countless applications. The black polymer construction keeps weight minimal and won't snag on clothing during draw or holstering.
Trigger-guard mounted lasers live in a practical middle ground: they're faster to activate than fumbling with a rail-mounted sight, they don't obstruct your sight picture, and they're less fussy than red dots in certain lighting. Crimson Trace's Laserguard line has been field-tested by law enforcement and civilian shooters for years, so you're not betting on an unproven design.
