Crimson Trace LG497 Laserguard 5mW Red Laser (633nm) with 50 ft Range, Black Finish for Ruger LCP II

The Crimson Trace LG497 Laserguard is a compact red laser sight engineered for the Ruger LCP II, one of the most popular concealed-carry pistols on the market. This 5mW laser mounts directly to the trigger guard without requiring any gunsmithing or permanent modifications—install it yourself in minutes using the provided tool. It's the kind of force-multiplier that makes sense for a pocket pistol, where sight acquisition under stress matters as much as the gun's reliability.

Crimson Trace built the LG497 around their Instinctive Activation system: hold the LCP II in your normal firing grip, and a front-mounted button activates the laser. No fumbling for controls, no awkward thumb reaches. The laser is factory sighted at 50 feet and user-adjustable for windage and elevation, so you can dial it in to your point of aim at your preferred distance. At 50 feet, the dot prints approximately 0.50 inches—tight enough for precise shot placement on steel or paper. Runtime is rated over four hours on a single 1/3N lithium battery, the kind of longevity that means you're not hunting for replacements mid-range session.

Built from polymer with a rubber overmold, the black-finished sight is lightweight and snag-free. It clamps cleanly around the LCP II's trigger guard and sits flush enough for carry. Crimson Trace backs it with a three-year full warranty, which reflects their confidence in the design.

Whether you're running your LCP II as a backup or primary deep-concealment piece, the LG497 adds a layer of capability without bulk or permanent gun changes. It's practical gear for defensive shooters who want their sights to work when they need them most.
