Crimson Trace LG497G Laserguard 5mW Green Laser Sight with 532nM Wavelength & 50 ft Range, Black Finish for Ruger LCP II

The Crimson Trace LG497G Laserguard is a compact green laser sight purpose-built for the Ruger LCP II, delivering fast target acquisition without adding bulk to your everyday carry or backup defensive gun. Unlike traditional iron sights that require precise alignment under stress, this 5mW green laser projects a visible aiming point at 50 feet, cutting through the gap between sight picture and shot placement when seconds matter. The green wavelength (532nM) is naturally easier for the human eye to track than red, especially in varied lighting—a genuine advantage for concealed carry and close-quarters defensive scenarios.

Installation takes minutes with no gunsmithing: the laserguard clamps around the trigger guard of your LCP II, and the included adjustment tool lets you dial in windage and elevation from the factory 50-foot zero. The front activation button engages the laser when you establish your normal firing grip—Crimson Trace calls this Instinctive Activation, and it means the laser fires only when you intend to shoot. A single 1/3N lithium battery powers the unit for over four hours of continuous use, so you're not constantly replacing cells if you run drills or carry it regularly.

Built from reinforced polymer with a rubber overmold for durability and grip, the black finish blends with your LCP II's profile. The 0.50-inch dot at 50 feet is small enough for precise aiming yet bright enough to pick up in daylight. This is a purpose-built accessory for a specific carry gun—no universal mounting headaches, no compatibility guessing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Crimson Trace LG497G fit my Ruger LCP II?

Yes—this laserguard is designed specifically for the Ruger LCP II and clamps onto the trigger guard. No modifications to the firearm are needed, and installation is quick and user-friendly.

How does the green laser compare to a red laser sight?

The green wavelength (532nM) is naturally brighter and easier for the human eye to track than red, particularly in daylight or variable lighting. For a small carry gun where you may need fast target confirmation, this is a genuine advantage.

What's included in the box, and what do I need to get started?

The laserguard comes with an adjustment tool (0.05 wrench size) for windage and elevation tuning, and it ships factory sighted at 50 feet. You'll need to supply one 1/3N lithium battery to power it. No gunsmithing or additional tools are required for installation.

How long does the battery last?

A single 1/3N lithium battery provides over four hours of continuous runtime. If you use the laser intermittently or rely on Instinctive Activation (firing grip only), battery life extends further between replacements.
