Crimson Trace is tackling the problem of bulky pistol lights with an illumination device that doesn’t add a lot of width or mass to the front of your pistol.

Lightguard is a US designed and manufactured rugged 100 lumen white light controlled by a patented pressure pad located under the trigger guard.  Due to its low mass, the Lightguard has a minimal affect on the pistol’s balance and function, while its slim profile makes for easy holstering.  The Lightguard platform allows the user to operate the light with one hand, which in a defensive situation, can be a decisive advantage while the support hand is free for other tasks. Lightguard features a polymer housing and uses three screws to attach it to your pistol, 100 lumen white light and uses one CR2 3.0v lithium battery giving you over two hours of illumination.

Initial designs are being released for Glock, Springfield XD and Smith & Wesson M&P handguns, additional models will be introduced for other firearms. Retail price is $150.
