The Laser Saddle By Crimson Trace – Light It Up

I’m an unashamed shotgun nerd, and I love all types of shotguns. This includes guns that are technically not shotguns but use shotgun patterns, shotgun ammunition, and the like.

Crimson Trace has your back in making that a fair bit easier via the Crimson Trace Laser Saddle.
