Impressions

These light and laser systems use Crimson Trace’s Instinctive Activation system which has proven to be easy to use in all situations. The power system is built into the grip and turn on when you pick up the grip.

Crimson Trace has been busy expanding their green light laser sight options, particularly for concealed-carry pistols. One model we looked at in particular was for the Smith & Wesson Shield and it performed excellently.

Pricing and Availability

The Master series grips are slated for early 2017, around February. The AK LiNQ system will be available a little later, around April. The Master Series grips have a $479 MSRP while the AK LiNQ runs $649. In-store pricing will be lower.
