The Ruger LC9 with a factory-fitted trigger-guard-mounted LaserMax CenterFire red diode laser.

LaserMax Trigger-Guard Lasers
on LCP, LC9

(GunReports.com) -- Sturm, Ruger has begun equipping Ruger LCP and LC9 pistols with factory-fitted with trigger-guard-mounted LaserMax CenterFire red diode lasers.

The new LCP and LC9 pistols both feature a LaserMax CenterFire trigger-guard-mounted laser with ambidextrous on/off switch. The laser can be adjusted for both windage and elevation, and can be removed easily with an Allen wrench (included).

These handguns are polymer-framed, hammer-fired, double-action only pistols.

These trigger-guard lasers can be very effective on little guns that have their best application as close-in defense pieces. One thing that the owner will need to be careful of is that the laser unit can, and does, shift its' position on the trigger guard. No amount of tightening the mounting screw will alleviate this problem. I have a Ruger LCP with the trigger-guard laser, and the unit always shifts slightly. At "up close and personal" range, this won't be a problem, but if one is looking for a precise shot, it might be surprising to find that the bullet will actually impact in a different location than where the red point of light shows on the target.

Does that shifting laser condition look like something that a little Loc-tite would fix?

This question is off topic here, but not as much as it would be on one of the pages about gun politics. If any of you fellas ever see Griswold Type-3 Rifle Drop Cases for sale somewhere, please let me know about it. I just cannot find any modern gun case - hard or soft - that I like as much as my Type-3s.

Loctite might help. I confess that I hadn't really thought about it. The problem is not, however, that the mounting screw turns loose. Rather, it is a matter of the plastic mount shifting on its' position clamped to the trigger guard. I don't know if Loctite works on plastic, but perhaps a little Duco cement might solve the problem. Only thing there is that the unit wouldn't be removable from the gun in order to change batteries. Maybe I should try using a shim of aluminum foil. Hmmmm.....nice conversation I am having with myself.....

In that case Colonel, try rubber cement. It's removable when you need it to be, and expands / contracts with heat and humidity. Doesn't harden and become brittle either.

'Sounds like a good idea. This forum really does yield some interesting ideas.

Warning! Don't use locktite on plastic as it will attack many plastics.
