Instinctive Activation™ – Just Grip and the Laser Comes On

Front pressure pad activation located on the frontstrap/trigger guard area. OpticsPlanet+2Ammunition Depot+2
When you assume a normal firing grip, the laser automatically turns on—no extra steps or buttons to search for.
Release your grip or use the master on/off (where applicable) when you want the laser off.
This intuitive activation method mirrors how you naturally draw and present your pistol, helping ensure the laser is on when you actually need it, not just when you remember to flip a switch. tcguns.com+2Ammunition Depot+2
