Crimson Trace Laserguard for S&W M&P Shield Plus | Black | Green Laser | Model: 01-3000053 | UPC: 810048570720
Upgrade your S&W® M&P Shield® Plus with the Crimson Trace Laserguard (Black, Green Laser)—a compact, instinctive-activation aiming solution designed to speed up sight acquisition, enhance low-light performance, and boost confidence from concealment to home defense. The high-visibility green laser is easier for the human eye to pick up than red in a wide range of lighting conditions, delivering a crisp aiming reference that stands out on bright backdrops and in transitional light.
Purpose-built to follow the contours of the Shield Plus trigger guard, this Laserguard installs with minimal effort and maintains your pistol’s slim profile. Instinctive Activation™ engages the laser the moment you achieve a natural firing grip—no searching for switches when it matters most. Zero it once and go: robust windage/elevation adjustments help you fine-tune point of impact for your preferred defensive load.
Why Choose the Crimson Trace Laserguard (Green) for Shield Plus
Daylight-Visible Green Laser: Brighter to the human eye than red, helping you acquire the dot faster in bright indoor light or sunlit environments.
Instinctive Activation™: Front strap switch turns the laser on as you grip the pistol—keeps your focus on the threat, not a tiny button.
Shield Plus–Specific Fit: Wraps the trigger guard for a seamless, secure installation while preserving the handgun’s concealment-friendly profile.
User-Adjustable Zero: Windage & elevation screws let you dial POA/POI for realistic defensive distances.

Mount the Laserguard: Align around the trigger guard and tighten hardware per Crimson Trace torque guidance.
Insert Battery & Test: Confirm Instinctive Activation from your natural firing grip.
Zero the Laser: Start at 7–10 yards; adjust windage/elevation to co-witness with irons or your preferred offset.
Confirm Under Stress: Validate zero with carry ammo and run draw-stroke reps to ensure the switch behavior matches your grip.
Maintenance & Battery Care
Lens Care: Wipe the emitter window with a microfiber cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
Battery Replacement: Swap at regular intervals (e.g., annually or by runtime) or anytime brightness diminishes.
Fastener Checks: Re-check mounting screws after initial range session; use non-permanent thread locker if needed.
Storage: If storing long term, remove the battery to prevent leakage.
Holster & Accessory Notes
Choose holsters specifically molded for Shield Plus with Laserguard to preserve retention and trigger coverage.
Pairs well with a white light solution for ID (laser for aim, light for PID), ensuring roles don’t overlap.
Safety & Compliance
Always adhere to laser safety: avoid eye exposure and confirm local regulations on laser-equipped firearms.
Zero responsibly and practice regular dry/live fire to ensure the laser complements—not replaces—fundamental sight skills.
