Crimson Trace Laserguard for S&W M&P Shield Plus | Black | Red Laser | Model: 01-3000052 | UPC: 810048570713
Give your everyday carry a fast, intuitive aiming upgrade with the Crimson Trace Laserguard (Black, Red Laser) for the S&W® M&P Shield® Plus. Engineered for a seamless trigger-guard fit and Instinctive Activation™, this compact unit turns on as soon as you achieve a natural firing grip—no hunting for tiny buttons under stress. The high-visibility red laser delivers a crisp aiming reference that speeds target acquisition in low light, indoors, and transitional lighting, while preserving the Shield Plus’s thin, concealed-carry profile.
Designed around real-world defensive use, the Laserguard features windage and elevation adjustments for a precise zero, a durable matte-black polymer housing that resists sweat and solvents, and a holster-friendly outline compatible with many laser-ready holsters. Zero it once, confirm with your carry load, and you’re ready.
Why Choose the Crimson Trace Laserguard for Shield Plus
Instinctive Activation™: Front strap switch powers the laser automatically as you establish a proper firing grip—faster first-shot alignment from concealment.
Day/Night Visibility: The bright red laser provides a clear aiming point in low light and indoor environments, reinforcing sight alignment from awkward or compressed positions.
Shield Plus–Specific Fit: Contoured to the M&P Shield Plus trigger guard for a secure, minimal-bulk installation that preserves concealability.
User-Adjustable Zero: Windage & elevation screws let you sync the dot with your irons or set a practical offset at typical defensive distances (7–10 yards).
Duty-Tough Housing: Impact-resistant black polymer with a matte, glare-reducing finish stands up to daily carry and range use.
Holster Friendly: Works with many laser-compatible holsters, so your draw stroke and retention remain consistent.
Training Advantage: Visual feedback highlights sight movement during the trigger press, improving fundamentals in dry and live fire.

Low-Light Confidence: Complements a white light for positive identification + precise aiming in hallways, garages, and parking structures.

Mount: Align both halves of the Laserguard around the Shield Plus trigger guard; torque screws to Crimson Trace specs.
Power Up: Insert battery; verify Instinctive Activation™ from your natural firing grip.
Zero: Start at 7–10 yards. Use windage/elevation screws to co-witness with irons or set your preferred defensive offset.
Confirm: Re-check zero with carry ammo after the first range session and periodically afterward.
Care & Maintenance
Lens Care: Wipe the emitter window with a microfiber cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
Battery Routine: Replace proactively (e.g., annually or by runtime) or when brightness dips.
Hardware Check: Verify mounting screw tension after initial live fire; consider non-permanent thread locker.
Storage: Remove battery for long-term storage.
Holster & Accessory Notes
Choose a holster molded for the Shield Plus with Laserguard to maintain retention, trigger coverage, and safe reholstering.
Pair with a handheld or weapon-mounted white light for proper PID (positive identification); let the laser handle fast aiming.
Safety & Compliance
Practice laser safety—avoid direct eye exposure and follow local laws for laser-equipped firearms.
The laser augments your irons or optic; continue training core fundamentals (grip, stance, trigger, and follow-through).
