Crimson Trace is a U.S.-based producer of laser sight systems, focusing mainly on handgun applications. The firm is known for its red and green laser modules that attach to the upper grip, as well as trigger-guard mounted laser sights and various training accessories. Crimson Trace partners with firearm makers, and numerous firearm models are offered with its laser sights installed from the factory.
