Currently, I have Crimson Trace Lasergrips or integral lasers mounted on 10 of my handguns of various types.
Mastering the Product?
Crimson Trace expanded beyond Lasergrips to include tactical lights, red dot sights and rifle scopes.
While green lasers look cool in low-light shots like this one, they are quite visible in bright light. This makes them potentially more useful in more situations than red lasers. Image: Crimson Trace
It is full of excellent features.
Simply unscrew the flashlight head and drop the battery out.
A tiny red/green LED is located on the battery to indicate charging status.
The front end of the CMR-301 shows the white light on one side of the unit with the laser on the other. Image: Crimson Trace
A unique glow-in-the-dark mode selection switch is located at the rear of the unit.
The light can be operated by pushing the rubberized central switch.
The first is the sleekM-LOK 15 free-floated handguard, covering a 1:8 twist barrel that is 16 long.
You are not limited to mounting the CMR-301 to the top rail of a rifle. Here, it is mounted on the left side of a rifle. Image: Crimson Trace
The next is the precision nickel boron-coated flat trigger, which delivered a crisp 3 lb., 1.5 oz.
trigger pull according to my Wheeler Engineering Trigger Pull gauge.
The difference between the two gas systems is quite noticeable in my experience.
In this position, the white light from the CMR-301 can illuminate both targets and the front sight.
The included steel BUIS are excellent.
In this position, the controls and the on/off switch can be accessed by my left thumb.
I left the BUIS in place.
The author mounted the Crimson trace CMR-301 in the 9-o’clock position using the M-LOK attachment points on the SAINT Victor.
On the range, the CMR-301 functioned flawlessly (of course).
With the mounting points I used, accessing the controls was easy.
Even 500 lumens would be plenty bright for tactical use.
You can use the remote switch for the CMR-301. A remote allows you to put the controls where they are easiest to manipulate. Image: Crimson Trace
Green is the only way to go on lasers these days in my opinion.
Also, green is BRIGHT.
It stands out much more than red especially during daylight.
MSRP of the Standard CMR-301 is $314.99.
A tan option is available for $339.99.
The MSRP of the Springfield Armory SAINT Victor Rifle is $1,125.00.
