The Crimson Trace LG-489 Laserguard is a red laser sight designed specifically for Smith & Wesson M&P Shield and M&P Shield M2.0 pistols in 9mm and 40 S&W. This Shield-focused Laserguard mounts to the trigger guard, adding a powerful red aiming dot with instinctive front activation while keeping the pistol slim for concealed carry.

Special Features
- Seamless, contour-matched design follows the Shield’s frame lines so the pistol remains easy to conceal and draw from slim holsters.
- Patented Instinctive Activation system turns the laser on automatically when you establish a firing grip, eliminating the need to hunt for switches during a defensive draw.
- Factory sighted at 50 feet, yet fully adjustable so you can align the dot to your preferred defensive load and zero distance.
- Under-barrel mounting keeps the top of the slide clear and works with many Shield holsters specifically molded for guns equipped with LG-489 units.
Practical Benefits
- On thin carry pistols like the M&P Shield and Shield M2.0, the LG-489’s red dot helps you confirm sight alignment quickly in low light or from awkward positions where short sight radius irons are hard to use.
- The laser adds immediate visual feedback in dry practice and live fire, helping you improve trigger control and shot placement on a compact, lightweight carry gun.
- If you carry a Shield 9 or 40 and want a low profile red laser that integrates cleanly with your normal grip and draw stroke, the Crimson Trace LG-489 Laserguard is a practical choice that meaningfully enhances the pistol’s defensive capability.
