Description

The Crimson Trace LG-496 brings proven aiming technology to your Springfield Armory XD Mod.2 without any permanent modifications to your firearm. This trigger guard-mounted red laser weighs just 1.6 ounces and features a slim profile that hugs the gun's frame, preserving the pistol's natural ergonomics and carry feel. The unit fits XD Mod.2 Sub-Compact (3" or 3.3"), Service (4"), and Tactical (5") models.

How Instinctive Activation Works on the LG-496

The Crimson Trace's trademark technology activates the laser naturally when you grip the pistol with your firing hand, no extra finger movement or button fumbling required. Your hand naturally presses the front activation pad as you draw and establish your firing grip, bringing the laser online instantly. This pressure-pad design means the sight powers down the moment you release, conserving battery life while staying ready for the next engagement.

Simple Setup and Field Adjustments

No gunsmithing, no permanent fitting, no special tools. The LG-496 assembles onto your trigger guard in minutes with just the provided hex key. It comes factory-sighted at 50 feet, but you have full windage and elevation adjustment if you need to dial it to your specific distance or point of aim preference. Two CR1/3N batteries keep the red 5mW beam running for over four hours of continuous use, and Crimson Trace registers owners for lifetime free replacement batteries.

The 0.50-inch dot at 50 feet gives you a precise point of aim without being too fine to see in sunlight. Range tops out at around 50 feet of effective distance, making this a close-to-mid-range aiming solution perfect for defensive carry and training scenarios where you're not shooting across a football field.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the LG-496 work with my existing holster?

The LG-496 mounts on the trigger guard, which means most standard XD Mod.2 holsters won't fit without modification. You may need a holster specifically designed for lasers on the trigger guard. Some owners find existing holsters work with minor adjustments, but that varies by holster design.

How long does installation actually take?

Installation takes just a few minutes with no gunsmithing required. The unit separates into two halves that snap onto the trigger guard and lock together with the provided hex key. Once mounted, you can do windage and elevation adjustments right away at the range.

Can I use the LG-496 with my iron sights?

Yes, the laser doesn't replace your iron sights; it works alongside them. You'll still have your backup iron sights available if needed. Many people use the red dot for quick acquisition and reference the iron sights for longer-range confirmation.

What's the difference between the LG-496 and the green laser version?

The LG-496 produces a red laser, while the LG-496G produces a green laser. Red lasers are generally more affordable and work well indoors. Green lasers are often easier to see in bright daylight and on longer-range targets. Both mount identically and use the same Instinctive Activation system.
