Wilsonville, OR -(AmmoLand.com)- Shooters, and some of the firearms they shoot, have been legendary with the hours spent shooting, number of shots fired—and targets hit or paper bull’s-eyes punched.

For some, however, shooting can be a grueling sport. Then, there’s Crimson Trace and its relentless product testing procedures—another grueling shooting process.

“We have more than 50 certified shooters here at Crimson Trace, and this year they will shoot more than 100,000 rounds down range,” reports Charlie Sunderlin, Crimson Trace armorer. “Product testing can be a grueling affair here, with thousands of rounds shot through a single firearm during the product testing process. Sometimes the firearm fails well before the Crimson Trace laser sight testing is completed. This testing process is not for weak or poorly designed products.” The testing process is rigorous—and thorough.

All product test shooters are required to wear ear and eye protection, and are limited to no more than 500 rounds (or less with some firearms) per day. Shooters also follow all range safety rules and adhere to standard hygiene rules regarding exposure to lead. Testing can be an endurance event. Testers often tape fingers and hands to prevent blisters, or wear shooting gloves to offset hand fatigue. Along with the physical challenges are the pages of paperwork and forms to be completed regarding the product’s performance. Crimson Trace product testing sets the industry standards—period.

Crimson Trace product testing is so challenging that a specially-designed pneumatic test shooting machine also failed. It simply could not handle the high volume of rounds—or the resulting recoil. That machine was replaced by the 50-plus test shooters who volunteer to test new products before those items are released to retail and arrive on store shelves.

The great news is that the rigorous product testing results in high performance—and reliable—products for customers. Testing in engineering, then in production, and next enduring the shooting process on the test range, results in products that firearms owners, shooters, law enforcement and military soldiers can rely on. Crimson Trace’s testing methods and standards are legendary and unequalled in the shooting sports industry.

Crimson Trace now offers more than 200 laser sight and light products for a wide assortment of firearms. Several of the company’s products, such as the Rail Master Pro, combine light and a laser sight in one easy-to-operate unit. Crimson Trace is widely recognized as the world leader in establishing laser sights as standard equipment on concealed-carry and personal-defense firearms.

All Crimson Trace products are Proudly American. Full product details or a dealer locator link are at www.crimsontrace.com.
