Crimson Trace Kimber Solo Carry Lasergrips

Crimson Trace

Wilsonville, OR --(Ammoland.com)- Crimson Trace, market leader for integrated laser sighing systems, proudly announces the upcoming availability for instinctively activated Lasergrips for Kimber’s new, innovative compact 9mm carry pistol – The Solo.

Ready to hit the market in late spring, the two sku offering is the result of painstaking and exhaustive engineering and are the thinnest Lasergips yet, bringing the decisive advantage of laser sighting without adding any bulk to this compact package.

“We’ve been working with Kimber for over a year to develop a set of Crimson Trace grips befitting of the quality and innovation that is the new Solo,” said Kent Thomas, Director of Marketing for Crimson Trace.

“By partnering with one of the world’s best firearm manufacturers since the inception of the project, we are able to offer both of CTC and Kimber consumers the finest laser sighting systems as soon as ground breaking new models such as the Solo are introduced.”

Available directly from Crimson Trace or as an option from Kimber, the Solo Carry Lasergrips are zeroed at the factory and offer a four hour battery life, as well as the most powerful laser permitted by law.

The popular rosewood finish seen on Kimber’s Crimson Carry is also incorporated into this model, offering a subtle contrast to the pistol’s stainless or two-tone finish with an MSRP of $359

All Crimson Trace products are proudly designed, engineered and manufactured in the United States.
